First bike ? i dont know about that. make sure u check every angle on the bike especially from the rear.gotta be straight.and slowly look over the bike for damage.engine cover clutch cover no scratches.hey buyer beware 5,000 is a nice peice of change.check mileage and steering stem for noise.turn the steering from bar stop to bar stop.if the bike is straight take ur time bikes got alot of power for a beginner,but if you respect it you will enjoy.not trying to scare you just lettin u know whats up.blistering fast machine and looks mean.
