    Cool. The first bike always leaves lasting memories. My first was a Kawasaki KZ650 (fairing, saddlebags, travel trunk, etc), ridden two-up (wife & myself) cross-country in Dec (snow, ice, etc) two months after picking it up. My second was a red 1000cc BMW R100RT, ridden mostly in Europe. After that, the rest were just bikes I rode at some point (no significant importance).

    Congrats, nice scoot! Props for starting small. Too many people buy too big for their first bike. Have you taken the MSF course yet? If not, I highly recommend it. They will help teach good habits before bad ones can form.
