Not really dude.. its a pretty cool bike for the price. I also really wouldn´t recommend it to beginners... mainly because u really need to bump up the RPM´s to achieve the true potetial of the bike (which is phenomenal). The motor is surprisingly powerful and it is also very economical with fuel (55-70 mpg). I would say it´s a starter bike for ANY beginner who isn´t scared or intimidated by having to REV the engine generously.
