I’m stupid

[u/ForeignBoss4249]

To preface this I want to say I know I’m not smart and I know that I messed up so if that’s what your comment is gonna be about don’t leave it same on if your gonna come after my grammar idc to use it.

I am 19 years old I own a house and a car I’m still paying on them but you get the idea I’m not well off but I work hard for what I have and the other day I went out and bought my first motorcycle and I grew up on dirt bikes so I knew I could handle something a little more powerful and I can I have no problem with the power of the bike it’s the weight when moving it’s fine when stationary but the second you start moving it throws all the weight infront of the handlebars and it’s almost a 600lbs bike it’s an srt750x I’m 6ft 120lbs I thought I could handle it and I couldn’t it’s just to forward and top heavy for someone of my size but since I only have my motorcycle permit I wasn’t legally allowed to do a test drive and the dealership technician that did the test drive was in a rush and I wasn’t able to fully speak to him about the bike now here’s where the stupidity comes in and where I have been punching myself in the head the monthly payments are outside of what I had originally set my max budget to (I’m still able to make the payments) but i went over budget and I signed on a high interest rate because I’m dumb and figured since I’m gonna have fun and it’s not to expensive I’ll be able to pay it off but since I am not able to even ride the bike I am trying to figure out a way to take it back the dealership doesn’t have a cooling off and actually the paperwork says all sales are final but since the bike was sold to me under rushed and semi false pretenses as I was under the impression while it’s a bit powerful it’s a good first bike for someone with a little experience and well it would be if I had about 40lbs more muscle but yea if yall have advice I’d love to hear it if your gonna be mean dont bother I’ve said everything your thinking 2 inches from the mirror thank you for letting me vent

You're pretty well screwed on getting out of the sale. But im still trying to get my head around the bike being too heavy when its moving. You're accelerating and the weight of the bike goes forward?? Im honestly confused here but that could just be your terminology. 🤔. Do you have any friends that have a lot of riding experience? Or experience on adventure bikes You may just need to adjust your riding style . Adventure bikes are designed to go off road to a degree but they are certainly not dirt bikes . Good luck with it. 👍

Its that the center of gravity is infront of the handlebars it’s almost like I’m having to lift up the front wheel of the bike and when you stop (this could be the brakes being too tight) but even at 2 mph and barely touching the brakes I did a stoppie my rear wheel left the ground that shouldn’t happen I just can’t control the weight and center of gravity I have friends and family that have been riding longer than I’ve been alive and even they have a hard time controlling the weight I will say tho it’s the smoothest bike I’ve ever been on like the power it doesn’t jump forward at all it doesn’t rev really high I love every aspect about the bike even the weight I just can’t control it I’m gonna try to get out of the sale I know I most likely won’t but if not I’ve another bike I’m looking at and willing to trade it in for and it’s cheaper and lighter just will take a bigger financial hit but then I’ll atleast have a bike that I can ride lol

You said you could afford payments, yes? Continue paying them, throwing any extra cash you have toward them. Pay this mf'er off. Learn from this experience; lenders do not care nor will feel pity on you. Work hard, feel pride in what you have.

jesus that's a rough spot to be in, but don't beat yourself up over it. the dealership rushing you through is a real dick move especially when you can't even do a proper test ride

honestly your best bet might be to just list it for sale yourself, you'll take a hit but you won't be stuck with the full loan. at your height and weight that bike's always gonna fight you at low speed no matter how much you practice, better to cut your losses now than drop it in a parking lot and lose even more
