drew95gt Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 +1 to all of those that suggested the MSF course and a Ninja 650 as a good starter bike. The 650 isn't just a good starter bike, it is a good street bike period. I would recommend a Ninja 250 as well if you have never been on any kind of bike/quad before as they are VERY forgiving and still pretty fun to learn on. Be sure to buy some decent gear as well!

mfs81 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Oh yeah this is my buddy who was thinking about getting a 2009 black ninja 650 with 2000 or so miles. Have you guys heard anything about motorcycle Maxx in Lewis center? Good or bad.Mr Anderson, Not sure if I told you the place in Lewis Center Cycle Maxx, not bad place! Had some good selections. the '09 black ninja 650 looked pretty good condition. Mike_N92 was with me and what did you think about the bike and the dealership?I hope to get things wrapped up today and have a final decision before its to late...
