Work... is so... dull... and I am so overpaid for what I actually do on a day to day basis while being underpaid for my actual job description

are you getting a harley or a crotch rocket?

Ninja jokes aside, I'm leaning heavily towards a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R for the first 6 months to a year, then once I'm comfortable on that trading up for a 500-600cc model. At that point I may go for more of a cruiser type bike but I think the crotch rocket type bikes are going to handle better for city driving in general.

All the articles/reviews I've read about good starter bikes puts this one right at the top in terms of "new rider compatibility" vs. cost.

2008 model because kawasaki did a major redesign of the ninja model for the first time since 1988. They re-engineered about 70% of the bike improving just about everything people had gripes about with the previous models.

that's probably a good idea. then you don't feel compelled to get your own "pepperoni sue" to ride on the back right away

I could never get on one of those things again man, they freak me out a bit.

Good to hear from you!

I've wanted to get a motorcycle for so long! Brian said once we have our finances in better order he'll let me get one. I'm soo jealous.

If you ride without a helmet, I'll come over there and save the pavement the trouble of crushing your skull for you.

That being said, enjoy the motorcycle. :-D
