This is the first bike I've ever owned, so I'm going to take it easy and really get to know it in parking lots and neighborhoods first! I waited until I was in my 30s to do this so I'd respect the bike and the road!
Congrats, really nice bike! The biggest thing you'll notice with that as your first bike is when going slow and turning, she'll want to fall over so don't pull the clutch or let off the throttle or you'll drop it... ask me how I know!

That's the exact model and color I want, except for the year. I'd rather have something pre-EFI. I'm not real excited about bikes that require a computer to fix.
