I don't think he likes me!
I said I didn't like the silver on the 08 burgundy 1krr and he didn't like that! LOL Although that is my favorite color combo I don't like the silver fairing.
I'll have to look into that...pretty sure my state farm agent asked about the msf course and HRCA so I'll have to do them both. Pretty sure I get a years membership with hrca when buying a bike. Haven't taken the beginner msf, but I've ridden before so I'd probably rather take the experienced/advanced one. Thanks

The MSF course amounted to a $3/YR difference - so if you are going to take the course take it for what you get out of it, not the insurance discount.

Well I wouldn't waste 5 hours of my time just for a $3/yr difference if I didn't think it was a positive thing. The discount is only a bonus.
But for state farm it's nearly $10/month insurance discount just makes it a no brainer, $120/yr is a months insurance payment on the bike.

The insurance between a 2007-2008 brand new bike was less, I'd imagine say a 06 would be less. Have you checked with other agencies?
RE: Test ride
There is a lot to learn in the basic MSF course. We put through students that had 20 years of road riding experience. Even those students left the course with more skills than they arrived with. Proper clutch control, low speed control, countersteering, collision avoidance, emergency braking, cornering and many other topics are covered as well as defensive driving strategies taylored specifically to motorcycling.
I highly recommend it.

I like everyone, sort of. The advanced MSF course is great. It has a lo9t of the same basic fundamentals the beginners course has but you use your own bike. Try thta u-turn box on an RR with a smaller box. You ride through the cones one handed, just a lot of exercises that can really show experienced riders what they need to work on, and we ALL need to always work on the fundamentals.

RE: Test ride
Usually you have to take the basic course first. That way you already possess the skills taught in the first course and the vocabulary. It is sort of like learning to walk before you learn to run. You supply the bike for the advanced course. The skills learned in the basic course are the funamentals of riding. These are the skills that will save your bacon, they have saved mine countless times.
