Aloha from the Middle East

Hi everyone this is Hamza from Saudi Arabia. I am new to the whole bike scenery and looks like my first bike is going to be a ’01 929rr.

Re: Aloha from the Middle East

HAHA! nothing but clear sky and goosebumps from the warm sun shine I graduated from Manchester (UK) so I had my fair share of rain (.... for a lifetime!)

I’ve been searching for hours looking for articles on this showbike… any sources?

Re: Aloha from the Middle East

Welcome.

Am I correct in thinking that there might be some difficulties for you to find proper instruction in Saudi? I ask because you mention this is your first bike.

Re: Aloha from the Middle East

Thanks everyone for the greetings

Yup sir that might be correct (donno yet!) but even when it comes to car mods etc I depend completely on manuals & DIY’s from online forums/communities. I also have access to a good garage and I don’t mind spending couple of weekends getting my hands dirty. I am currently learning to drive on my buddies ’02 750 GSXR, I hope the 929 won't be worlds apart
==================
Edit: i just came across the why a fireblade is a bad first bike.... thread, to be honest that is the least of my worries, i am a very cautious and protective person. My fear is badly-done roads and reckless drivers... pretty much all of Saudi
