Ok.Quote from r-in:
Maybe not a 5 minute job, but not to hard or time consuming on most bikes either. I think most wiring harnesses are on the outside and not running through the bars. Even if they do run through, I would guess they make a connection point you can pop apart to accomodate maintenance, or change outs relatively painless.
400R. For sure I am going to take a class...Quote from r-in:
If that is the 650R, I would think it would be a good starting point. Remember even smaller bikes are going to accelerate quite a bit faster than you standard street car, so they can give a good thrill.
If you haven't ridden before take a rider safety class and learn to ride on their bike. The classes are even a good idea for experienced riders who haven't ridden in awhile.
