Hi thar.
I'm a new rider, looking at getting a V as my first bike. Been doing lots of research and waiting for my MSF BRC course to start early next month. I've been looking at a bunch of bikes and a bunch of forums, somehow the V always ends up getting mentioned as a good first bike. It looks like it will make a decent DD, be able to go have fun on some of the twisty roads all over the area where I live, and be able to get me from state to state without my backside turning into a clump of lead.
I was thinking about buying used, but since the V is only a year or two old here in the states they are very difficult to find. I am also trying to figure out the finances of buying a V. I have never bought a new bike before, or a car for that matter. Anyone have any ideas as to what I can expect as far as financing options? Anyone have any advice to keep myself from getting 'surprise sexed' by the dealership?
Any other tips or suggestions are welcome.
