Big difference, you never rode a big bike and pretty went straight into racing it. That's one of the advantages.
Do you feel comfortable on the Suzuki with the clutch to do single track? Probably not yet.

Well it was a waste of 8 hrs driving. What a pos. Grip heater wires were pulled out and no switch. Bald tires. Chain and sockets wasted. Plastic scratched to help. Smells like burning coolant. Would need hi low light,turn signals,horn to pass nys inspection. I  started at 2 grand and went to 2600. He went from 3200 to 3000 so I walked.

Wow, that really sucks. That is pretty much the reason that I will not travel for a used bike.

Talk to Gary and see what he can do on a new Gas Gas, they give you all the shit to make it street legal.

That sucks man! Always a gamble to travel for a bike but it sounds like the guy straight up lied to you. What an asshole.

If you find one in Roch that you want my offer to preinspect it still stands.

I second that!  That 300 is so nice.  Skip the 2 bike and go for the one bike.  I think the 300 weighs in at between 205-210 dry also!
