Hey everyone, hope all is well. New to the forums and the biking community. Don’t have one yet as I am in the looking/research phase of things at the moment. I am going to take a motorcycle learning course, beginners course soon at a local state certified school. Think it will set me back only $200 but I think it’s well worth the money for 3 days learning all of the basics. Plus the fact that I never road a bike other than a bicycle lol.

Now the bikes I am interested in, still not fully sure yet. I don’t want anything above a 250 I think for a first time bike. Or if I go scooter route, possible 400 – 600 range maybe.

My original choice was going to be a scooter due to being an automatic, great fuel economy and with Nashville traffic I feel I might really put some abuse on the clutch.

Or if I go bike route, I have three in mind presently, Honda rebel, the Ninja 250 (08 model, sucker is HOT!) or the CFMoto V3. I also really love the style of the V3, and that bike is an automatic as well. Uses a honda helix if I am not mistaken setup (engine/transmission) however on a bike style. The body looks really cool. So still unsure which path to go.

Although I think once I take the course, it will all be much more clearer then

Thanks and lookign forward to all of this.

I took the MSF course here in Texas, and it was VERY much worth the time and money. I read somewhere that you can very literally learn in two days what most riders will take two years to learn just by trial and error. For instance, they teach you the proper technique to use when encountering loose neighborhood dogs that charge you. I’ve literally used that technique now four times in the last five months and it’s worked like a charm every time. Without the course I wouldn’t have been prepared for the situation.
