Howdie all ! Female newbie here!.... Glad to see so many female riders on this site. I just passed the M2 course @ Humber over the weekend. I am Soo excited to buy my first bike and get on the road ASAP
Just not sure what to get.....I am in LOVE with the 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R but after taking the course and training on the Yamaha Virago 250 I think I found a new love for cruisers .. What to choose ....What to choose ? ...Uugh! I want both ! LOL
See you on the road .... RIDE SAFE !

Cruiser, of course... duh!
And welcome!
welcome.... unless you're rich, or extremely lucky, it'll be hard to find a 2008 ninja 250, because new ones are all sold out at dealerships and most used ones i've seen sell for a fortune, people sell them over the MSRP.... i got that but an older model (which isn't nearly as good looking as the '0
cruisers are easy and comfy to ride, same thing happened to me when i took the course....
good luck!
Best of luck on the bike search. Keep your eyes open on the forum people always have good bikes up here. Hope to see you out on some rides soon. I am in oakville drip me a Pm anytime.
Cheers

Grr! When are they coming back ?? Is it true that the 2008 wont be available untill next summer.... maybe i can find a used one.
P.s Do you find that cruisers are easier to ride then sport bikes ?
Post Pics!!!
there are no new '08s sorry
but if money isn't a factor you can scoop one up on kijiijii or craigslist for more than they're worth....
the '09s are supposed to be coming out i heard between now and august, and they're gonna sell like hotcakes too.... if that's what you really want, go to a kawasaki dwalership, and just put a deposit down, that's your best bet, but there are no guarantees you'll be riding it this season, or maybe late in it
i was having trouble (stalling) my ninja 250 before the course, then i realized that i enjoyed the comfy-ness of the kawasaki eliminator , but the ninja 250 is very easy to ride, don't worry about it being "hard" to ride, you'll pick it up pretty quickly if that's the bike you still want.... plus it's all about the sport bikes!!!
ya i will probably put a deposit on a new 2009... Ninja 250 its just sucks that i wont be able to ride it untill next summer : ( ... thanks for the advice !
Welcome to the board.. I think you should pick what you're content with, you could start off with an older cruiser and make up your mind and graduate to something bigger once the experience kicks in.
Either way, taking the RTI bike course opened up my eyes on the different bike styles and enjoyed the cruiser.

Welcome
Congrats on the M2.
Congrats mishmish!! Wow! all this excitement shows in your words!
Cruisers are sweeet!!! My first bike was all torque
Oh yes, and welcome to GTAM
Some pursue happiness--others create it.
I was in your position too, not looking forward to such a loooong wait for an 09 ninja, so I put a deposit down on an 09, and picked up a used CBR125 for the summer. It's a fun little bike, and they are out there on kijiji.ca.
Welcome!
I've heard that the 09 models are almost all spoken for already. I'd put down a deposit soon and buy a used bike to get out riding now. I think if you don't start riding shortly after the course it will be like starting all over next year. Just my .02.
Ride safe.

Thank you for all the welcomes & Congrats!!! =)
