ok I paid for it, the pink slip is under my name now, and I am looking at the bike in front of my store right now    Its a Katana...not as sporty as Triumph Daytona or other sport bikes but it was priced reasonably priced and considering I carry a few extra pounds with me I figured it would be a good start. Anyway its mine now I have to ride it back home tonight kinda excited (and nervous too) cuz it has been a while. |

Agha, ride safe and to your limits. Be careful and try and anticipate what other road users will do.

Last ride before I hand it over to its new owner. This pic is outside the 'female' person house. Tomorrow the bike will have a new owner and I will have the green Triumph |

Ali jan, what is the engine capacity and bhp of the bike? My Triumph is 955cc and over 100 bhp and I almost needed a change of underwear. I am sh!t scared riding the beast. It needs wide open roads. Damn its powerful. I thnk it is too powerful for my needs. The Bandit would have done me just fine, but its nice to be snobbish when coming across other bikers and looking down on them with a smile - Yes I have a Triumph |

mine is 600CC not sure of bhp how do i find out? its my first bike since my Suzuki 80 from back in Iran so 600 is alot for me right now maybe when I get as experienced as you then I would want a 900CC....anyway I got on the freeway and was easily doing 75 miles in hour in no time then my hands were tired (not wearing gloves still kinda stupid I know) so I exited...I think I still have to train some of the muscles I haven't used but you would think my hands would be well trained by now ...  |

Just push start the bike and ride it for an hour. Also get yourself an optimiser. It helps a lot in keeping the battery in peak condition.
