Hey guys I'm Dillon I'm 23 and I just bought a 2008 XB12S!!! I love the thing. I paid $4200 for it and it's got 20k miles. I quickly realized after I took a 2 hour ride home on it then took a spin on my friends Kawasaki that was definitely way easier to ride on, that my bike wasn't a beginners bike. I rode dirt bikes as a kid for about 5 years before they got stolen out of my garage. This is my first bike and I want to join the community here and would appreciate some tips, pointers or anything to help me get started as I want to be as safe as possible since I'm riding in the heart of Los Angeles. Thanks!
