chapo123 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 okay well ive been thinking and i had a little pocket bike 110cc and that thing was a blast to drive. im thinking now for summer i might get a big boy bike lol maybe something small i really like how easy they are to work on and fun to cruise with. the ladies are a plus what are some good starter bikes? i got the whole clutch shift etc thing down just get used to more power? i really like the gixxers but to expensive.. maybe try to find something decent for under 2k? also what is considered high miles for a bike? i know for me cars are anything over 100k something like that.. i dont mind getting a old gixxer or bike as long as it looks decent and sounds nice, not the ducati rumbling noise. the high pitched sweet sound i think this thing would be fun for summer though!

bre2ts Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I am assuming you want a sports bike cause you mentioned gixxers. I personally think that the ninja 250s are a nice starter bikes. Not too big, plenty of power for a beginner and not too pricey. Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapo123 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 yeah sports bikes, i would want to start bigger, because eventualy id want to upgrade. i think a 600 would be plenty.. and no i wouldnt be stupid with it until im 100% comfy with it.

bre2ts Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 How old are you? How big are you? Do you have any experience riding at all(dirtbikes, friends bikes etc)? you also got to remember that like with almost anything as you go up in size you go up in price. 2k is not alot to work with. You can get older gixxer 400s and 600s in that price range but remember you get what you pay for. I personally bougt a 15 yr old bike on purpose in order to chop it but you want reliability and condition. Also have you looked into your states requirements? You probably are going to need to take a class and test before you can ride like the Motorcycle safety foundation beginners riders course.

bre2ts Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 That's good idk what kind of body build you have but as long as your not too heavy set a 250 is a good bike to start on. From there you can develop your skills and knee dragging and work your way up. I personally love riding aprila 250s lots of fun especially when you hit that power band. But that's a 2 stroke engine for starters stick to 4 stroke. Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapo123 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 honestly i just love how the 600s sound. idk i have till summer to wait to get out of college and work full time and possibly have more money to spend. i just wanted opinions Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history.

sprkn_ranger Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I'd start out with a 250 as well and once you get comfortable, then look into trading up. Even a 600 can be ALOT of bike for a decent rider.
