Some classes that you take will make it so you wont have to pass the driving test at your local dmv

I really want a Daytona 675 (most likely what I will get), or a Honda RC51( (although it may be a little overpowered for a novice rider, I LOVE this bike)

I've also toyed around with the idea of buying a ducati.999r. I do know of a race track not even 10 miles away....

I'm going to be getting a new bike within the next 3 months I think. You need to get one too, and come out here so we can go ride the hill country together

Congrats on taking the Motorcycle Safety Course. It will save you a little on insurance and hopefully make you aware of some of the differences in how you should approach your street riding now that you don't have a cage around you. I've been riding on the street for a long time (36 years) and I think the key to surviving on the streets is to make sure you are seen and to keep an eye out for everybody else because they are not keeping an eye out for you. Good luck
