Hi,
I really am a newbie. I completed the VT rider safety class but otherwise have no riding experience. I'm shopping for my first bike. I was initially looking at a Suzuki GZ250, its small (maybe too small?) I should be able to reach the ground (I'm 5'5") and its in my price range. Then as I was calling around to see who has which bikes in stock I discovered a dealer that has a LS650 (the suzukicycles.com site lists that bike as a S40 now right?) in stock, last years model and is asking $4,000 for it. That would be a stretch for my budget but managabe.
So I have two questions. One, would you recommend the bigger bike for a newbie? Two, since $4,000 is only $400 off of the original price how much of that do you think is padding? I'm thinking I would like to try to get the price down some more, what would you shoot for?
Thanks a bunch!
