yeah, started on it this year. It's an awesome baike to start with. Has good power and a little heavier than the CBR125 and Ninja 250 so transitioning to "bigger" bike won't be as "difficult". Rode the CBR 125 at my M2 course and test and it was like a sewing a machine. I highly recommend this biko to start on. A Ninja 500 would be good too!
