I really want a Kawasaki Ninja 600cc but for the moment this is nothing more than pipe dreaming. What do you guys think would be a good starter bike?. Im sure as hell not buying new to begin with because i expect to spill the bike while learning to ride.
a 250 ;)
Wow. At first glance I thought the title said "crotch crickets".
My bad.
Lol
If you get a 600, I'd go something like my old bike, a Yamaha Yx600. Not the most powerfull 600 out there, but fun to ride. Also an lder bike you can drop. I slid it twice and rode home both times. I bought it for $400 and sold it for $425.
theres a guy on Ford vs chevy selling a yamy for 1400 or trade for a quad
Yamaha YZF600R. Cheap, EASY to work on, VERY comfortable, and easy on drops. Last of the true carb'd bikes.
I bought a brand new bike as my first bike. Don't be afraid to get what you want, you'll only reget getting the wrong bike.
I agree with blu84302. For years I wanted a GSXR-750, so I bought one. It was my first streetbike.
Have fun and be careful.
A 125 cc...
No, really, anything over 400 cc would be fine. I Liked 3 and 4 wheelers in the past.......one time i rode in the 3 wheeler and got hit with the steering wheel when i was landing before a jump....not nice...
Maybe the CBR 600 would be fine. Not to forget, wear a helmet...
Honda Nighthawk 750. Easy to ride and pretty fast. Will last forever and when you get ready to move on will sell easy.
I have a 250 Nighthawk, a 750 Nighthawk and a Kawasaki Concours and I enjoy the 750 the most. I purchased the 250 for my 16 year old son but he only rode it a couple of time before he got on the 750 and I can't get him off.

my bike does an 11 second 1/4 mile. :D
If you want a real one look at a Triumph. They are awesome.
Bikes only go as fast as you make them go. Don't buy too small of a bike, you won't be happy for long.

Don't buy too big of a bike, you won't be alive for long.
Exactly thats why i want to start out with a 600cc and gradually move up to a 1250.
also on the same note this is the second reason im buying used instead of new, when this bike hits its mechanical extents i plan on yanking that 600cc engine and building a go-kart around it, of course with a roll cage.
go on ford vs chevy and find a guy named LUX hes selling something you might like
LOL
and yes Daboss i do like it but alas i am just getting a general idea of what i want aka i have no cash to put towards a bike at the moment.
Going out to Yahama East to get an idea of what i can look foward to.
o i figured id rely that to you incase you were interested
Went to Honda East (They sell all the brands their website listed it as Yahama east) But i saw a nice Lime green ninja(Lime green is my color for those bikes) 8,779 if i did not have my 99 payments to make i would have sold my soul right there for the thing. On a side note the guy who sold me my cougar quit JD assraper and went to work for Honda East so when i go to get a bike i will most likely go through him.
NO no i thank you quite a bit my friend its just this was a spur of the moment type thing i was trying to get the heart up to tell my dad that i wanted a crotch rocket because i knew what his response would have been. Then my Uncle dropped by a biker of umteen years does not help the situation any by telling my father that crotch rockets are suicide machines then proceeds to tell me that i can not control something like that. The ironic thing about his comment that all crotch rockets are suicide machines is that he has never in his life worn a helmet when he rides, i however plan to.
get an early 90s yamaha fzr 600 r i had one 377 lbs 101 rwhp 10.28 in the quarter with my 200 lb ass. although stock they are only about 80 hp or so. and BE CAREFUL YOU CAN EASILY KILL YOURSELF ON A BIKE WITH A LITTLE POWER.
This (http://"http://www.hondaeasttoledo.com/new_vehicle_detail.asp?sid=05620386X8K25K2007J2I38I26JPMQ353R0&veh=37797&CatDesc=Motorcycles") is the bike i will most likely end up with. I dont want anything with too much power for my first bike and i want something i can afford and this is quite affordable.
