anyone know anything about these bikes. i took a ride on one today. i dont have a motorcycle license and never rode a streetbike before.......so i had to ride bitch. but my ex-girlfriends stepdad had borrowed it from a friend (he has a cbr 1000) and knows that im interested in getting a bike. so...he took me for a ride on it. granted i wasnt driving it but this is only the second time ive been on a bike. it is fucking awesome as hell. i DEFINATLY am going to look into when/where i can take the motorcycle class now. but, back to my original question...does anyone have any input on these bikes ? i know NOTHING about bikes, but my ex's stepdad knows lots, and he said that its a good starter bike.....the way it hanldes, and has power when you need it. plus i was looking on ebay and found some for 2grand. IN MY PRICE RANGE. any input/advice would help. thanks

Pretty good for twisties, not so good for stunting. Its a spourt touring bike with a small gas tank.

ok bikes, had one for 2 years, terrible front brakes and front suspension compaired to all of the other honda's f4i 929 954rr, very hard to sell the bike, not a lot of people want them.

thanks. i was j/w because i found them for so cheap and they were def. in my price range. im gonna begin looking to see where i can take the motorcycles class to get my license soon. and my insurance is supposed to drop $50-60 in november, so i'll prob. wait till then to start looking for a bike. might have to sell the quad,dont think i'll be able to make both payments... but after riding on a streetbike yesterday....SEEMS WELL WORTH IT !
