yup, she aint a looker thats for sure. But hopefully once I make it safe to ride and get a little experience under my belt I'll make her one uniform color. Its also missing the lower fairing.

X2.

The faded red seat is killing me, it looks dark pink. If you did nothing else to it I would recover the seat black. It should be a fun toy for the summer. Ride safe!

I think my friends sister has the same bike..... and all the other girl scouts in the brigade. A real bike is no less than 600cc you homo.

Dude how tall are you?

Those are pretty small bikes.

Good find though. Just be safe - it's really easy to twist the throttle.. Not so easy to live through getting hit by a car/truck cause you wanted to go fast.

Looks like a great starter bike. Not everyone needs a 600+ cc STARTER BIKE. Way to play it smart. Sounds like you know what you want to do - start with an easy rider, nothing too fancy, THEN work your way up. I wish there were more people like you out there

One of the guys who works for us got a brand new R1 last year. Needless to say within a week it was dumped 3 times. On the third he dumped it going almost 50. Said it just kept skidding... and skidding... and skidding. Imagine seeing a bike skid by on its side through a traffic light with the rider 100ft back Yeah, he doesn't ride anymore

when you want to learn to pose you start on something you can't handle 600cc or bigger. when you want to learn to ride you start on something you can handle and learn to ride it hard.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure comparing trucks to motorcycles is like comparing apples to oranges.
