Two years ago at age 56, I got my first bike - a Yamaha Zuma 125 scooter. I love it and I´ve put 5500 miles on it but I´m ready to move up, so on Saturday I´m buying a 2007 C50.
I´ve never ridden a non-scoot motorcycle before and haven´t had to shift gears. The Zuma weighs 280 pounds and the C50´s nearly twice that. I´ll eventually get the hang of it, but the C50´s in beautiful condition and I don´t want to drop it on its side while I´m checking it out. How much of a transition should I expect when checking it out? Would you think a test drive in traffic would be unwise?
