Hello there. I live in Anchorage, Alaska, and only started riding in May of this year. I started on an '06 Suzuki gs500f, and it was a blast. The first time I got on the road (back road, in my neighborhood), I got it going waaaay too fast within a few hundred yards. Fast enough that I got a little scared, and figured I better slow that thing down. Then, I looked down at the speedo.. fifteen miles per hour! Hahaha. Fast forward a month and a half, and I wanted more than it was delivering. Since then, I've been riding a Monster 1200, and love it. It fits me great, behaves well at low and high speed, keeps me grinning like an idiot in corners, and ohhh, the powerrrr.. mmmm.
