I like it very much.
Its not uncomfortable at all, that guy is just a bitch.
Ive just ridden over 1000km on it this weekend and didnt feel unconfortable on it once.
It feels at home in twisty roads with bad tarmac and trails.
The windshield part is true though. The wind blast your face on the highway, but I dont ride on the highway if I can avoid it so...
the engine makes 45hp, not 37, and coming from a 11hp 125cc feels more than enough to me.
The build quality was tested too this weekend when I dropped it hard on a parking lot and the only damage done was a cracked indicator. I think thats a pass.
>tl, dr: Its a great bike and I love it.

i have a friend who keeps his track fairings on but he just spliced some leds into the brake and running lights and stuck them on the bike. You can get impounded for running it with no lights, blinkers, license plate, if its still on slicks, etc. but its also situational

how do I figure out the size of my handlebars if I wanna get a replacement?

>>16826410
a caliper?
Anyway the vast majoritiy of bars are 7/8" outer diameter on the area with the grips and controls. If they are the same diameter all the way across just get a standard 7/8 bar. If they taper out to be wider in the middle it is most likely a 1-1/8 bar in the clamp area.

first of all don't buy new unless you just like watching your money fly out the window as your awful noob bike you paid too much for slides down the road.

Look for second hand bikes, 650 twins or 250s and 300s are a good start just don't fucking pay too much for it, and educate yourself because nobody can choose what's the perfect beginner bike for you other than yourself.

Oh and when you're riding you're budget, hardy, beginner bike, make sure you actually learn how to ride while you're on it, a lot of people seem to forget this message.

/o/tists dropping like flies these days gotta stay smart to escape it.

I want to buy used, but the prices here make no sense. People wanting 3500 for a 2009 Ninja 300 or a 2013 CBR 300 which was obviously dropped. The cheapest bike I have seen in a month was a CBR125 for 1700, thats including the dozens 20+ year crusiers, which is silly. And the dealer prices on used are only about $1000 less than buying last years model new.

The reason I am so impatient is because I have a traffic course at the end of the month and want to get some road experience before then. I finished my skills test a couple of weeks ago, and haven't been on a bike since.

Don't fall for the 'don't buy new' advice. It doesn't always apply.
If you're not a degenerate poorfag and you're confident in your abilities and smart enough to ride within your comfort zone, only pushing yourself a little at a time, then buy new. Just make sure you know how much maintenance will cost you on top of gear before you decide you can afford it.
My first bike was brand new and I never dropped it because i didn't fall for the chicken strips meme.

>>16827659
That GR650 is an up-sized gs450 / gs500 engine

I have a stressful job but it nets me a lot of disposable income so I'm looking for a bike that will help me unwind on weekends and holidays.

What's a good starter bike that will make me feel like a no-good cheap little punk instead of an uptight office drone?

>>16827803
Would ravage that boipucci

>>16827826
Also, the reason used bikes are so expensive is because no one wants to buy new and it floods the pre-owned market with shitty 300s that cost thousands. Buying new helps with that.

Doesn't matter, noobs are going to drop it anyways, if only in the garage, and it doesn't matter how much you read, the chances of you wanting to sell your first bike at the end of your first season for something else is very high, so even if you don't drop it you're still going to take that hit.
Don't buy new until you've been riding for a couple years and know exactly what you like and plan on having for a long time.

I dunno. If you can resist the urge to full throttle the damn thing you could be just fine. It seems the biggest threat to new riders is (a) locking the front wheel in a panic stop and (b) not leaning enough and going off the road on a curve.

See above. Right now 300's and whatnot are in high demand so their resale is inflated, you might be able to abuse that market gap but that's outside the scope of my advice

>>16828099
If you have the scratch, get the CB500. Spend the extra $300 for ABS.

>>16828099
>Vancouver ones aren't local
How local do you need it to be? Renting a Uhaul for $80, or just getting a friend to ride it back can often save you plenty.

cb500 is $6k, but my point still stands. Some people are OK with this. You see it in cars all the time. Hell, look at car leasing:
>make down payment
>make monthly payment
>2 years later "sell" car back to dealer for $0
>also pay for over mileage and dents, so...
>2 years later pay dealer $1k to take it back
>take delivery on a BRAND NEW CAR

And the peeps who do this love it. Just love it. Some folks just love new stuff, even if they scratch and dent it. Of the three bikes I've bought new off the lot, the one I crashed and dropped an dented was loved no less than the others. (Maybe more, it was a great bike)

Does this make the best financial sense? Does motorcycling ever make sense?
