i'm going to be buying one when it gets warmer out. if i was you i wouldnt buy anything too powerful for your first bike. i'm getting a 600. before i do anything i'm taking the safety course at my community college, i would suggest taking one in your area.

Start with a 250-350cc bike if it's your first! don't use it for day to day transport! Only use it for sunday rides, and you will lower your risks!

I have been riding for about 25 years, off road or on road! The worse thing is that drivers don't see or respect you on the roads!

WarChild · 02-17-2005, 06:22 PM

I ride a 2004 CBR1000RR, but I have years of experience.

All the newest generation bikes have similiar power/performance. They ride differently though. I suggest you sit on a few different bikes and see what you find most comfortable for you. Don't be fooled by performance numbers .. 1 extra HP doesn't mean shit if your back is sore in an hour.

I highly recommend a riding course, it really is worth it. That being said, you should PROBABLY start with a small bike, like a 400. Since I know you're not going to be in for that (just a feeling), no bigger than a 600. It's plenty of power, arguably too much, to learn on.

Again, find something that appeals to you. I myself like the Honda's, especially the latest generation. I find them light and nimble and the riding position is comfortable for me. The RR undertail exhaust is slick, I love Symetry. The CBR600F4i is a great learner bike. A little more relaxed riding style and a little more forgiving. Roughly the same power as an RR, but not quite as fast.

frankfortuna · 02-17-2005, 06:23 PM

If you want something cool under a liter, the Ducati 749R is a good choice for a twin, or the Kawasaki ZX6RR for a 4-cylinder. The Yamaha R6 is a nice solid choice also, but they are a dime a dozen.

Quality-wise, the Honda CBR600RR is probably the best of the bunch, but is a tad heavier than it's counterparts.

ucsdgamer · 02-17-2005, 06:28 PM

Are you in the US. I recommend you take a local MSF safety class that will also waive your dmv test requirements. I personally ride a f4i.

You don't want to go above 600cc as your first bike. Riding is experience+your abilities. I see kids getting r1's as their first bike when they certainly don't know how to handle it. If you want to be conservative go with a kawasaki ninja 250cc which u can practice on for a few months and then move up later on to a 600 or 750.

I would also recommend that you don't get a new bike. its not IF you will drop, its WHEN. No point in ruining a new bike's plastics especially when you are a newbie. make sure you get all the right gear helmet(snell-dot), good leather jacket, gloves etc.

Good luck with everything, riding is a awesome experience but also very dangerous. Just make sure you don't go above your abilities as you will most likely end up in a body bag.

The line above says it all.

The most important post in this thread is the one telling you to get the training. You've got the cart before the horse.

For the inexperienced rider, a Harley is probably the most deadly bike you can get on. 750 lbs don't like stopping or turning on a dime. 88CI of fuel injection can get away from you quickly.

Besides, you don't BUY a Harley. You BUY the lifestyle. The Motor Company throws in the bike for free. LOL

With sportbikes, it's "how fast you can get there." With Harleys, there is NO "there." There's only the "journey." And that never ends!

haha, well put. Even tho i wanna learn on a sportbike, riding a harley seems like it would be a whole different experience.

but im not all excited about looking like a harley biker, tho.

chill.

Rochard · 02-17-2005, 08:37 PM

Bikes are dangerous and if you've never ridden - I mean really ridden - you need to go with a smaller bike.

Three years ago Lightspeed bought me a bike as a bonus. Although I had owned bikes before, I went with a small Ninja 500. I also took a motorcycle saftey course - in fact, I learned one of the most important things about driving a course, something I hadn't learned on my own or through other courses.

Once I felt better about being on a bike again I upgraded - to a Honda CBRxx 1100. It's the biggest bike I've ever driven but now I'm so used to it anything smaller feels, well, small.

Go with a small bike for at least a year, perhaps two.

Keep in mind that if you have an accident with a car you have a fender bender. An accident on a bike means your going to the hospital - and that's if your lucky.

Good luck.

"SUZUKI SV650S/SV650
Here's a model that's been a perennial favorite, reminding us of what motorcycling is all about-not race pedigrees or astronomical levels of horsepower, but a simple, let's-go-riding attitude that's appealing to experts and novices alike. In fact, we liked the little V-Twin enough to name it Best Standard last year, following a major redesign that included an all-new frame and crisply styled bodywork. New for '04: A lower seat height. Also available: The truly naked SV650, sans half-fairing, but equipped with higher handlebars and more-forward footpegs for improved all-around comfort."

yeah, i have a 2001 hayabusa, but i've been riding sportbikes for 30 years.

getting the life insurance policy in place before hotdogging with it is good advice, read the fine print to make sure there is not exclusion for motorcycles (many times there is). riding a high power motorcycle is almost nothing like riding a bicycle except both have 2 wheels.

you should take a rider course, understand the physics of hard braking, counter-steering, hanging off, etc. otherwise the results could be lethal.

very good way to kill yourself.

after an impact wound on the shin, and a broken Femur. ( in HALF ) and two times on the operating table, I would highly sugguest that you take a riding course.

It is great money is no object, but no need to waste it. Your first bike should be a used 500 or 600cc, well used should say. I guarantee you are going to drop that sucker several times, if not lay it down atleast one time. Your first bike should be light, not super fast, agile, and able to take some abuse. And a 500 or 600 will still be plenty fast for you. You are only going to keep it a few months until you become comfortable on it and have learned your lessons on how to ride and how not to drop your bike. My old roommate got a FZR 600. He pulled away from the curb and it fell over. My other friend got a Camel race bike delivered to his house. He messed up putting the stand down and the bike fell over before he ever even got on the bike. Now for this lesson, sign up for my affiliate program and send me traffic...ALuckyStranger.com

Vlad · 02-18-2005, 01:47 AM

it's your first bike right ? I guess you are unexpirienced driver , I'd like to recommend ya (500 cc category ) kawasaki gpz500 , honda cb500 and such.
there is huge difference while you breaking the 500 cc bareer and riding on 600cc+. Take it easy , start slowly, and enjoy your ride.

Mr Pheer · 02-18-2005, 01:49 AM

thats what happens when trucks hit you while you're on your bike

was almost 2 years ago and i still cant walk right

MCP_Cristina · 02-18-2005, 01:51 AM

Don't get more than you can handle if you weight 130-150 start with a 600, 145-160 a 700; and 155-180 a 750; you'll get bored of the power fast once you get used to it, and always go honda or yamahaa as a first bike, don't wate your money until you trade up.

beemk · 02-18-2005, 02:10 AM

where is the best place to buy used bikes? after reading about dropping them i dont think im going to get a used one even though they are only like $7k. i was looking on ebay locally and they are going for almost msrp.

Mr Pheer · 02-18-2005, 02:43 AM

look in the newspaper or at cycletrader.com

its hard to sell a bike in the winter so right now its a buyer's market but that will change in a couple weeks

If money is no problem, go with this beauty:
K1200S

It is better than any japanese motorbike in all categories. (more power, more comfortable, high product quality, better image, a lot of high tech esp. a great chassis, while you are driving you can push a button and the chassis adjust from sport to comfortable)

I am driving this one

GTS Mark · 02-18-2005, 04:04 AM

Here is my bike

Honda VTX-1300c

As soon as spring time rolls around I am trading it in for something faster. I am used to driving sport bikes and thought I would dig riding a cruiser with a big engine... I was wrong

Yamaha R1 is in the cards for me I think

DH

thanks, i looked at traderonline a week or 2 ago and it was just a bunch of people selling 5 year old bikes for a grand under retail. mabye once theres some more on the market the price wont be as bad. there really wasnt much to chose from.

Fabien · 02-18-2005, 05:43 AM

If you are planning to REALLY ride a bike (not just show at your local bar with it) don't go for a sport bike.
Anyways people with sports bikes don't ride, too hard on the body. With this said, i got my first "sport bike" so to speak (always had custom bikes) it's a Honda VFR800, what i liked about it is the fact that i can add luggage if i need it 's a bit less hard on the body. The most i did on a single day with this kind of bike is 825km. I went to see this http://www.confederationbridge.com/b...id=150&lang=en
Also, if you are planning to take out the girlie, you won't ride a lot too !

Solution ? buy 2 bikes hehehehehe
Custom for long rides, vacation and riding with the girlie

Sport's bike to try to loose your license

SinisterStudios · 02-18-2005, 06:08 AM

If you have never rode before i would advise against spending alot on your first bike, since you are going to drop it while your learning

I also took a motorcycle saftey course - in fact, I learned one of the most important things about driving a course, something I hadn't learned on my own or through other courses. Once I felt better about being on a bike again I upgraded - to a Honda CBRxx 1100. It's the biggest bike I've ever driven but now I'm so used to it anything smaller feels, well, small. Go with a small bike for at least a year, perhaps two. Keep in mind that if you have an accident with a car you have a fender bender. An accident on a bike means your going to the hospital - and that's if your lucky. Good luck. __________________ “The choice is no longer between right or left.

In fact, we liked the little V-Twin enough to name it Best Standard last year, following a major redesign that included an all-new frame and crisply styled bodywork. New for '04: A lower seat height. Also available: The truly naked SV650, sans half-fairing, but equipped with higher handlebars and more-forward footpegs for improved all-around comfort." __________________ Regards, Alphawolf ICQ: 237554496

I guess you are unexpirienced driver , I'd like to recommend ya (500 cc category ) kawasaki gpz500 , honda cb500 and such. there is huge difference while you breaking the 500 cc bareer and riding on 600cc+. Take it easy , start slowly, and enjoy your ride.

Slinx Confirmed User Join Date: May 2003 Posts: 823	If money is no problem, go with this beauty: K1200S It is better than any japanese motorbike in all categories. (more power, more comfortable, high product quality, better image, a lot of high tech esp. a great chassis, while you are driving you can push a button and the chassis adjust from sport to comfortable) I am driving this one Last edited by Slinx; 02-18-2005 at 03:51 AM..

I am used to driving sport bikes and thought I would dig riding a cruiser with a big engine... I was wrong Yamaha R1 is in the cards for me I think DH

Anyways people with sports bikes don't ride, too hard on the body. With this said, i got my first "sport bike" so to speak (always had custom bikes) it's a Honda VFR800, what i liked about it is the fact that i can add luggage if i need it 's a bit less hard on the body. The most i did on a single day with this kind of bike is 825km. I went to see this http://www.confederationbridge.com/b...id=150&lang=en Also, if you are planning to take out the girlie, you won't ride a lot too ! Solution ? buy 2 bikes hehehehehe Custom for long rides, vacation and riding with the girlie Sport's bike to try to loose your license
