I did it.. First bike!

I can’t begin to describe how beautiful it is lol, I just got my full gear (and airbag!) and MSF Course is in a month, any tips on how to ride well, and stay safe? My moms pretty concerned haha

$3000 (And I probably can negotiate that down) she said she crashed on a clover leaf and flew 20Ft and had to get surgery.

She’s riding an hour to meet me on the bike, so it

rides fine (?)

The rearset and shifter is shaved off and she said it still shifts and works fine and she’s ridden it over ten times since the crash, she did order a new rearset tho, she also mentioned sometimes the lever gets “stuck” bc of the damage. Also mentioned no leaks and no internal issues and I’m meeting up on Monday to check it out in person, any tips on what to look out for specifically?

Is this too risky? I’m all fine with taking on a project btw mechanically wise but money wise I’d probably rather just have it be a “cosmetic fix” than something that isn’t worth it.

EDIT:

She sent me a video of a cold start and the engine idling, sounds good and stable. (Idk how to upload videos sorry!)

EDIT 2:

6500 Miles, 2025, she’s the only owner. I’ve also replied to some users with pictures of the lower area!
