Here ya go

>>741377455

If you intend to commute, e.g. use it to ride to work, get an economical, comfortable and agile bike.

Cheaper options are the CB650F, MT07/FZ07 or SV650. On the used market, a CB500 is perfect as an all rounder first bike.

If you want to understand the bike, watch Motorcyclist magazine on youtube, interesting chanel explaining the various bits and bobs of a bike.

Finally for maintenance, you can buy a workshop manual e.g. Haynes makes some pretty good ones

The vacuum shutoff for the pump was snapped off so they had replaced it with an inline. Never even checked if it worked. It did not.

Yeah, that's the risk of buying second hand :/ I bought my Hornet second hand as well, the previous owner fitted the aftermarket laser exhaust, took off the DB-killer but did not adjust the carbs. The thing was practically choking itself at low revs.

I was a bit skeptical of the reliability, from what others would tell me.

But I was mostly concerned with the mileage it gets. Same reason why I didn't get a Buell XB12s. Great bike, poor range

That's true. I also like to tinker with my bike, when something goes wrong, you'll most likely know where to look, and when it runs great, you're all the more proud of it.

I totally forgot husaberg existed.

Since they now merged with Husqvarna, now I remember that I like the Vitpilen and Svartpîlen models. Too bad they were really uncomfortable and expensive.

I really want to learn how to ride a motorcycle, but i dont have any friends or family that ride or know how to.
And i dont want to waste a lot of money on something I might not like.

How did you all get into motorcycles/how can i?/where can i learn how to?

>>741380625
MSF course would be your best bet. you do a classroom portion and range portion. you get little easy bikes to fuck around on and to see if you like it. if you can ride a bicycle you will be fine. also having driving experience helps too because half of riding is avoiding retards in cars.

Pic is from the tail, the only day of our trip to NC since the rest was in the hospital because the other two guys I was with crashed into each other.
