I just bought a 2002 cbr600F4i and I dont know why. It just appealed to me and looks hot. I dont even know how to ride it. nor have a license. Is it hard to learn how to ride it?[sm=bangbang.gif]

 

Welcome! The best advice i can give is MSF (motorcycle safety foundation) class

 

I agree, MSF course is a good idea, especially in your case, not knowing how to ride. Your bike is a pretty powerful bike so respect it!! It is only a few steps away from being a race bike. Good choice on the bike and good to have you here with all the rest of the nutcases.[8D]

 

Congrat! I did the exact same thing. Saw it, liked it, bought it. If you got some gear already, i would take things slow. Just sit on the bike, and get used to the controls first. MSF is the best recommendation I can give you. I rode around my block a couple times and tried to learn by myself. But after the first day of riding at MSF, it was a world of difference. Ride within your limits ALWAYS =)

 

I signed for a motorcycle class. Just because their strict as hell on-base. thanks for the advice guys

 

Definitely...MSF...MSF...MSF. Most military bases use MSF because it's the best. I took my MSF course on Kadena AFB. Awesome.

 

Everyone has given you great advice. Take the MSF class. Remember once you pass the class, you just get your license. That doesn't make you an expert. Take your time learning and practice what you learn in the class every day. Make sure you get some good gear. Jacket, helmet, gloves, boots, ect. Most importantly, have fun and be safe.

 

yeah the class is always a good idea.

 

I didnt make it thru that motorcycle class!!!!!!! i cant turn or weave, too scared that the bike might fall sideways, so the 2nd day, I called it quits. Maybe I'll try next month or just let the hubby ride it.

 

Fly girl huh!? you at travis? Yeah those MP's can be real jerks sumtimes. IF you are in fact at travis (which I'm pretty sure you are) PM me and maybe we could hook up for a ride or sumthin. I also run a meetup group as well so maybe you'd be interseted in joining up...? HEY Mapjr! What wher eyou doin at Kadena!? I was at Schwab wid da Jarines!
