	<description>All about motorcycles. Lots of bike reviews. Race, touring, cruiser or chopper, who cares as longs as it has two wheels and an engine.</description>

		<description>Yasser,

I bought my first bike last year at 40, never on a bike until the MSF class. I was hooked immediately. Make sure that you take one.

I looked at the CBRs and a Suzuki GS500. In the end, I went old school with a BMW/7. 

My biggest concern was out growing the bike after the first season. Get something in the 600cc range. It&#039;s a good learning size and as your skills increase, it will have enough power to keep you rolling through the turns.

Check out http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/buyersguide.htm there&#039;s a lot of good advice and a ton of reviews for new and old bikes.</description>

		<description>Bought a 2000 Bandit 1200s the other day at an estate sale for $2000. It only has 4000 miles on it and has a carbon Yoshi can and stage 2 Yoshi cams. I&#039;ve never ridden a bike. Today was my second day riding...all day long. Respect the right hand and you&#039;ll be fine.</description>

		<description>Craig, if it doesn&#039;t run perfectly don&#039;t buy it unless it&#039;s dirt cheap.

Always check brake discs and chain when buying used. These parts wear out and can be pricey, so you have to calculate replacing them into the price if needed.

But I guess you know what to look for after riding for 6 years. Otherwise I strongly recommend bringing a friend who does.</description>
