I have been thinking about it for a long time and i have decided to get a bike this year. Last weekend I spent about two and a half hours at a local dealership looking at bikes, sitting on a bunch of them, and talking to some guys about riding. I have decided to go with a used GSXR600 after sitting on and researching a bunch of bikes. I know I'll get heat for it, but none of the other bikes I sat on were comfortable with my back (I had a really bad skiing accident last year and some sitting positions really bug me). I have developed a lot of self control after having my Mustang for almost 2 years (mostly from getting in all the trouble i have with it) and I don't want to get a bike to learn how to do wheelies and endos all day long, i just want to enjoy myself, i have no desire to keep up with anyone on a 1k or do 130 on the highway. Besides state bike safety courses, would it be a good idea to go to a riding school after i've logged a decent amount of riding hours? I mean something like the Kevin Schwantz School listed on the suzuki website.
Another thing i was wondering about was insurance, how many people get full coverage on a paid off bike?
Sorry for the long post, just trying to figure some stuff out before i go spend $4k+ on a bike.
thanks
