hey guys, im new here and to the motorcycle world as well! I have read several threads here and learned a lot! Anyway, here's my question:
Ive looked into buying a motorcycle for myself (total beginner, no experience), and Ive seen a 97-98 Ducati Monster 750 go for abt $4K. Is that a good deal for that kind? But the most important question is will it be a good bike for someone who has no prior riding experience? I will be taking the MSF course before i buy a bike though. How is the Ducati maintenance wise? I also saw a 2003 Monster 620IE (?) for aroung a grand more.
Another option is I go the Japanese way. I can get either a GS500 or SV650 (both used).
Any help and opinion will be much appreciated! thanks
