I didn't start riding until I went to college, first bike was a 2001 Suzuki Bandit 600S. Damn thing was so cold blooded it would take 5 minutes before you could drive it anywhere! I got in a pretty decent accident the second week I owned it because I got impatient and rode off after only warming up for 2 minutes and it stalled at a busy intersection and while I was cranking on it to start again, I slipped off the clutch and rode an unintentional wheelie for about 50 feet and dropped it on its side.
After that I only bought fuel injected motorcycles.
