Looking into some crotch rockets August 16, 2007, 10:47:34 PM 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. Quote Selected

Looking into some crotch rockets Reply #3 – August 16, 2007, 11:46:04 PM LolIf 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. Quote Selected

Looking into some crotch rockets Reply #8 – August 17, 2007, 01:52:34 AM 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... Quote Selected
Looking into some crotch rockets Reply #9 – August 17, 2007, 02:36:50 AM 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.TED Quote Selected

Looking into some crotch rockets Reply #14 – August 17, 2007, 06:17:26 PM Quote from: bhazard;169926Don'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.
