lowblueranger Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 08'-09' 250 ninja's are nice. But I'd get a older 600- zx-6,gsxr, yzf, or cbr. You'll get tired of the 250 or 500 in a year and you'll be looking for something bigger. Just buy a 600 and take it easy on it until you get really use to it.

I don't personally ride, but having looked into it a while back, I have to say this is good advice. Every time I talk to someone who is into motorcycles, not just sport bikes, but cruisers and touring bikes (especially cruisers though), I keep hearing get what you really want and learn to ride that. You'll get the absolute basics down, but you'll still be moving to a relatively unfamiliar bike in the future anyway when you think you know what you are doing. I know and know of several people who got 1300s thinking they didn't know enough to get something bigger, but before the year was up, they were trying to get out from under it. OTOH, I know of a few people who got huge bikes, and they downsized and found riding more "fun." I decided after I got into my fender bender that I don't pay enough attention to what's going on to be riding a motorcycle. lol Edited June 22, 2009 by BJD3 Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

sully Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I've been riding for about 11 years, started with an 89 Suzuki Katana 600 that lasted a couple years then upgraded to a 2002 GSXR600 that made it about a year before i got my current 2003 Suzuki Hayabusa which is modded out to a 274rwhp nitrous injected beast. Start small enough not to kill yourself, a good used 600 is great but you will get bored pretty quick and want to upgrade. The newer GSXR1000's do come with a three way selector switch that lowers power output for inclement weather but you can use it to learn with then go to full power when you are a little more experienced. I think they started this in 2006 so you could pick up a used one pretty cheap.

FiBTLforlife Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Nope, fuck all for experience but I'm sure I'll catch on quickly.I was actually looking at some 250's, looks like it'd be plenty of power im saying this in all respect man but you need to lean how to ride a bike before you get a damn sports bike that goes 140-180mph. a 600cc it to much let allon a 1000cc. you can do what u want, but im just saying its not a good road to go down, i know allot of pep who have gotten killed bc they didnt know whow to ride. Personally i raced motocross for over 7 years and raced pro and i want a gsxr 600, there is a shit load u need to know in case something happens. example, your going 100mph and ur rear tire blows out by a car, what u gone do. you got to get on the brakes hard, can u do that withing fliping it over or locking it up. just looking out for you man, i would get a bike learn how to ride then get a street bike Edited November 30, 2009 by FiBTLforlife Quote 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
