Bitchin bike Adam! That looks to be a good price too.

Sorry Adam, I don't mean to butt into the thread, but since we are on th topic of motorcycles for beginners, I'd also like to ask a question.

I've never ridden a sport bike in my life, but the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R 636 in white and black or black and green has me smitten. I think I would need a hell of a lot of riding experience though to get a bike like that. I've ridden ATV's before, but never a sport bike or dirt bike for that matter. I was thinking about taking a motorcycle riding instructional/safety class and trying to get used to riding a bit at a time. The tough part is that I don't want to spend money on a practice bike first, and then have to go try to sell that to purchase an upgraded bike that I likely won't outgrow like the 636. However, from reading a bunch of motorcycle forums, many people say buying a 600cc bike of above will likely kill a first time rider. I obviously enjoy fast toys regardless if its cars, planes, motorcycles, etc., but I am as responsible as I can be with powerful toys, as I understand how to treat them, and to have respect for power. Hopefully, in regards to motorcycles, this frame of mind will come in handy.

What's all your guys' input from all your experience riding.
