New rider here

[Amandyke]

I'll be taking my MSF on the week of the 23rd. Looking forward to purchasing a bike (any advice? I'm looking at EX500's and GS500's) and getting out to ride!

Cheers to taking MSF. There's a bunch of people on this forum that should join you... :twofinger

Oh, what bike should you get?

Hmmm... :deadhorse

Seriously, that's been discussed a ton, just search and you should get lots of threads. The short list is EX250, EX500, SV650, FZ6, are maybe an older dual sport like an XR or DR.

Or, get an R1 and some really good leathers :teeth

Happy :barfing

Kudos for starting out the right way :thumbup

Look around and make good use of the search feature on BARF, just about everything you can think of as a n00b is there for your reading pleasure ;)

Read the Stickied threads at the top of this (Newbies) forum, as well as Training Forum here on barf - good luck shopping! :)

Gear up well too (gloves, boots, leathers, etc.) - you'll never regret it! ;)
