    I have one sitting in my garage that i'd like to move. It's the older body style (2002), but it would make a great first bike. you'll want to trade up in a couple of years anyway. Plus, new riders = dropping. So don't spend much money.

    Priced to move at $1500 as is. Was only *just* taken off the road. If you're interested, PM me.

    I found I really great deal on a Honda CBR 125. I know it's not that fast, but for my first bike, it's fine.
    I want to practice, gain more confidence, and maybe in 2012, I'll get the Ninja.
    First, from one female to another, congratulations! I got my M2 last August. I now own a Honda CBR125. Right now, it is the perfect bike for me. It's a great first bike! I'm still learning and gaining confidence. Though, I truly believe we never stop learning, or gaining confidence. People may try to tell you'll outgrow the bike too soon and it would be better to start on a bigger bike. That's their opinion. And only that. Only *you* will know if/when you want a bigger motorcycle.

    Please, please do *not* let anyone talk/persuade you into purchasing a bike that you are not 101% comfortable with. Sure, the CBR125 may not be as fast as some bikes. But, if you're anything like me, right now speed is not important. As long as I can keep up with traffic, I'm happy. I have no desire to ride on highways right now. Maybe one day.

    Gear is important. Someone mentioned Royal Distributing. I was actually there on the weekend. Purchased leather jacket, gloves and boots. I think I did pretty good, price-wise. (My first jacket was also purchased there. It's a textile one. It was about $30 cheaper. Wish I had bought one for my daughter now).

    Anyway, please stay safe and enjoy riding. And remember, do what is right for you, and only you!

    Congrats!

    What's so special about a female getting her M2? I'm sure women can ride bikes just like men, can't they? Strangely, we don't see that many of them out there though... Too bad...

    My friend has a 2009 Ninja, she's a bit shorter than I am, and had it lowered. I sat on it, and was flat footed on the ground.
    It was perfect for me.

    Congrats on the course. I used to teach that same course. The weather must have been nice because I know breathing in those 2 strokes on hot asphalt in the middle of the summer makes for a long weekend.

    Re: Another Female Passes The M2!

    You sound exactly like me! I was thinking the same thing.
    I don't care about speed right now. I want to take things slow, and practice!
    I agree with you: as long as I can keep up with traffic, I'm fine with that.
    I have no desire to ride on the highway either. Well, not now anyways.

    I got my gear back in September at Royal. Got some great deals there.

    I think it's because you don't see many female motorcyclists on the road. A lot of people have the assumption that women are bad drivers, so they're surprised to find out a girl can actually drive.

    The weather was perfect! Not too hot, and not too cold. I was worried it was going to rain, but we lucked out!
