Lost1888 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 My girl is signed up for the msf course. Should she use there bike or use her ninja 250 what would be best for her When I went to Basic Msf it was mandatory to use their bike. I asked and they said no. Advanced MSF you use your bike.

Sapphy Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 they REQUIRE all students to use the MSF bikes unless there is a medical issue that requires a specially modafied bike. All the bikes at Delaware where I went where 250s. Som small Honda Rebel and the Suzuki equivalent. A few Honda Night Hawks and a few others. My main issue was the bikes where either too tall or too short for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost1888 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Oh I rode a TW200. Still want to get one one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhallam85 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Honestly I rather just use their bikes. I start my first class in two days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wht_scorpion Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 she is short so she needs some thing low to the ground to be flat footed I had to lowwer her ninja so she could touch the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 they should have something. My friend is pretty short and she was able to use what they had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliejuliejulie Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 She should definitely use their bike... they will have one that fits her. I don't know how much experience she has riding at reeeeeally slow speeds - can be a bit tricky at first (as you know) so by using their bike, she can drop it and see what its like to drop it and not feel bad. AND she will have the opportunity to ride a POS bike which will REALLY make her appreciate that badass 2fiddy. (I LOVED mine.. kinda sad that I sold it...but i love my new bike too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 they REQUIRE all students to use the MSF bikes unless there is a medical issue that requires a specially modafied bike. Yep, that's the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I would just use their bike. That's what I was planning on doing all along. No fear of dropping it at all. If you do, oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxnut Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 my instructer asked us on the first day of the course "You know what the best kind of bike to learn how to ride on is?""Someone Else's!"Like many others have said, use theirs.

jsheikh Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Its required to use their bike... Their slow and pretty forgiving... Best part is that its not your bike, nor your responsibility... You can whip and flick that thing around all day, it was kinda fun actually... I just took the course this past weekend and we rode these dual sport CRF's. Slow as hell but it was a pleasant change going through weaves faster than i could with the R6 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Im only 5.6-7 and when I took the class they had honda cb250s. It was low enough for me that my hips cramped up "power walking" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I have my MSF on the 21-23 I believe. Best believe I plan on using their bike for it and I will be riding my own up there.Sooo, does anyone wear leather at the MSF course? I'll show up in gear and get looked at alllll day long I'm thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrocket04 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Nobody did in my class, because you don't go over like 20 mph AT MOST. Long sleeves, boots, jeans, and helmet/gloves were fine. Of course, I took the class with Harley people, so that may make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've got my "M" already. Just need the 10% insurance cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SnOmAn| Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yeah, you will look straight foolish in leather...LOL! The first night is all inside. You'll watch a video of stuff and talk. Then the next two days is all riding. They will go over what is allowed and not. Redrocket04 covered everything pretty much. Helmet, jacket, gloves, boots or shoes covering the ankle. You just can't have any skin showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one looked at me odd, but then again I was the only one that showed up to class on a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 In case you have gotten the answer yet, you have to use their bikes.Students who wish to use their own motorcycle must submit the following to Motorcycle Ohio: Letter requesting permission from the MO office stating reason for using your two-wheeled motorcycle/scooter in the MO class. (Example: modification for handicap use)State the motorcycle/scooter engine size. (no more than 500cc and a minimum of 100cc)Name of insurance company that has the motorcycle/scooter insured.
