    Hey Future Bike Fam!

    I’m a 40 year old male in a 28 year old frame. I have 2 years to go before purchase. I just had a brand new home built and have to eliminate debt to make way for my toy or my crotch rocket… whatever you/us kidz call it today.

    I’m a responsible driver in traffic but a little risky when the highway is wide open. I don’t think i’ll be pushing more than 120 on any given day. Any suggestions on a beginner bike?

    40+ in York, PA

    120 kph, right? ;-)

    Start off on a 250, take the MSF course, and get some gear and you’ll be golden.

    120! I hope you’ll only hit this if you’re trying to outrun say… a nuclear explosion. Don’t turn a mid-life crisis into a mid-life funeral.

    well if ya wanna go 250, i wouldnt get a 250. I maxed out my 250R today and i got up to 100. That’s about as fast as they go. but that’s all i need :D

    in those *rare* times that I edge over the speed limit to pass a truck in my 250R, i feel sorry for the little engine as it screams :P
