Good job on starting with msf and good choice for a first bike.

Don't forget proper riding gear and insurance.

Ride safe and have fun!!

Welcome to the site!

Those ninja 650rs are pretty bikes...post pics when you get it! I think its the 2006 year model that has the pewter color paint...I like that better than the blue/red 2007 models. Its your choice tho!

that's probably a little too much bike for you being a total noob excepting the MSF course...

you should look at used ninja 250/500 or GS500F...

besides, not only are they cheaper, but it's about an 80% chance you'll drop your first bike. why would you want to drop a brand-new beauty like that?

Welcome. My girlfriend has been riding my 650r since she took the MSF course 2 months ago and is doing great so far. They are tons of fun and good bikes.
