Hello everyone, my name is Travis, I'm from Louisville, KY. I am new to the motorcycle world, but I have wanted one for a long time. I currently drive a 2013 Mazdaspeed3 (MPS 3 for all y'all that are international), I moderate the largest Mazdaspeed forum out there, but I digress. Being a novice, I have set myself up for a MSF Basic Rider Course next month. I have purchased safety gear, just picked up a Shoei RF-1200, gloves, etc. After that I plan to buy my friends 2012 FZ8 that he graciously offered me with a friend price. $4500 for a 2012 with 7k miles in like-new condition with a fresh bill of health from the local yamaha dealer, tossing in some extras such as stands and so forth. Seemed like a great deal to me. I know it's a lot of bike for a newbie, but I also know that I am no longer a testosterone fueled 20 year old any longer and I trust myself to have restraint. Just figured I'd sign up, see who all else was out there and read up on any known issues with the platform. Happy Riding!
