you should not worry about how many cc’s under the seat, stick to what the teachers at MSF have been telling you,they at least show some love bro! and you’ve paid them to show you what’s the real world of motorcycling about. the guy that you’ve spoken too thats been in it for 30yrs has an old school mentality. someone in the past also told me the same thing, he told me to get something thats comfortable and that fits me. Well! your not trying on a pair of levis jeans here,this is about your life that could end alot faster than you thought cause you made the wrong choice by sitting on a comfortable 1000cc that happens to fit you…..needles to say after crashing on a 250cc , not riding for at least 10yrs tells me I should stick to 250cc until I regain enough of my riding skills back. I am a fortunate guy to be able to tell you this after the crash, all is well with me just road rash on my right leg and some minor on the left leg, I was fully dress for the unexpected ocassion so nothing happen to the rest,no medical bills and nothing broken. and that was at 20MPH. Low liter bikes are forgiving and teach you important skills you will need to survive the stupidity’s of most cage drivers. in my case EGO and past confidence on skills that have not been use for 10yrs cause the 20MPH crash! stay humble and stay on course if you know what I mean.

bro! those bikes are very kool and for as long as you do the basic maintenance on them they last forever. One of the guys at my work told me that he started on a Yamaha Virago 10yrs ago and to this day regreted selling that bike. that bike is very good to learn on as well as very forgiving on the throtle,its a V-Twin 535 its got plenty of torque on the low and mids not like a inline four thats like a formula one. anyways the V-Twin 535 will inspire new rider. just make sure that you get a trusted motorcycle mechanic in your area to check it out for you before you spend the money or a friend that knows alot about what to check on a use bike, that is a pretty good deal if its in great shape,and an excellent bike to learn on.

Take the MSF course and while normaly driving the usual cage with four wheels observe the other cage riders on the road next to you around you etc.. this will give you some Idea why so many two wheel riders ride the way they do. few guys at my work tell me to stay far away from cars, either be ahead of all the cars or far behind all the cars. leave out EGO and enjoy!
