I had a dirt bike as a kid an have log over 3000 miles on a 21 speed road race bicycle
I have ridden back county roads an down town rush hour traffic
I know all to well what's out there for two wheelers  Had to give it up due to lower back problems a few years a go.

Old F :
Black is cooler look'n :)

 Get to know your bike, like where the CDI is , fuel filter and such.
There's a StL riders club that meets at the local micro-brewry and they've seen a lot of the newer bikes pushed over here that aren't going through the same close inspections as they used to before fuel went up around $3/gal.

Tomos units are some of the better units out there too.

That bike after the initial 300 mile honeymoon will easily get right up to 55, if you do decide to ride the higher speeds, may I suggest a windshield? coupla big bugs and weekender rocks & your chest will thank you for it.

Bummer about the back news, but with this you'll be able to smell and feel the area again, instead of having them just pass by in a blurrrrr.

I'm either getting hooked on riding again or getting old one of the two,) but I'd rather ride this even in the cold and light rain.
Enjoy!!

PS It is a real pain in the wallet pushing 5.50 worth of 90+ Octane in there huh :-)

Oops sorry no edit button :)
Yours is in silver, is it metallic or gun metal silver? Bet it could be lit up with some well placed LEDs :-)

Cheers
