Good for you for taking a course to start off. The 750 should be a good size bike to start out on as long as you take it easy. I sugest finding an empty parking lot when you first pick it up to get familiar with how it handles. I do that every spring a few time just to shake off the rust. Ive been riding for over 20 years.

I am the black sheep in my family (or perhaps the white sheep ). I ride a BMW R1100RS, but all the rest of my family rides cruisers. My sister and brother in law both ride Harleys, my brother has an older Yamaha Maxim, and my Mom rides a Honda Shadow Ace. My wife rides a Triumph Bonneville, which is more of a standard style bike at least. On her side of the family I have more support for my sport touring tastes. Her brother rides a Suzuki Katana 1100, and her dad, a Kawisaki Concours.

I know all to well the costs of owning a motorcycle, but its worth every penny. If you think Harley's cost lots, try a Beemer. I pumped $3000 into toys for mine this winter and I still have a long wish list . With that and the basement development including my new reef tank... well just see my signature line.
