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
It's all about rider experience, rider confidence, and what your limits are. Of course, I'm sure theres alot of young people who would be happy on a new R1 or a Hayabusa even, but I'm just saying that the average kid hoping to get a motorcycle at 16 isn't going to be ready for a bike like that...

yea thts true but say if you kno wat u are doing at get used to the power of the bike first u will be able to handle it... like if u just take off nice and slow and work yer way up to like 40mph in 5th or 6th gear then push it a lil to c the responce in each gear u will learn wat u have to do to control the bike... i dont kno if i made sence there but yea thts how i see it and thats wat id do b4 i tried nething stupid...
I happen to disagree with Mblough, hell the day I picked my bike up I watched a kid about 17 or 18 ride out on a new busa (just a half helmet, no other gear) while I was finishing my paperwork. I rode out about 10 mins after, Only about 15 mins later I see the busa and this poor kid on the side of the road just after a left hand turn. The left side of the bike was thrashed, bad, kid is sitting there on his phone with his left leg all ripped up and some scrapes on his arm. This is just one example of many. Inexperienced and immature riders do not belong on liter class bikes, most not even a 600 sportbike. This opinion is shared by most, only a minority share Mblough's thoughts.
The ZX10R has a peppy powerplant...it's known for it's wide powerband
I'm a fan of the big-bore bikes like the V-twins, Ducati's, the Honda RC51, and also the Honda Interceptor. But...I know that owning one of these is only a fantasy in my lifetime...

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
its sometimes a good idea, if you have never ridden before, not not even start out on a street bike, start off with a dirt bike and learn to ride in fields n stuff, when you fall there its a lot less painfull. some wrecks are simply because new riders dont know their bikes, ive seen people go to adjust them selves and stand on the rear brake, or when they go to take off the bike pushes them back a little bit, and they pull on the throttle hanging on and it just rips right out from under them. I started out on cheap bikes i tore down and rebuilt myself so i knew them in and out, not to mention laying it down in places you learn not to, driveways, tar, trying to go from the gras back onto the road, ends up in about 5 $ of damage lol

i can ride my friend suzuki 250 no problems .. its old and a 2 stroke so im not to sure what its called...its pretty fast.. really responsive...
As long as it has two wheels, any type of bike can really help you develop good riding skills...not necessarily street riding skills tho
according to you as long as its under 600cc's right? (please take the sarcasm with a grain of salt)
although you really helped to prove my point in that its the rider and knowing his own maturity. you said yourself that you wouldnt/couldnt do it on a larger bike because you'd try to hot rod.
dont take that as a negative thing because i dont mean it as such. i extremely commend you for being mature enough to realize it.
dude pb's are the same way. people always post asking 'which bike is a good bike for me?' then they go buy a larger, louder 4 stroke and ride it up and down the street (NOTE: I am not condoning street riding). then the neighbors get upset, cops get called they get in trouble at home/neighborhood, post here and get banned for it. all because they dont have the maturity to ride safely and correctly in the right place with the right bike.
i think heres the big difference. i left home for the army at 17 so my first bike was with my own money. so i learned so and easy because it was my money. dont anyone take that as negative either. if your parents buy you a bike then rock on bro congrats. thing is i took it with more respect since it was my money making the payments, insurance etc. but thats just my personal story.

True...very true. You make alot of valid points and I really like that you bought your bike with your OWN hard earned cash..and not money from your parents. That shows that you had the responsibility & maturity from the very first step!
