I just purchased a red 2014 cbr650f with 1700 miles last Sunday. I have owned several bikes in the distant past, a BSA Gold Star 500 single, a 1949 HD Panhead, a 1978 Bonny, and too many dirt bikes to remember, though I have not been on a bike in over 30 years. My youngest daughter is starting her senior year in college this fall, and the MC bug just bit me out of the blue. I think I got a good deal on my new bike. I enrolled in the MSF course over Labor Day weekend, and after I complete the course I will start working on rebuilding my riding skills.
