This question hasnt been asked yet? But have you rode a bike before? If not that changes the GSXR. Wicked bikes. I cant hold on! Start with something smaller and cheaper.

 

only dirt bikes off road

 

Then i wouldnt get anything over 750cc, its nothing like a dirt bike, and the one of the best thing to do is ride with a group sence your new to it

 

yea i was thinking more around 600cc for now lol

 

Good idea even at 600cc its still a rocket, but there fun if your safe on it.

 

what would you recomend in that size

 

Personally i like the GSXR, but the honda is really nice too, and ive never ridin a 600 yamaha only the 1000s so i can really comment on them or the kawasaki since i havent ridin one

 

ok thanks!

 

I love the looks of the R6 beside the tail pipe. The GSXRs are very nice bikes, I wouldn't hesitate buying one. I'm a big yamaha fan, and IMO they have the best cosmetics and hard parts.

I personally ride a rare 1995 GPZ1100E Kawasaki. Its well capable of 170+mph and you don't see many of them around. But its heavy...and extremely powerful.

 

I am like Rick ^^^^^^^^^ a big Yammi fan, having a YZ250, Grizzly 660, and R6. I started out on dirt bikes too, then Ninjas, then to a Suzuki Katana (never again-that was one of the most worthless bikes I have ever ridden, but was cheap) and now the R6. I am a big guy at 6'5" and 245, but the R6 is plenty for me-plenty quick, great handling, good looks, and reliable as heck. It is soon to become my daily driver now that the weather has warmed up a bit. Try one out if you are able-you will not be dissapointed!

 

Im thinking of a gsxr 600 or a r6 for me. Im a small guy dont need anything bigger.

 

Here is a pic of my ZX9R I have done up. I love Kawi's for street bikes. No matter which one you pick, PLEASE keep your head about you. It is way too easy to blow down a back road over 120mph and something poke out at you. I have hit a deer and a possum both causing real bad crashes. A 600 is no slouch and will get you in trouble real quick. All the newer 600's are capable of 165-170MPH stock and are a blast to drive. I like the bigger displacement bikes because you can ride them lazy.... not shift so much. Oh and figure on at least 2 back tires a year and 1 front. If you like to burn out and launch hard from a start, you will go through 3-4+ a year. At 200+ a pop, they arent any cheaper than a truck tire.

First, Smokin95, go out and take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation training course.

They will provide a bike, it's reasonably priced, and it will get you started learning street bike skills correctly, and hopefully help make sure your road bike riding is fun and safe.

Second, in today's sport motorcycles even the 600cc class is wickedly powerful and fast. It might be better to pick up a used general purpose type motorcycle to get some street miles on, both to have more experience, and so you have a better idea of what bike would suit your needs before you invest in a new one.

It's been a while since I've been up to speed on sport bikes, but the GSXR's were generally quite race track oriented and kind of peaky power band wise. The CBR's are also very fast, but to me seem a little more user friendly on the street.

If you want something sporty, but with ergos that would let you do some longer trips, you might look at the Interceptor 750.

 

The "crotch" part is missing, but the russians seem to give some rockets away

I have a 2006 honda cbr600rr very nice bike. But i would never buy a 600 super sport bike as my first. They are way to powerful for a first time rider. I think the new Kawasaki ninja 250 would be a perfect bike for a first time rider. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Articl...ArticleID=5920 That is a good review of the bike. And there are a lot of good forums out there for sport bikes http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/general-sportbikes/ after you read some of the troubles that people have gotten into with going to big with there first bikes I think you will see that starting off small is the best thing to do.
