I'm hoping for at most for a 750, and that size only if it's a great deal. Even though that wreck was almost 13 years ago,I still remember how messed up that bike was when we pulled it out of the ditch. I simply don't trust myself with that much power is all.

My first moped was a JC Penny Pinto that I pulled out of a demolished building. Took me a whole year of finding and fabbing parts.
As for limitations, I realized I need something more after my two mopeds were stolen. Designed to go 20, I got them up to 39 and 43 mph. I just realized I was doing something dangerous when I could be doing something much more safe and reliable.

While I'm glad to welcome any new rider, the streets are not the safest place to learn. You need to have some basic riding skills before venturing out with texting soccer moms in SUV's.

And towards rider, you are absolutely correct. I have already began the search for the courses necessary, and a friend out on long island is going to give me a hand learning on his Rebel 250 in a stadium parking lot. My spring break is coming up, so I'm gonna be spending a week with him.
