Message	It'll teach you everything you need to know about how to handle a bike and how to be safe (and most states offer a nice insurance break and sometimes even a motorcycle license after you successfully pass the course). I rode in college and it was a lot of fun, but use your head and be safe. You can't always eliminate all of the danger out there, but with enough common sense, you can avoid most of it. Keep the sticky side down! : Recently, I've been re-thinking my automotive options. I'm heading to college this year, and I'm definitely selling my NA. I'm thinking of : a) Supra Turbo (Very expensive. Depends on scholarships, etc) : b) 300ZX Turbo (What i'm planning on) : c) Suzuki GSX-R600 (oh, yes...) : I should be able to pay off the Z within 2 years or so, the Supra within 4 or 5, definitely, but both insurance rates are going to be very high. : I am wondering if a 600cc Suzuki GSX-R (new or like 2 years old) will fit my bill better. I can pay it off within a year or even less, the insurance will be less... but of course, it's going to be dangerous as fuck. I absolutely will not do highway riding with it; only around town for my last bit of high school and college. : Any experiences? Stories? Just looking for general advice...
