Don’t have license yet but this is too good of a deal to pass up, permit would come soon after. I have a moto helmet I use for Auto x, I’ll definitely buy more gear before i get on it. I’m not going to be a squid. It will be bought purely as a toy. I was throwing the idea around to buy a Ninja 250r but this seems just as “safe” and more fun. Also, I don’t think I’d get bored of it after a year or two. I’m looking for something I can keep awhile. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/supermoto-gurus-need-help-deciding-on-whether-or-not-to-buy-a-bike/258206)._
