The Quest Begins

Looking into the motorcycle market, with two primary options for a first bike (the first being more realistic - i.e. affordable):

  • Suzuki SV650
  • Ducati Monster 620 Dark

They're both great-size bikes for a first timer with room to grow, and with the V-twin engines have plenty of grunty low-end torque and amazing exhaust notes that will give me just as much pleasure as the ride itself.

First steps are to write the M1 written test, get some basic gear just for training course purposes, and complete the course which yields me the M2 license (after minimum 60 days of having the M1).

After that I'll need to procure some decent-enough gear without going to crazy.
