[QUOTE="KOPBET, post: 1891424, member: 4153"] I'm considering buying one and I would like some advice on some things. I haven't ridden one since I was stationed in Biloxi in the mid 70's. Since I haven't ridden in a long time I would consider myself back to near beginner stage. And, I have somewhat short legs (5'7"). So ... I would probably want to look at something with a seat height of maybe around 30-31 inches so I can keep my feet flat on the ground without full extension of the legs. On the lighter side. Considering something like a Kawasaki Ninja 250. I'd probably buy used but I don't particulary know how to evaluate one mechanically. Maybe new would be wiser? I want to take the MSF course before any purchase, so I would need to purchase a helmet and some gear but I don't know what to buy or look for. Something DOT of course, but not a $500 CF helmet. Any thoughts on the above are appreciated. Or you can tell me I'm too old to learn new tricks, quit wasting my time and forget it. [/QUOTE]
