Well then, it's a good thing the smallest sportster is still 283cc more than that 600cc minimum. Good on you going through the training and get whatever bike you have your eye on!

Mazel Tov! I'm on my third Sporty. If you like it, get it. Check Craigslist for some good deals.

Congratulations. A lady I work with took and passed the MSF course last weekend at the age of 50! Told me it was on her bucket list to learn how to ride and get in the wind.

Good luck on choosing a new bike.

Congrats! My first bike at 16 was a 250 HD. I quickly graduated to a 900 Spurtser. Man they were quick back then. Anyway, enjoy young man ;-)
