Been putting too many miles on the black gas cap and hash marks so decided to finally get a bike like I've always desired to do. It's my first one and look forward to learning and feeling dat freedom (and occasional pavement probably).

I WAS gonna go with the base model, a 2009 Hyosung 250R, but instead settled on a 2001 Suzuki SV650. I got it for a STEAL and am quite pleased with it for the time being.

As soon as we both learn to ride lol

Short jokes yayyyy lol

Right now it's honestly not that bad. I can touch the balls of both feet. I do lower it I'll start with a lower seat. I don't really want to alter the suspension geometry.

Sv650 is a nice little bike not as fast as a i4 bike but they're fun.

I will have a 1992 sportster 1200 completed and might have it for sale in a month or so.

Sweet! How about a rear tire? Michelin pilot road 2 in 160/60-17?

Don't have that specific tire in stock in that size but could have it here for you within 2 days. $155.00 plus tax!
