I just picked up my first bike and am planning to get into riding. I've been wanting one for a while and the opportunity finally presented itself.
I had hoped to start with a 250, but I couldn't pass up this '96 ZX6R that I ran across for 1,000 bucks. It was either that, or nothing. Hopefully it doesn't bang me up too badly.
It was salvaged, needing an upper fairing and bracket, and a couple other small parts, but it still runs just fine.
I wasn't too worried about the salvaged title since I'm sure I'll end up dropping it at least once or twice anyway lol.
I'm really looking forward to getting out there, but need to get a few things in order first. I plan on taking the MSF course in Malden, I'm sure it'll be worth the money.
I definitely know I'll need some gear, and I think I've got the helmet covered. Still need at least a jacket and some gloves though.
I haven't seen too many shops around this area, and I know Bootheel Buggies went out of business in Dexter. Is online the only option around here, without having to drive 50 miles? I prefer to spend money locally if possible.
Thanks!
