[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 1892155, member: 1055"] Good for you, mine was a 750, bought it crashed, the guy eventually died. The stats on new(er) bike riders in crashes that produce significant injury and even death are alarming. The thing most folks don't get about motorcycles is that it is not IF, it is WHEN you will have a crash, and what you have done to prepare yourself for it. Some folks like yourself have natural ability and confidence, others don't. It's kind of like the scenario I see at the range every time I go, some guy has his wife/GF/SO shooting a pistol that is way to large for them to comfortably handle, they aren't having fun at all. I get involved, put a nice .22 in their hands and they have a blast. Bikes are similar, start with the right size that you are comfortable with, and can have fun on, one size does not fit all, ride a few, see what fits you best right now, and know that like everything it will change over time. Based on the responses sounds like the OP is on the right track. [/QUOTE]
