It could be too much if you dont have a level head and firm grip on your right hand, but honestly, for some, even a 49cc vespa is too much, while others, like myself are just unsatisfied by any amount of power, regardless of it being 200 or 1000hp.

but I think if you keep your ego in check, the F3 will do just fine for a first bike. I learned small on a 500 for my first, and got a LOT of lessons from it. learning to ride a slow bike fast is WAY more fun and challenging than riding a fast bike slow.

I think I'd want more close-up photo's. There is an awful lot of aftermarket items on that bike. The type of things that get damaged in accidents. The tail section looks like it's from those China farings. If it's that close, then go by and look at it. That's the best way to tell it's real condition.

ok talked to the dude on the phone, had been laid over and bent the forks, plastic was rashed. He said he works at a paint and body shop and replaced forks and plastic and repainted bike to sale. Reserve is $3,000 and said if it doesnt go over that i can buy for 3k cash.

How bad is the fact that forks were bent when it was laid over ?? I can understand replacing and painting plastic if the intent was to resale for a profit. Especially since he did the painting his self he probably saved $600.

Yes, I would not buy a bike without settling my backside on the seat 1st.
I thought the rear looked a bit weird till I realised the Grab Rail was missing, but it looks just the same as mine & I've had it from new.
