Hi!
Okay... I know the fz8 isn't a starter bike, but I got a deal I couldn't possibly refuse. $3700 on a 2012 with 5 k miles. Sounds a heck of a lot better than a cbr300 for the same price. I will take the motorcycle basic before I drive her home, but I will have to get her from Newport News to Williamsburg (about 40 mins). My dad will be driving with me in a car. We are planning on taking slower roads, including the scenic parkway that never goes above 45 mph, and if I get tired my dad and I will switch back and forth (he is taking the msf too). So, any tips for new riders? Should my dad drive in front or behind me? I went ahead and invested in good quality safety gear and helmets. Is there anything I am missing? Also, any red flags I should really look for before making the final purchase?
