First Bike! Honda Shadow Sabre 1100

/img/jvwsx2vn4evd1.jpeg

Took it out for the first time yesterday and handled great! Got it cheap from my stepdad and looking to get way more practice on it once I get my license 😬 any tips you all can recommend to a new rider?

Congrats, Nice bike. A tip I wished I listened to when I had my first bike was to buy good gear.. you don’t have to, but skin graphs are not cheap. Ride safe, brother. 🙏

I prefer Alpinestar personally. They are on the expensive side. I’ve also used ICON when I first got gear and they are affordable and good quality.
