help the noob?

Ride something that's "not cool" until you're finished dropping it. If
you drop a sportsbike it will look shit, if you drop a GS it won't look
much worse than it did, but it'll look better than the banged up
sportsbike. You won't fix the sportsbike after you find out the cost of
fairings.

Get an SV650S - best of both worlds. Decent starter bike, has enough go
and handling for you to spend a couple of years on and then jump on a
nice sportsbike.

I rather enjoyed reading that and practicing my French pronunciation.
Not sure I understood it all but then my French is rather rusty these
days.

 

Supermotards are made for such abuse and the plastics cost very little.
Sir wants a DRZ-400 or a KTM 525.

On the web site it says, "I found it very difficult to pick up an F-650
that did not have bags on it. But I did. The R bikes give you an added
lift because of the jugs sticking out. Having bags on also gives an
added lift."

So she's lifting it with her jugs? The mind boggles.
