It needs some work but it runs well, starts on the first kick and doesn't scare me...yet.
I haven't had a chance to ride it more than 20 feet yet because the back tire is completely finished.
A long list of upgrades/repairs exist already lol.

It will be fine, just take your time. congrats on your first bike. I started biking only a year ago and had 5 bikes. Gave one away the small 350 cafe racer). Still have four, all in good shape. Here they are. be careful, you may end up buying more!

WOW I would love to do that. The fastest I have been is 120 on my Honda 750. Bike was so steady I thought I was doing 60.
