I will be plunking down the $$$$ on a beautiful 2009 fz6r tonight! While I have ridden off-road since I was 12, I've never had a street bike. I will be taking the motorcycle safety course this weekend and hopefully picking up the bike early next week!
I got my helmet (scorpion), jacket (olympia) and gloves from a local bike shop. I'll also have to replace the back tire. From what I see here in message boards people are as "passionate" about tires as they are about politics and religion ;-) If I buy the tire from this shop (which I DO like) they charge $40 for mounting and balancing. How does this compare to other locations? Oh, this price is for bringing the bike in not just the tire...
Yup, it's going to be a long, slow week!
