Good luck?

Yeah.. for a first timer, always.. and I mean ALWAYS assume cars can't see you.. that alone has saved my life a couple times.. I grew up on dirtbikes, got my first bike (86' gxsr 750) when I was 18, they are more fun in my opinion, after my girlfriend starts working again and can help with bills, im going to look into getting a new r6. But a buddy of mine had a fz8 at one point and he said it handled more like a dirtbike than a crotch rocket.. either way have fun and be safe on the roads

Appreciate the tips man! I will for sure be aware of everything.

I was hoping the fz8 would be more like that then crotch rocket. Suits me much better.

Expect some pics wednesday or thursday

yea you'll be sitting more up right, which is a lot better for commuting/long distance.

aye.

Any gear brands more superior to others or worth it?

Im still browsing all of it at the moment

not really, it's all preference. A* is usually good. I have one of their textile armored jacket for when i ride and it's comfy.
