Hey man look at it this way, it makes your Kawasaki logo look much more rugged. It’s like a pair of ripped jeans, it just makes you that much cooler

Hahahaha. Touche, my friend!

[supermedic]

cool!

That’s a pretty good idea… but do you think there’s too much wind at 90mph to flip up my face shield and get my sip on? Maybe if I just hold my mouth open real wide and tip my beer about 6 inches in front of my face…

Those are some pretty astonishing statistics. They practically eliminate people who have a license, drive the speed limit and don’t drink. It’s as if those bastards make laws for a reason!

Haha! Seriously though, how do you guys shift when you’ve got a beer in your hand, I just can’t figure it out… Should I get one of those helmets with the straws?

That’s kind of what I figured would be the only real problem with the 250. A bigger bike seems like it would be more difficult slow speed, but more preferable on the freeway. I don’t know, I’m still leaning towards a gs500f, but maybe I’ll get to the msf course and wheelie over one of the instructors faces on accident or something, who knows. I doubt it though, I’m a pretty quick learner, everything else I’ve learned how to ride/drive the person teaching me had to tell me to slow down after about five minutes. Even on the fork lift haha

forklifts are relatively safe though (for the one driving at least!) compared to motorcycles, so I’ll be taking it nice and slow

[supermedic]

that is absolutely hilarious! hahaha. glad you didn’t drop it!

yeah part of the problem is that If I got a 250 I would want the post-2007 ninja, and those are pretty hard to find right now as I’ve discovered the past few weeks (the one I sat on was a 2001 I think), not to mention most dealers/sellers want more than what an older used gs500f would cost. I don’t know though, I’m gonna take MSF and see how it goes, I’m no macho man, if I really think I’d be better off on a 250 then I wont hesitate to get one. I didn’t really consider any 650’s, I’ve heard people say they’re alright for beginners and others have said they’re definitely NOT beginner bikes. I tend to believe those who say it’s all about your comfort level, I guess we’ll see when I’m able to do more than just sit and drool on them! Thanks everyone.

no recalibration necessary friend, that’s why I added the last 5 words of the post. I know it will go a lot faster than 70, I was just trying to imagine going that fast on a bike that felt small even just sitting on it in a showroom. I wasn’t trying to knock it, I don’t even know how to ride bud

[supermedic]

ah thanks guys

I had no idea you couldn’t smoke in a car in California, they must not enforce it because I’ve sat in my car smoking at a red light next to a few cops… Anyway, a few questions about MSF, do they require you to wear gloves, and if so do you have to bring your own? And do you have to wear boots that cover your ankles, or are regular shoes allowed?
