Hey guys,
Well, I just recently finished my MSF course and I'm looking for a bike! I read the sticky at the top and was really glad I did! It enforced what I have known all along and made me really realize that I don't need a death trap underneath me just yet.
So, I've been riding dirtbikes since six or so (I'm 20 now) and have done lightweight racing. I can ride pretty well on dirt. I know, dirt and street are completely different, which is why I'm wanting to start with a small bike. I just got a job at Apple and I have to commute daily a total of 80ish miles. Highway speeds of 65mph. I have to ride in pretty heavy traffic in Sacramento, but only for maybe 5 miles. Alright, now to the topic. I would love for some suggestions of what you think would be a great starter bike that will get me through traffic and speeds of 65. I've been looking at 250's (rebels,ninjas) which seem like a great place to start. So, let me know what you think!
Thanks in advance!
