And I hope you are planning on wearing protective gear. Asphalt hurts, or so I've been told, and youtube videos confirm - knock on wood because I have been riding for over 15 years (I have a 2002 Yamaha FZ-1 with ~65,000 miles).
What smaller used beginner bikes would you recommend? No looking for sport bikes with full fairings, I like them naked hehe.
