New cbr owner & new rider
Hi I have 01 929rr and it's my first bike so you can expect a lot of stupid questions. But so far riding has been lots of fun I'm sure we'll talk more!

Re: New cbr owner & new rider
I can't keep up with Red Rider.

I liked my 929 - I say get a Scott's damper if you don't have one.
But, I'm a tire-skid, so it doesn't mean much.

Re: New cbr owner & new rider
Get some good protective gear and be careful that is a fast ride for the first bike. Also I recommend an MSF course.

EDIT: Ooops and Welcome

Re: New cbr owner & new rider
I second what sheep said.

and be careful, that beast can be a handful for a beginner (and someone with experience sometimes)

No such thing as a stupid question. Use the search function before you post up or be eaten alive.

Ask away. A lot of nice people here.

Re: New cbr owner & new rider
Welcome! Not the best choice of bike for a new rider, but what's done is done. Take the MSF course if you haven't already. Start with the beginner course. Respect the throttle.

Re: New cbr owner & new rider
Everyone has told me thats not a good bike to start with but a 600 would not really work because of my size. I'm 6'4' and 300lbs or so and I'm 27 and in no hurry to break a land speed record or be the next evil-kenvil. And my MSF course starts this month so I guess we'll se how I do Thanks
