It will be in a turn that you failed to compensate for due lack of experience.

Are those long - extended forks?

If so, lack of experience may not matter.

Ah the value of scrap metal is high right now. Just be careful unloading at the yard and you'll be fine.

(Seriously, get rid of it)

Buy the gear and the training, twist the safety wire and put it on the track. Keep it on the track.

Since I haven't heard about bikes from you before, I'm assuming that you haven't ridden before. I generally tell people to start on a 250. That doesn't look like a 250. Read these before you take that thing out for a ride:

If you have never ridden a motorcycle : KawiForums.com Kawasaki Forums: Kawasaki motorcycle forums

"Respecting" your bike. : KawiForums.com Kawasaki Forums: Kawasaki motorcycle forums

Letter to new riders : KawiForums.com Kawasaki Forums: Kawasaki motorcycle forums

Sample quote:

Quote:
1. Getting ANY modern 600cc supersport bike for a first ride is a bad idea (far, far, far worse is a 1000cc bike for a first ride.) In fact, it may be nothing more than an expensive form of suicide.
Then go to this site and read the safety tips:

That reminds me of what happened to my first bike, an '06 Ninja 250. It was sitting in a parking spot in front of Trader Joe's when an older man in a Toyota pickup ran it over. His explanation: "I didn't see it." Motorcycles don't register in the four wheeled mind.
