I think Ive pretty much convinced myself, but I figured id ask you guys.
Im a 20 year old Welder in the middle of nowhere, and Im getting ready to go back to school. My current truck gets 7 mpg highway, I just need something that is somewhat economical, as well as comfortable to ride for 100 miles or so.
This will be my first bike, but I have grown up around dirtbikes. I currently have a yz450 in the gorage, and will sell this/trade in as the downpayment for the bike. Im pretty confident I can handle the YZ as my first bike. Last weekend a buddy of mine let me take a 20 mile trip on a CBR, and I did fine.
I've been lurking for about a month, stopped at some dealerships and have done some online insurance quotes. $80 a month for full coverage seems to be what Im coming up with for insurance.
Id like to buy new, just because im sure the temptation to open her up when its not fully broken is rediculous, but if I do end up buying used, what should I look for?
So what do you guys think, should I go ahead and get this bike, or look for something else?
Thanks alot!
