Jonny D Welcome to the family. Good choice of bike and can go if you want it to. I think you are already smitten with your choice. But like people say test test test. Alought some dealers won't let a new rider test for some reason or another but most do so get it done and again like said here make it a good test not just a jaunt up and down the road. We will be waiting for you to join us here in the asylum. Joe.
