Well, before, I was about 90% sure I wanted one... Now, its more like 50% after what all of you are saying!
I looked into motorcycle safety courses, and they offer them weekly at one of the local community colleges.
With that being said, a friend has an 2004 Honda CBR he is selling. It is listed for about $4k, but said he will give me friend pricing, half off.
Not too bad of a deal.
