I'm new to riding motorcycles and this will be my first bike. I bought a new 2007 Suzuki GS500F with 1 mile on it from my local dealer. There was only 3 left and I'm lucky to have gotten one of them. I'm going to motorcycle safety class next weekend, so that I can learn how to ride and with any luck will have my motorcycle endorsement the following week. I have gotten on the bike and rode it around in my apartment complex driveway in 1st gear a couple of times to get a feel for it. I know over time I'll probably get tired of it only being 500cc, but I bought it to learn on and use it to commute short distance to and from work.
My Gear: HJC Helmet, FirstGear Mesh Tex 3.0 Jacket and some Shift Stealth Hybrid Gloves also.
