Re: Motorcycle Course
Ok...day 2 of the course is down with 2 more to go. So far, it's been very basic but not too bad. A few people in the course have never even sat on a bike before so they are working more with them.
On a side note, I was using a Kawasaki Eliminator (which was I think a 125 or 250) and wow, did it seem small even compared to the gz250. Are the gz's a larger bike than most other 250cc motorcycles? Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Motorcycle Course
A little larger. Depends on your perspective I guess. Most people I meet ask me if it's a 600 and they're genuinely surprised and impressed that it's a 250.

I think it is slightly bigger.......but LOOKS bigger still because of the large tires and fenders.

Re: Motorcycle Course
If you have insurance and a registration, they let you (actually recommend) ride your own bike down here (CA). Assuming it is a 350 or under (which the GZ qualifies for.) Just make sure you gas it up before you go. As you have probably figured, you spend a lot of time sitting on it with the engine running.

Re: Motorcycle Course
A Kawasaki Eliminator is a 125cc bike, and yes the GZ is a little bigger than your average 250. :rawk:

Re: Motorcycle Course
Well the bike course is done and overall I'm happy I took it. Mostly for the slow speed riding and turns which I never practiced before.

Re: Motorcycle Course
If you live in Florida You are now required to take the course to get your motorcycle endorsement. I took the class the same week that the law went into effect at the beginning of July 2008. I paid $225 however they do offer financial aid to those who can't afford it.
