Hi,
I am a 16 year old sportbike "dreamer". It's gettin there on me getting my bike. Just takes a lil time. I am always hearing about people getting new bikes and completely having no trouble keeping them new and unabused. I know what the legit answer will be, but I just wanted to know what your guys' opinions were on buying used or new. I know I am young for wanting a sportbike, but isn't that where the sportbike companies pull their sales to? They are like cigarette companies, makin it look cool so you will try it, and sometimes if your not carefull, may end up like the Marlboro man, dead.I know the gear precautions and all of that. I am pretty intermediate level when it comes to knowledge on bikes. I just need to know how you guys feel about it from your experienced knowledge. However, I would love to buy a new bike. I want to run it in break it down in it's first few miles of new life. I wanna make the history of that bike. Also, for some more info to better judge, I am no wheelie or endo or whatever trick freak. I am a well balanced minded teenager. I am like most of you guys who just wanna ride for the thrill of riding. I have never stepped foot on a bike moving before, but I feel confident enough to be able to ride one. I am gonna take the MSF course before getting the bike. I am gonna buy gear. I will probably be the only 16 year old you will see with full leathers and boots, helmet, and gloves to match. I thought i'd make this quite long to add some new life into this new forum, hence the name newbie corner. Ride safe and have fun doing it.
