Hey, a couple of Weekends ago, I took the Rider's Edge - New Rider Course and passed both tests, riding and written. I got my waiver card and then I went to the Department of Motor Vehicles and got a Motorcycle Endorsement on my Driver's License. I do not have a Motorcycle YET but I plan on buying one this year. The bike I am looking into getting is the 2009 Buell XB12Scg, mainly because of the lower seat height. When I was the first day of class for the Rider's Edge program, the students got to tour the Dealership and sit on the Bikes. The first bike I sat on was the Buell XB12Ss but the seat height was a little to high for me, but I liked how the bike felt and stuff.

I've actually been talking to a Sales Person at a Harley-Davidson/Buell Dealership and he said they will be getting a 2009 Buell XB12Scg in late October. I am going to put a Deposit on the Bike and when it arrives, all I have to do is Finalize the sale within 10-days after it gets to the dealership.

I have a question though. Does anyone know any Motorcycle Insurance Companies that will let you shut off your Insurance during the Winter months?? Or just make you pay for Comprehensive Insurance??

i have been looking at the same bik also. it will be my first bik also so im not sure it it is a great idea to jump right into such a beast of a bike. i am comntimplating buying like an 05 xb9 or somthing then maybe go for the xb12scg my second season.

as for insurance i know state farm will let you switch insurance to "storage" for winter for cars so im pretty sure they do it for bike as well. good luck with the bike and post some pics when you get it.
