    Welcome and nice bike. Have you taken a MSF class yet? And you also might eventually want to get more gear if you don't already have it, such as a jacket with padding, boots, and gloves at a minimum.

    Thanks for all the welcomes. Took MSF class in July ( Streetwise in HydePark). I'm almost all geared up. Alpinestars GP-X Gloves, Alpinestars SMK Leather Jacket. Need to get some Alpinestars boots and I'm ready to go. I rode Dirt Bikes my entire childhood but this is my 1st street bike.

    Awesome! Sounds like you are off to a great start! I also came from riding dirt when I was younger. It took me a while before I actually started leaning into the corners instead of out of them like on a dirt bike haha.

    Welcome! Excellent choice for first street bike. Mine was a ninja 500 which was worse.

    Say what now? What does dirty riding have to do with being a "proficient, responsible, and safe street rider"?
