I didn't sell it to him, I gave it to him. New to riding??????? No.... So far, a 2006 250 Ninja, a 2003 R6, a 2007 ZZR 600 and now this.... He had a motorcycle license only for a little over a year before he figured out a car license would be good to have..... His little brother (15) has a CRF100 honda and has a Tomos Streetmate R (Racing). You gotta check out the Tomos..... It looks like a small Buell... My wife rides too.... A Blast, what else???
