all the people that have motor cycles/dirt bikes are the biggest rednecks.. they hang out in the mechanics shop at school all day.

im waiting to sign up for my msf course for this summer(looong ass wait where i live). hopefully ill have enough cash to get a bike this summer. ive been looking around for some decent cbr600 f2's or f3's for a starter bike, its hard to find ones that arent salvage titles though. i learned to ride last summer on my ex-gf's uncles old rebel250 and he let me take a few rides on his 02 or 03 interceptor, it was really nice but man it was sooo heavy compared to the dinky little 250 lol kind of a weird shift jumping from one to the other.

MSF course is well worth the $. If you follow your instructors and take the exercises seriously, you should pass the road test without a problem. Also consider 4Fi, YZF600R (not YZF-R6) or Katana 600. All are great starter bikes.

hey lineskiah11 how do you like that interceptor? If I remember right it has a super smooth 800 motor.

yeah man when i was riding with my ex's uncle last summer he took me through all the stuff he could remember from the msf course(his wife took it recently) to give me a heads up and some practice but its definitly something i want to take. i am also looking for mid 90's zx-6r's(or any mid 90s 600 for that matter) but they arent as easy to find as the cbr's.

I personally would recommend spending a little more for a newer bike that is fuel injected. Nothing sucks more then having to get your carbs cleaned after its been sitting all winter.

thanks for the input but its really gonna depend on the cash flow this summer. plus i plan on giving myself a crash course in bike maintenance with my first one and i think a carbed engine will be an easier teacher than an efi one. well see what summer brings

no motorcycle for me, just too many people getting fucked up. i personally think they are stupid, they would be great if everyone rode one but theres cars and trucks and shit that wont even see you. riding in rural areas is alright tho. but idk, its your life.

as for dirtbikes:

rm 85L
xr100 (pitbike)
ktm 200
2 ktm 85's (for sale now, anyone around pa want one? haha)
ktm 105

annnndd i think thats it...yeah thats about it. but i race nationals so dont say i am spoiled...bitches haha
