My first ride was a 70s Honda 80. The damn thing wouldnt even burn out. But it taught me how to ride. It was a friends bike at a party, I only had one beer so I was good. Didnt fall it was good.
Next got to ride a buddies VTR 250, it was fun I should have bought that bike off him.
And my currently bike (First one I own) is my 05 z750s. That thing scared the shit out of me for months. I barely road it, I got it out of a trade. It was wayy to much power for me. However, now playing with it for a few months and riding it when I have the time I am much more comfortable on it.
I aint no mountain rider but I feel confident in traffic enough to ride across town and make a couple hour ride I think.
However that bad boy is for sale, I gotta pay off my truck. Im buying another, Im thinking Yamaha YFZ 600 or something similiar, cheap and its a yamaha...
