Ok here's the scenario:
You're cruising along on the internet on a non-motorcycling forum and in the off-topic section you find a thread about someone looking for a motorcycle so they can get into the sport.
What do you suggest for a motorcycle?
What additional advice do you give?
Mine:
Look for a used bike that you're not going to be crushed about when you drop it! Suzuki GS500 and SV650's are super good, there's lots of them out there used, they are beginner friendly, and can be enjoyed for more than a couple of months.
Buy gear! Plan on spending $500-1000 just on gear. Helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, pants, etc.
Take a MSF course! Leave your ego at home!
Ride safe, enjoy, and keep her between your legs as much as possible!
