First post warning...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2016 FZ-07 as my first ever bike. I have less than 10 miles of riding experience on an R6 and am wondering if you think I would be able to ride the bike home from the dealership. My home is less then 5 miles from the dealership on back roads and with all of the reviews i've read the 07 seems to be very controllable and a great first bike. I only have my permit, so I have not passed the license course yet, but I live in MA so I can ride during the day.

What do you all think?

Have had mine for 5 months now, and it was the best decision I could have made. The bike is an absolute dream. I was a fairly new rider when I purchased this bike and I must say, I'm so glad she was my first. Such a fun, well rounded beast. Stop thinking and pull the trigger. You won't regret it.

Hey bud, better get somebody with a license to pick it up for you, or get it delivered to your home. If youre brand new, and no license yet, it would be a shame that something happened to you or your bike (most likely the insurance would not pay you in case of a crash). I would go a bit beyond and recommend you to take a riding course to learn the proper techniques and about the physics of the motorcycle, at least thats what I did 4 yrs ago, and no crashes so far. Enjoy your new bike and ride safe! cheers

Some time in the first few rides you're going to drop it....

Thanks everyone! I'll probably have a friend ride it home for me.
