You might be satisfied. If your 16 and never saw a motorcycle, you also might be satisfied.

 
  But if you have owned anything above a schwinn pedal bike, the performance will leave you wondering where two of the four hamsters fell off. The bike lacks umph. Its the first bike I ve ridden that actually loses mph when you shift in final gear. I think the top speed I had was about 110-112 mph with a really really long road in front of me. Brakes are great, but hey it doesnt take much to slow down a snail. Handling , it also great, since you cant go fast enough to do damage , unless your really stupid. I added supertrapp mufflers for some extra sound. Wasnt too bad. But didnt make things any faster. Overall with all the speed comments, it is really a good bike to start with. You cant get into trouble with it and it gives you a the half naked sport bike look, with mileage that is probably in the 45-50 mpg range ( I dont remember as I didnt enjoy riding the bike ). I wouldnt spend more then Dollars 1000-1500 on one unless it was in really good low mileage shape. It does what its supposed to do, but you will quickly out grow its speed and want something bigger and faster.
