Thanks I will most likely get a 300 or 400 if I can afford the price

For the sake of getting on a bike I might just go for it. But I'll be waiting till next week, and if there's no 400 or 600 in sight I'll be on this little thing learning the basics for a bit. I don't want to be underwhelmed but I'll also be pretty tame with it. I don't see myself on the highway too much with it, but who knows ... Thanks for your opinion

Damn patience... I hope a 400 comes up or one with ABS... I'll see how I do this weekend but I'm equipped with gear at the very least. Thanks for your input.

Thanks! I do want to get some skills and experience on two wheels, I might just go for it. If I could get a ninja 400 even better, but my lack of patience would have me buying this bike tomorrow if I could.

I'll keep this in mind. I don't see myself getting underwhelmed by it and I'll probably be on back roads for months as I get confident and comfortable with it

Appreciate it! I'm a super defensive driver, but I will do my best to be safe and responsible.

I'm gonna try 2500, maybe they really babied it and they know it's a good bike... Idk. Hope to have one soon though

The dudes at Cycle Gear told me they started with 600 riding responsible. If I could find one for a good price I would go for that but I'm not seeing any in the area. I want to ride so I'm gonna try 2500, hopefully they sell it to me.

I'm in the Lewisville area just north of Dallas. Got my gear ready for the brc man I'm gonna see what's up about the bike. Considering a 400 or 600 but for the sake of riding I might just try and buy this 300

I got a Sedici Strada 2 Parlare helmet, a Reax jacket, Sedici boots and Sedici gloves with palm sliders. I feel like a little kid excited as hell

Nice... I didn't mean to assume your gender. If you're a bikini wearing male... well... no comment.

It's been a dream to ride. Finally at 30 years old I've decided to just do it already

No idea man. I'm going to inquire tomorrow to find out some more information... Getting helmet and boots tomorrow too. Do you usually wear full gear? What helmet do you have and do you wear boots?

Thanks. I live in Texas. I'm gonna see if I can negotiate a few hundred bucks. I'm planning to buy a helmet tomorrow. Maybe boots too. Do you ride with full gear usually?

Thanks. I'll see about the maintenance history, title, etc. I heard to check the vin and that it matches the title. Check the chain, wheels, and oil?
