Keep staring at it. The more you stare, the more you will fall in love. Clean it again and again. Tehn sit down , have a drink and continue to admire it. Once its running, then you can do the Momo tune.
For more info on the momo tune, see the best answer on this link.....
Best thing for starting out, take the Motorcycle Foundations Safety Cource. MSF for short. They give incredible "LIFE SAVING" Information and really show you how to ride safely. I took it, and I'm taking the Advance Rider Cource in about a month. Anyhew, for a good beginner bike that depends on what you want. For a Sport's bike look, everybody will say the Kawasaki Ninja 250. Good power for a beginner, and the newer ones will have enough power to propel somebody with your build over 100mph. A good Cruiser - Either a Honda Rebel or me being a Suzuki Rider, a Suzuki GZ 250. Both bikes are very similar in size, power, price. Honda has more of a Reliability Stigmata where as Suzuki is more of a sporty nameplate. I would avoid anything below 250cc. The engines will be to weak for travling on highways, to say nothing of interstates. I bought a Suzuki S40 Boulevard Cruiser. It's a little larger, just a bit heavier, and has a more powerful engine then the 250 Cruisers. With 30 HP it is no speed demon at all, but with my 290 pound gerth I get up to 85 MPH on the interstate and still get 50+ MPG. If you want a Cruiser with a bit of power for after your not a Beginner, then that might be a good choice. One other bonus to the S40. It's a single cylinder, and they have been building them for EVER! So it's about as simple and reliable as you can get. Whatever you choose, ride safe and have a blast! :)
