I know some motorcyclists have ego issues, unfortunately. It's bad enough that they put themselves at stake, but to put someone else's life on the line too is ridiculous.

Re: GZ250 Price advice

He posted it at $1400. Pretty happy so far lol. If I'd spent more/bought a bigger bike, I'm not sure if I'd still be riding after the two spills I had while learning.
