Here in North Carolina the price seems to be about $170 at the local community colleges. I believe the Harley Dealerships charge $295. Hopefully I will be able to take the course in the spring or summer.

Awesome video. I’m not a dirt bike enthusiast but this will make you think about getting out there and trying it. I don’t know what company makes that bike but they should pay this guy to use it in their promotional materials . Thanks for sharing this.

Oh and not to sound like too much of a nerd but where he’s riding makes me think of those speeder bike scenes in Return of the Jedi lol.

Hello Kitty gear huh? I bet he was a bad ass and just loves when cruiser guys make fun of him so he can get into fights. He’s my hero!

cinderla89 I’m sure if you’ve read the site you’ve seen that the Ninja 250R is highly recommended for a first sport bike. I sat on one and didn’t really care for it (but I prefer cruisers). As Munch said go sit on a bunch of bikes. I am still planning to take the MSF as well but I probably went to four dealerships before I found the bike that felt good to me (Vulcan 500).

Definitely let us know what you decide on and your MSF experience.

Hey owlie,
Actually I thought the Vulcan 500 was pretty plain in pictures. I saw one in real life recently and thought it looked nicer. I’ve been sitting on a lot of bikes recently. The first one that really spoke to me was a 2009 Triumph Bonneville SE. It was the first bike that felt really comfortable when I sat on it. But unfortunately the price ($8400) and displacement (865cc) were higher than I wanted. Fortunately when I sat on the Vulcan I had the same sense of comfort and “rightness” that I felt on the Bonny.

JtownJJA I’m pretty quiet and shy too. I fully expect to get a few comments like “YOU ride a motorcycle?” In fact the impetus for the initial post was a comment from a friend I hadn’t spoken to for two years. Upon hearing that I spent my birthday sitting on bikes at dealers she said: “You want a motorcycle? Where did that come from? You were never interested in them before.”
