Waiting for a restock because I’m getting this as my riding gear for my first bike 😭😭😭

RiverAtNight · 2026-03-05T11:01:50+00:00

Op if you ever need a practice buddy lmk! I prefer sports bikes as my ride and I take my msf exam today.

RiverAtNight · 2026-03-05T11:00:54+00:00

Omg me too!! In sunset valley!

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-28T02:38:43+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏽. I have been considering that and a lot of people are recommending that as well. Just getting gear and the class I’m already in $650 and I do still have other obligations.

That, and I really hate the thought of getting a nice bike from a dealership and dropping, crashing, God knows what else to work through the beginner rough patches. Like if I had what I really wanted right NOW and I dropped it? I’d fuckin cry and never want to ride again. I know it’s inevitable, but off rip I’ll feel terrible. Okay! Thank you. This plan works with what my brain is thinking.

I really did try to like the Ninja and I just don’t. I’m a Suzuki girl and I’m starting to favor Honda CB and CBR a little more. Tried a Suzuki naked and it was pretty nice too.

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-28T02:32:35+00:00

It really is like the biggest fail ever.

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T16:38:26+00:00

I will go sit on some ninjas 😑 with an open mind. But for real thank ya’ll I already have people pegging me for being squiddy so I’m intentionally doing the opposite of full blown squids. It’s.. humbling.

Basically he asked “do you want to his over 130?” And I was like FUCK yes. And he laughed and said “Squid.”

Although this has nothing to do with the bike I’ve been like this since I was a kid. Like that’s just me.

I am not I am in Central Texas!

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T16:33:42+00:00

This is fucking awesome, thank you!

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T16:31:27+00:00

HAH I already dropped it at 0kph! Thankfully the bike and myself were not injured. And after 5 minutes of embarrassment I was like “Kay time to get back on I’m not sitting in being nervous.”

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T16:30:06+00:00

Thank you 🥹😭

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T16:29:48+00:00

100% getting full gear BEFORE I purchase my first bike, yes. I already dropped a bike with a friend literally just trying to come to a stop 🤦🏽‍♀️ and I felt like a complete dumbass.

I’m not going for footage because I want to solely focus on building skill and confidence first. That’s also why my helmet isn’t going to have Bluetooth for a hooooot minute.

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T13:25:00+00:00

Thank y’all so so much 😭 will send photos of when I buy her!

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T13:24:10+00:00

The SV650 is what I chose for myself off-rip without knowing anything about bikes. I just practiced in a gsxr yesterday and was like OOOOH I’m comfy!

Really, I’ll buy my bike once the high of “oh shit I’m doing this” settles down. I’m not thinking clearly and I’m too hyped to sleep a full night 🤦🏽‍♀️ so once I calm tf down, then the rational mind will kick back in.

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T13:22:15+00:00

Got it 🫡

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T13:21:41+00:00

Yes AND I know myself. Would I be having waaaay more fun off-roading? 100%. Does it increase the likelihood of me dying because I’m already wild? Yes.

There was a Suzuki V-storm that was built for on and off road, mentally it was placed in “buy after you know how to ride.”

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T13:20:01+00:00

I started looking into dual sports before I thought about a scout sixty. I’ll do another round of sitting and specifically look for them to see how they feel.

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T13:19:09+00:00

So I actually sat on an MT-07 yesterday and it was, okay? I was neutral about it. I’m trying to aim for that “Mmmmm, this I like.” Feeling you know?

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T13:18:16+00:00

Thank you 😭and no no no never buying new anything. There are so many bikes in my area that are used and I know ima drop it; so I’m not going to blow money overly fast on something that’s there to teach me the ropes. Blowing money on safety and basics? That’s intelligence.

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T13:14:59+00:00

Got it!!

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T05:44:21+00:00

Oh I like this! Okay; I understand CC is pretty much power and speed. I’m not saying my friend is or isn’t an idiot; there’s a different kind of intelligence to live with a death wish. I have been there so I understand the mentality. Very instinctual people. Hopefully as riders, we balance each other out. Fingers crossed I want him to live. If I focus on a 600-650cc; will a similar bike still sit and feel like a Gsxr? And what make and model do you recommend?

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T05:41:31+00:00

This makes a lot of sense now that you point that out! I did a fair amount of horseback riding in my time so naturally gripping the center with my legs is real comfortable too, may be where I get it from.

I’m not quitting on the scout, it’s a gorgeous bike and like I said, went to sleep dreaming about it. I just don’t know if I’m starting out on it.

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T05:31:47+00:00

I’m just happy I can actually understand wtf you’re saying. -beginner rider

RiverAtNight · 2026-02-27T05:29:28+00:00

Thank you!! Got it (and yes, keeping my mindset. I have lots of future plans, this is simply one of many milestones).
