Got my motorcycle license!

So I’m a little late in posting this but I passed my motorcycle training road and written test and was in line at the DMV the day after (Monday August 25th) to get my temporary paper NH license with the motorcycle endorsement.
Since then I have pretty much ridden my motorcycle to work every day, in fact I have every day since getting it. I just broke 400 miles yesterday and was hoping to go cruising up to my folks in Maine over the weekend but it looks like we’ll be getting a lot of rain courtesy of those annoying hurricanes down south.
Last weekend I gassed it up for a second time which enabled me to run mileage numbers, turns out I’m getting just below 38mpg which is awesome but I’m looking to be in the high 40’s if not the low 50’s once the engine has been broken in (and as I learn how to control the throttle and shift better).
I’ve already started looking at my replacement ride. This bike was always meant to be a learning bike but I’m already wishing I had more power, at least for the takeoff. I’m currently leaning towards the Yamaha V Star 1300 Tourer in black cherry.
