No offense intended, but I see squids around here all the time picking their first bikes that are way too much for them to handle. Within 3 months they are either dead or totaled their bike, with almost no exceptions.




I'll second this, riding friends bikes around is nothing compared to real riding. Be careful out there, and spend some time in the parking lots practicing low speed manuvers as well as quick braking (especially progressive braking).

You won't need any more power, spend most of your mod money on gear (and probably insurance).

On the brightside, if the bike is wrecked, it will probably come back to life as a racebike!
