When you say decently priced...

you obviously are not taking about one of their sport bikes?

I am for sure going to fork out money on good gear. Not even a question.

and LOL...what I might think is decently priced might not be the same for you.
The ones I was speaking of were in the 8-9k range.....

Price isn't really an issue...It's more about getting something that I won't be able to handle with my lack of experience.....
