This is the first bike i've ever owned. never had a permit, license, or anything. dont know much about bikes but i've always wanted one. so sadly i'll be asking alot of dumb questions... lol just please bear with me. its a 95 cbr 900 rr fireblade. bad pic but its all i currently have.. its flat black at the moment, but it'll be white when im done. also, whats the difference, if any, between a 900 rr and a 900 rr fireblade?

 

welcome to CBRF

 

I believe a fireblade is what they call the 900 rr in other countrys. In the USA they call them 900 rr's. I don't know if there is a difference other than emissions and color schemes. I had a 1995. I loved it and miss it very much. If anybody else knows the difference please correct me.

 

Welcome aboard Grimmz! So where are you located?

Did you get your license yet?

I recommend taking the MSF Course to learn basics, technique, & safety. Once you successfully complete the course, you can take your certificate to the DMV for your license.

 

im located in IN. no i havnt got my license or even permit yet. it'll be a little bit, im just coming off a shutdown so money is tight.. and what is MSF? not real familiar with the terms.. sorry..

 

oh! and thanks for the welcome everyone.

 

Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. Good info here... Motorcycle Safety Foundation .

The MSF course substitutes (in most places) for the written & riding portion of the DMV test. Once you complete the course successfully, you'll get your certificate - which you take to your DMV. You present the certificate & they present you a license. :-) Plus, you'll let a little discount on your insurance for taking the course as well.

 

Nice!! thanks for the info. i'm definitely looking forward to learning as much as i can about my bike. every little bit helps.
