Hope you're not planning on starting out on a Gixxer 750...
Yep, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm sorry but I know that the more youthful market is going to drool over the latest 600 or literbike from the big Japanese 4, just take some advice...gravitate to something lower to start out with...unless you're ready for a big bike. But believe me, I've unfortunately heard my share of stories from friends and family about people starting out on bigger displacement bikes, and the result is not pretty at all . If you're seriously interested about getting a bike once you've recievied your motorcycle license and (hopefully ) completed MSF course, and are willing to pay for the extremely high insurance rate for a 16-21 year old w/ a bike, go for it. I'd reccomend the Ninja 250/500, or, if you think you can handle a bit bigger, the YZF600 from Yamaha. All three are great starter bikes but try to get some seat time on something small when you get serious!
Not trying to burst your bubble, but I just want to look out for a fellow rider
that noobs should buy 600 or below is a BUNCH OF CRAP!!!
I've been riding bikes and working in shops & on bikes since i was 18. I'm sorry please dont take it as personal but that makes me wanna puke everytime i hear it.
I have seen just as many liter bikes roll off the lot with learners permits on top as i have 600's. and beleive it or not the liter bikes usually are the ones that come back for upgrades not replacement parts.
too much power, blah, blah. guys the power & agility of these bikes grows by leaps & bounds every year. The 600's this year make the same speed & dynamics of the liter bikes only a few years ago.
back to what i was saying though. noobs on bigger bikes normally fair better. why? cause they respect the bike and its power. real read on that is they are scared of it so they dont act like a moron.
i can remember selling a bike fri at lunch time to a brand new guy. like he had to have a friend ride it off the lot cause he was going to take his permit AFTER. anyways i see him fri evening at our normal chill trying to do a burnout. like his first 2 attempts were stall outs cause he couldnt figure it out. anyways monday he is back pricing fairings cause he knocked it over during the weekend.
you wont see many noobs on liter bikes trying that cause they are like 'oh snap i break my neck'.
you wanna bike get what you budget and your MENTALITY can handle. you know if your gonna ride right or if you just dream of one handed endos.
and im sorry guys although i have been a loyal yamaha fan for many years i dont recommend either the r6 or the r1 as a first bike. the steering and handling of those bikes are made for beginners. they are very responsive and for lack of a better term 'squirrely'.
Heres the general rule of thumb on bikes:
suzuki: top of the power makers, not so good on steering
yamaha: not the top on power, but definitely top of steering
honda: good mix of both power & steering (my own personal recommendation for a beginner bike, and i worked at a yamaha place)
kawasaki: um, well at least you got a bike i guess.

I'm not looking for an argument here, but if you honestly can tell me that a 16 year old with little to no experience is making the right decision by starting on a 600 or bigger, you really have no motorcycle knowledge or even common sense for that matter. I'm 16 and I know that.

yea i agree with him... cuz as long as u kno how to ride and wat yer capable of u should be fine.... but if yer brain dead and yer gonna out onto the highway and try a full blown wheelie at 50mph rite after you buy it then yea u should start with a 250...or jus stick to pocketbikes at the track lol
i would say nothing bigger than a 600 or your gonna kill yourself
Im not sure im 14 and ridden a ninja ZX10R but i am pretty tall im like 6,1 maybe that kinda helped me out idk but near xmas ill have my fathers 98 mazda protoge
