Opinion on Bikes

You could probably get an older carbed 600 for less than a newer 250. I started on an '88 Ninja 600 and loved it for a first street bike. Insurance would be alot cheaper on a 250 though, especially if you're younger.

What is your budget?

[nonamekid]

Skip the 250 and get a 500, or an older 600. My first bike was/is a 2003 yzf600R, which I think is just perfect for me. Not too much power but enough to still have some fun and it handles great.

you dont learn by riding a slower bike you learn from not being a moron.

take me for example, first time ever riding i rode a gixxer 600 around my moms old complex. thought i was invisible, and layed it down pulling out onto the main road.

next summer, on a different gixxer 600. i wasnt paying attention on 45th, car cut me off and i locked up both wheels and layed it down. my fault. after learning i havent had a single issue since, and ive ridden a few different bikes in all categories.

a slower bike isnt going to teach you how to ride. if you not cofortable on a bike, then dont get one. if you want to start slow, get a pedal bike.

I'd love to be invisible. That is a rare talent.

if you love english lol its my worst subject so if you want to correct some just look up all the treads i have posted in lol...

Get a 600 you will get bored of a tiny 250

[Bassplayer]

I'd say either start on an older 600 or even an SV650. You'll get waaaay to bored with a 250. Buy what you can afford now and just don't be a dumbass on it and you'll be fine.

I wasn't talking about your spelling, I was talking about how sweet it would be to be invisible like Zac said. :icon_rabbit::icon_rabbit:

My budget is up to 4K, seeing as thats how much a new 250R is, I want a bike this summer so I can get into it early and be comfortable with them.

[wishinsky]

You can get plenty for $4k. I'd suggest a Suzuki SV650. It's light, easy to ride, inexpensive, easy to modify, and they look pretty damn sweet. Plus the sound of a twin is awesome!

Im supised you will have all this extra money left over after boosting your car, since you have promised that would be done for the last 2 summers....

I know:icon_shaking:...didnt have my construction job last summer..just scored it last summer at the end..good pay.

[ihaveaids]

Get the 250. Get your feet wet. Zac has a point, but the 250 will be far more forgiving in the two situations where he laid down the bikes.

[BlackEJ8]

My vote is for the sv650, pretty good starter bike, comfortable, looks waayy better than the 250, and its enough bike that you wont want to sell it next summer......oh and it doesnt sound like a lawnmower like the 250.

[gsrEK]

i got a 01 cbr 600 f4i for sale 4k

[Bassplayer]

Wooo SV650 FTW!! the only bad about the SV is that its torque as fuck. The bike is pretty retarded at picking up the front end at almost any speed. Once again get whatever you want, just don't be a stupid fuck on it.

Edit: On a side note my SV might be for sale this coming the spring, mint condish.............

[ihaveaids]

Not for 4k I hope Jon...
