Hello everyone :biggrin: My name is Seth. I am 16 years old, and I have been riding for a little over 8 years. I started out on a used and abused Honda xr50, then a brand spankin' new shiny Kawasaki KLX 110, and finally jumping on our motard converted Kawasaki Super Sherpa. So I'm not exactly a new rider. I've been riding the Sherpa "legally" on the road for about 3 months. If lawfulness is not considered, then about a year. I was wondering if you all think I would be fine on a 1999 VFR 800, given that I am NOT a new rider. My biggest concern is getting used to the dimensions of the bike given that I am 5'7 and 115 lbs! I am also slightly concerned about getting used to the power. I can already answer that I DO NOT want a Ninja 250r. It is too cramped for my size. And I do NOT want a 500. The reason being for the 500 is that I have to keep this bike for three years, and me and my dad frequently take long road trips.
Oh, btw. In the three months I've been riding legally I have put over 4000! Not 400! FOUR THOUSAND miles on my Super Sherpa. I commute to work and school, and ride rain, sleet, or shine. And I am also ATGATT
I think you would be fine....by the way eat something---tell Dad to get you some Quarter pounders or something --115 lbs ,,,sheesh
I eat double quarter pounders all the time! xD I eat whatever I want and still stay this skinny! I'm actually in very good shape for my size. I rape those diamond pushups! Maybe I need to quit working out as much
