Hello all!
I'm brand new to the motorcycle/scooter scene. I've never ridden before & haven't the slightest idea on how to go about this.
So, here's my story:
Originally I was looking at getting an old Goldwing (86-89). They can be had for good prices & in good condition. After more research I found that they get only 5-7 miles per gallon more than my Saab. Seeing that defeats a major reason I wanted a bike, I looked elsewhere. Next was the Silverwing, but after reading more about the "super-scoots" I found out about the Burgman. Now after lurking here for a few hours, I'm sold.
The only problem is, I'm clueless on how to ride one.
How should I go about this? Should I be taking motorcycle classes somewhere before I go to the dealership to look at a Burgman? What kind of classes would I need, and where can I take them?
Thanks in advance for your help!
