Having an Evo AND a bike: Priceless

Wow... Its only a 250cc? Maybe I should look at a used one. This will be my 1st bike and that would be good to learn on.

i bought the bike myself, and my icon helmet and gloves. my dad said he'll help me out with the rest of the gear.

and after riding my friends 1000gsxr, this thing is EASY to ride. a n00b can do it...well sorta. after this its an EASY transition to a 600 or 750

the guy seems like he has common sense i assumed he wouldnt walk out of the dealership without at least having a nice jacket, boots, and of course helmet at least on order if not purchased at the dealership. those are a must, be safe.
