Not currently, but I have since '94. The V-Strom (not "storm", btw) is a good bike to start on. Just gotta be easy on the throttle with v-twins. The torque has a tendency to loft the front tire. Oh, and gear up... don't be "that guy" wearing a salad bowl, jeans, t-shirt and sneakers.

Currently rebuilding a 1987 Honda Hurricane 1000F. Will be my first bike and my learning bike. I plan on meeting the concrete very hard by the end of summer.

I had a 600rr for a while, but when my commute became all interstate I sold it. Traffic around here is scary enough in a car.



Now that I'm in the woods with a lot of country roads I want to buy another one and get back into it.

Started on a '08 Kawasaki 250R a few years ago.



Bought an '04 ZX-6R a while later - wouldn't recommend to learn on



Back issues and this dangerous f*cking city are forcing me to retire from riding
