Make sure to change the oil before you put too many miles on it. Sellers notoriously sell bikes with low shit oil, dont ever take it to a mechanic just youtube all the maintenance to learn. Post in this thread if you have maintenance questions

And make sure you clean and lube that chain. Chain maintenance is sex, dirty nasty work, but oh so satisfying once you're done.

I’m just gas in remote levels of the atmosphere that happened to accumulate large quantities of condensation. It’s not my fault.

I think its a great choice for a first motorcycle
Can basically do whatever you want on it
Here in Europe its normal to start on a 500 or 600cc bike. I took my lessons and got my license on a 600 fazer

In the USA they duct tape you to a Hayabusa and send you down the longest straight in the neighborhood, if you survive 200mph you get your license. If you die, you've failed your exam.
