Hello all, first-time post from a brand new INT650 owner (2022 Sunset Strip, picked up yesterday 12 Oct 21) which serves as my very first motorcycle purchase, though I learned to ride within the past year on an old 1982 Suzuki GS650L. I've followed the forum for months as I got closer to the zero hour of purchase and have read through multiple threads, and from what I've gathered I'm an absolute rookie's rookie when it comes to motorcycle knowledge. I don't own a house, don't have a garage, don't have a set of tools, don't have anyone to go to in person for advice, the closest RE dealership is almost 3 hours away (meaning I am almost assuredly the only RE owner in my county if not entire section of upstate NY), and what motorcycle/RE-specific lingo I've picked up is almost exclusively through watching YouTube videos and reading what posts are here on the forum (although some of the abbreviations and shorthand terminology escapes me upon initial read-throughs). Look up the definition of cycling neophyte and I'm pretty sure my picture would be included.
I'm not a flashy sort of guy, never been comfortable drawing attention to myself and would rather lurk in the shadows upon the fringes and edges of any given environment, while everything I do has to serve some sort of pragmatic/practical purpose... with that said, I have been trying to gather ideas about what modifications might serve me best to put on the bike that are truly useful. You guys know bikes in general and certainly RE bikes way more than I do, so I figured I might be able to get some brass tacks-types of suggestions from people who have real-world applicable advice to offer. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Keep riding safe in the meantime. (I'd include a pic of my ride if I could figure out how to do it; not much of a technology guy, I'm afraid.)
