opinions....

[CaMaRoTrIsH]

so in the spring i am getting a bike (from the money i got for the stupid lemon iroc i bought)...just trying to get some opinions since most of you have bikes on here.....
just some general opinions on bikes i should look at, and why i should (seat height, acceleration, handling...ect) right now im pretty much set on an r6 but havnt looked into other bikes much...will be my first bike so i dont want anything bigger than a 600ish...thanks guys...oh ya and im not getting a brand new one, but a used one.

[Turbo6guy]

Even though you have your sights set on an R6, probably be better to start off on one of those Ninja 250's or a Honda Rebel. I know, I know, you dont want to be seen on one of those...but, until you have the fundamentals down and are comfortable in traffic situations. You're better off starting on something like that.

[HorsePwrAddict]

:stupid:

i was perfectly happy on a 400 for 2 years before i started wanting more power, but i know you wont be having that, soooo i would recomend an older Honda F4i or even an F3 or something, awesome bikes and still fast enough to keep your 100 pound body happy. Should be able to pick one up cheap to. If your going to buy one and your serious, start looking now. You'll get a better price now than in the spring

[Mystic1199]

go with a gsxr 1000 perfect bike for you ...after riding a 600 for 2 hours you will be bored so might as well skip that step and just go with the 1000

[CaMaRoTrIsH]

thanks for the opinions...

mystic...i dont really want to start with a 1000 cause i dont trust myself with too much power until im fully comfortable on two wheels( i tend to overdo it sometimes)

and id love to pick one up now, been looking down here at a few places but its kinda hard while im still at school (no logical way to get it back to mass after school) so im probably going to wait until april when i get home, which does suck becuase prices are going to go way the fuck up

Sorry everyone isnt as skilled as you.

Hey Trish, how much experience do you have? 4 wheelers, dirtbikes?

[Ibuildmyown]

Trish start small my friend is 5'3" 110lbs she started on a ninja 250 that her brother learned on. She rode that for a year now she rides a F4I 600 which had to be lowered 2 inches so she could touch with more then just here tip toes. She can just ride her brothers R1 now and its been 3 years. She can also wheelie the hell out of the F4I. You can also ask Tina shes ridden up to Laconia 2 years with us. Perfect first bike can be had for short money and they hold the resale value pretty good as long as you keep it clean. My buddy just picked an 03 ninja 250 up for under 2000 grand for his girlfriend.

good on quads, havnt had too much time on dirtbikes but i have riden one before (a yellow 125...kawasaki maybe ??)... my dad let me try riding his 1200 sportster he used to have a few times but i coudlnt get past jsut letting the clutch out on it...i was too scared to shift...

so... i think ill look into what the rest of you said and look into some smaller bikes...ill let ya guys know..thanks again!

[Remi's88cutlass]

the bikes only as crazy as u are. if u had ur hearts set on a r6 do it up. u really gotta sit on them to get comfortable. thats all that matters when riding, the rest u get used to. if uthink ur gunna grow on a 600 do a gdxr 750.. u'll have room to grown and plenty of power. u just gotta have self control. dont get the prettiest one. but look around.

[H3llphyre]

the bikes only as crazy as u are.

This is completely untrue. Its a lot easier to learn on a bike with LESS power, then it is to hop on a busa for the first time, and try to drive it. Higher power bikes are more dangerous for a new rider. Don't believe me? Try riding a 500cc dirtbike without ever having ridden a dirtbike before. Chances are, you'll end up on your ass.

[briggzy]

dont waste your time with anything lower than a 600cc bike. get the bike that you really want in the first place. if you got in a 10 sec street car with minimal experiance would you kill yourself? no because you wouldnt open it up all the way right away(if your smart). buying a ninja 250 is like buyin a civic when you want a c6 z06. i love my 600, yes i wish i had more power sometimes but not often enough where i have to have a 1000.

so now that thats out then i'd agree w/ spence or ian on the f4i or sv650. go sit on the bikes that your interested on and see how they feel and make your decision after you sit on them all. all the 600s are close to the same power so its really just personal preferance of how the bike sits and how it handles on the road.

What the hell is wrong with you guys? What happens the first time she freaks out (if she does) when something happens (and it could) and she grabs a fist full of throttle(inadvertantly)...easier to control a bike w/250cc's than a friggin crotch rocket? Especially when she just told you she was afraid to let the clutch out on a Sportster. You buy the small bike, get used to it. Ride it in traffic, get comfortable actually riding a motorcycle and then upgrade to what you really want.

Dude, she's a 100lbs (wet) female with NO experience riding a bike, at all. If you had NEVER driven a car before, would you get behind the wheel of a 10 second car? No. Bad analogy.

A small bike is CHEAP. You can probably get one for under $2000 and sell it when you're done with it, for the price you paid. Then, go buy a nice bike. Otherwise, she's either going to kill herself or fuck up a nice bike.

[igotasweetride]

this is all the same shit i heard when i bought my 600rr as a first bike. everyone said i'd kill myself cause it was too much power. the power never did a damn bit of harm. lack of experience did. IMO get an F4i. they have a good amount of power, good resale and the plastics are easy to come by when you dump it (you will, it just comes with the territory. it might be as simple as it tipping over in a driveway on a windy day or you hitting a bit of sand at 20mph). the bike is only as fast as you want it to be. the real question is, how much can you afford on a bike? any of the 600s are good enough, it really comes down to taste. you will never notice the difference between a 600rr, r6 or 636. the only place you'll notice it is on a track or street racing, in which you'll have to be really good at launching to notice the better low end of the 636, other then that, you won't notice. FYI, if you have ANY back problems, you'll need to raise the bars up with a space to make it a little better on most sport bikes. also, not sure how tall you are, but i know you're not 5'10" so most bikes you're going to need to lower to be comfortable.

so just get what you think looks bad ass and have some fun. the bike truely is only as fast as you want it to be. a newer 600 can scare the piss out of you no problem, just don't be dumb and you'll be fine.

Again I say what is wrong with you...its not about the power diff. between an f4, 600rr or an r6. Its about an inexperienced female(and I'm not being sexist) that is not built like a brick shit house that will know what to do or be able to handle it if something goes wrong while she is LEARNING to ride. Why is that so hard to comprehend.
Hey Hellphyre, usually I like to argue with you but can you explain it in a way that I didnt? Or is it pretty cut and dried as I explained??

i have always and will always say the same thing, everyone should take the 2 or 3 day riders course. that will give you a lot of learning experience. after that, anyone with common sense will be fine. it is VERY hard to get yourself into trouble on a bike as long as you have common sense and don't put yourself into bad situations. if someone does put themself in a bad situation and something happens, its either a tough learning experience or natural selection.

I def agree about the riders safety course. But if you have spent any time on a bike you know that even if you're not fucking around, some asshole in a car can put you in a bad situation very quickly...

:stupid:
I agree with you and pretty much said the same thing. I have met Trish and have a friend that is more like a little sister that is the same biuld. She had experience riding dirtbikes because she used to ride with her brother and me growing up. She still started on a 250 same bike that her brother had even tho he had 10 years of dirtbike riding. She rode that for a year and then moved to an F4I. It has nothing to do with the power but more the feel for riding and learning what to do in certain situations. Doing so on a bike that is lighter and has less power is a lot eaiser. Also a bike that you can touch on with both feet flat and not just your tip toes. I also agree that the riding course is some of the best money you can spend if you have no riding experience. They use a rebel 250 for the 3 days .

[igotasweetride]

oh, this is VERY true. i dumped at about 35-40mph when i was on a two lane road, i was in the right lane going through a set of lights and a lady went around me, cut into my lane and locked on her brakes to get coffee. i locked on my brakes and hit a huge pot hole flipping the bike over. she took off out the other side of the parking lot. BUT i have never been in a situation where common sense didn't give me the best way out. a bigger bike is heavier and has more power. but they also usually have better brakes and very good balance. tell me once when you accidentally went WOT cause someone cut you off. IMO between the resale and the fact you won't have to upgrade for a couple years is worth getting a 600 to start with. even if she is small and its harder for her to control then a 250, i think its still her best option IMO.

FYI, they make lowering kits for almost every newer bike. it will effect its handling, but if you're not a track person its not a big deal.

[Mystic1199]

who cares , she proably wont get a bike anyways its just all talk .

[Ibuildmyown]

FYI I know. Hers is already lowered 2 inches and we were talking about doing an extended arm but now that she can stand it up I think thats gone to the way side.

[Badassbabe98]

Trish, I would start with something like a 250 and work your way up. You can always trade it up towards something bigger if you buy it new. but if you really feel that you want a 600 to start out on, I know a girl who is selling an older one for I think like $1,500. It would be a perfect starter bike...I was actually going to buy it for myself but we ended up picking up another one same yr same size for 100 bucks from some dumb kid that thought it needed a starter when all it needed was rewiring of some corroded wires LOL....

[1962CDV]

trish take the rider's education course. it's worth it. seriously.

[CaMaRoTrIsH]

well thanks for all the input guys...after doing some research and shit im going out next weekend to sit on some bikes and most likely set up plans to pick something up, decided to go with a 600ish bike, easier to learn on that and be happy with it then learn on something small and then get something bigger and re-learn with more power, i learned how to drive manual for the first time on my ls1 so i starteed big with that and did ok, know its not the same shit but still you get what im saying, ill let yall know what i do in a week or two...thanks again....

[Mike S]

This is completely untrue. Its a lot easier to learn on a bike with LESS power, then it is to hop on a busa for the first time, and try to drive it. Higher power bikes are more dangerous for a new rider. Don't believe me? Try riding a 500cc dirtbike without ever having ridden a dirtbike before. Chances are, you'll end up on your ass.I just so happen to have said 500cc dirtbike to watch it happen on?

[H3llphyre]

Honestly, yeah. Its pretty impossible to stall, tons of gears to go through before you get going fast, dont have to downshift as much because of a shitlaod of torque, and you can totally mis-shift and skip gears and it will still go down the road and not get too too mad.

But I agree with the SV-650 or the F4i....... anything less, might as well get a harley

CR125
CR250
KTM300EXC
Warrior
Banshee
Quadzilla 500
NInja 600

Road King
Full Dresser
R1
Bussa
GSXR 600, 750
Ninja 636

Like Jay I dont have anything right now do to other reasons. When I do buy one maybe this summer it will be a Harley they are just more comfortable for me. If I were to by a street bike I would be very happy with the power of a 750 but would by an R1 due to the fact that I'm 6'4" they are the most comfortable because the bike has the most seat to peg leg room.

[540Malibu]

You're right. I was riding bikes before you were born. Just because I don't have one now, doesn't mean I haven't.

you havent had one since ive known you, which means you have no idea between the riding differences of a modern 600 to a late 80's vespa

i still stand w/ the 600 or better for the first bike but im not gonna argue about it cuz she's already said she's gonna get one soo all this argueing is just a way for jay to fill up his day at work :whip:

No, its actually a means of making sure she doesn't kill herself. Maybe I should be on your side of the argument though. Making suggestions is all about context of the situation. No bike experience, being small and light, and a first item... it doesn't make sense what you guys say, but whatever. To each their own.

comparing a new 600 to an old bike its night and day. i took my friends late 80s, early 90s (89-91ish) GSXR 1k out a while back. that thing was a bitch to ride. it SUCKED. it didn't corner, brake or accelerate for shit. it was just old. newer bikes are a LOT easier to handle and learn on because they're so well balanced. they may be faster, but if thats the root of the accident, then we can blame that on darwin, not on the bike. my bike corners and brakes WAY better then a cheap 250 "learning" bike. which is whats most important. yes, its faster, but only if you get on the throttle. as long as she takes the rider course, she'll be fine.

Its more of the fact that she's going to have to dump money into the bike immediately for it to be ridable. She's what? 5'1" or so? That means the bike needs to be lower, especially as a learner bike. I rode dirtbikes for a long time, and if I had to learn on a 500, even being over 6', being on the tips of your toes sucks.

The thing is, for $1200 you can get a 250, just to learn on. You beat on it for a few months, get comfy riding, then sell it for exactly what you paid, take that cash, and throw it down on a 600 or a 750, or even bigger. Why make life more difficult then it has to be.

You're right Bry. Riding an 89 is making balloon animals and riding an 06 is playing the piano. They have absolutely nothing in common with eachother at all, cuz every single bike out there is a completely brand new experience.

My point is, there are BASICS to learning to ride a bike, that you just learn, regardless of what you're riding. Like putting your feet down when you come to a stop... you know, the simple things. Learning these things the hard way on a POS cheap smaller bike, is the RIGHT way to do it. But, whatever. I guess you guys can continue to talk about retarded shit, like how the motor in a bike makes some huge difference that isn't even remotely like riding a motorcycle at all.

a quad is the same as riding a sport bike???? quads and dirt bikes don't count for shit, thats like comparing driving a baha truck and a C6R vette

Don't count for shit interesting so the clutch and brakes on a quad and dirt bike don't work the same as a street bike interesting. Without my past riding experience i wouldn't even think about jumping on the a 750 let alone a Bussa. Granted handling is totally different and rider position is different. But the basics ah screw it see statement below

My point is, there are BASICS to learning to ride a bike, that you just learn, regardless of what you're riding. Like putting your feet down when you come to a stop... you know, the simple things. Learning these things the hard way on a POS cheap smaller bike, is the RIGHT way to do it.

Couldn't of said it better myself

$10 says this bitch buys somethin' like a 600 .. lets it rip through a couple gears .. then hammers the brakes and sling shots her feeble ass through someone's windshield ..

.. or the bike falls on her like that fuckin' house from wizard of oz and she withers and dies and I piss on her dead corpse

Wow.. I didn't see it like that... but the possibility is there!! :worry:

Good opinions and a lot of factual experience in this thread that's for sure.. Trish read again what a lot of these guys are saying from both sides and make your better judgement on what you come up with. It's a tough call in some cases.

I personally started off on an '85 Honda 700 which was a decent learners bike and nothing more (heavy, not really fast and had shitty shitty brakes), at the time I wished I had purchased newer. I rode that for about a season and a half before buying a '95 CBR900 which I rode for a few years. In the meantime I bought an '01 RC51 (best bike I have ridden yet) then sold the CBR900! Nowadays I am on a GSXR750 which is a decent bike, not the most comfortable thing but it gets the job done!

Whatever you decide, stay focused, stay alert, be safe and wear leather gloves and jacket whenever you can!!!

leather gloves are overrated .. shorts and a t-shirt is the way i ride dirty

Fuck, who cares about the seat, I ride that hit on the handle bars.

[Speedy0009]

leather gloves are overrated .. shorts and a t-shirt is the way i ride dirty


I used to, all the time.... Until the day I decided to wear my leather in the 80 degree weather while my friends wore t-shirts... Thank goodness because that was the day I low-sided my RC51 at about 60mph in an S-turn... not a single scratch other than a tiny nick on my ankle due to having sneakers and short socks on, when tumbling yard after yard in the dirt, gravel and pavement!
Since then.. I rarely leave without my leather and gloves! Unless I know for certain, I am just making a slow careful commute!

In fact.. I have a wheelie video clip with just shorts and a t-shirt on that same bike a couple weeks prior to the accident! Go figure!

[Speedy0009]

Fuck, who cares about the seat, I ride that shit on the handle bars.


That can be pretty fun too..... depending on the bike!!!

I'm glad I can't afford a bike. I'm so clumsy that I know I would dump it eventually. Me on a bike is an accident waiting to happen

It's almost inevitable Bryan... evenutally almost every rider takes some sort of dig or fall...

Some people give up riding before it happens, some give it up afterwards and some continue to face the risk of it all regardless!!!!

[CaMaRoTrIsH]

comparing a new 600 to an old bike its night and day. i took my friends late 80s, early 90s (89-91ish) GSXR 1k out a while back. that thing was a bitch to ride. it SUCKED. it didn't corner, brake or accelerate for shit. it was just old. newer bikes are a LOT easier to handle and learn on because they're so well balanced. they may be faster, but if thats the root of the accident, then we can blame that on darwin, not on the bike. my bike corners and brakes WAY better then a cheap 250 "learning" bike. which is whats most important. yes, its faster, but only if you get on the throttle. as long as she takes the rider course, she'll be fine.


havnt read the rest of the mumbo jumbo yet, but so far this sounds pretty damn 'smart'....whats the point of learning on a pos 250 or whatever, then trying to get on a normal*600ish+* bike and trying to ride that? and i would hate to learn on something small and then be dissapointed a week later and be 'stuck' with a pos until i can get more money to buy something better... id much rather buy something i can be happy with for at least 2 seasons

[CaMaRoTrIsH]

lets just end this thread and let it die because she wont be buying a bike if she does shll scare the shit out of her self and sell it ...

The point is that learning on a smaller/lighter bike is the way to go. What you said about "why would I learn on a 250 and then get on a 600 and learn to ride that" That is where you are wrong. The fundamentals of riding a motorcycle are the same, 'Busa or Rebel, fundamentals are the same. Power difference, yes. Handling difference, yes. Fundamentals of being in traffic on a bike, you being comfortable and feeling that you are in control of that bike and being confident that you can handle any situation that happens...that is the difference. Why dont you learn how to ride first, and I mean ride, not drive. And you guys saying "you control how fast you go" "you dont have to ride it fast" You're idiots. She needs to be on something that she can concentrate on riding and not worry about how hard she twists her wrist. Put a 100lb female with no experience on a sport bike and she will get hurt. Its not a question of if, it is a question of when. I think a couple of you are hoping that happens, but...Stop givin her advice like she is one of your buddies that weighs a buck 80 and give her some advice that will make her a better rider.

no but it teaches you the basics...if you look on the site they say that 90% of motorcyle accidents are by people that taught themselves or were taught by a friend...i think it sounds like a great idea and i know people that have taken it before, id rather get some ideas on how to brake, steer, and accelerate correctly from someone thats been teaching it for years, then by one of my friends thats going to try to just teach me how to go fast and shit.

I meant about what bikes they teach on. I think the training course is an excellent idea. Learning in a controlled environment by people who are supposedly certified to teach.

Honestly, I never found motorcycles to be difficult. It was close enough to riding a bicycle for me, for it not to be foreign. But, then again, I learned to ride extremely young. Its been quite a few years since I've been on a bike for real, so it would probably take me a lil bit before I was comfy again, but I think I'd even take the course at this point.

Who knows, if I can ever convince myself to get back on a bike, I'll buy one. I just almost killed myself entirely too many times being a retard to justify getting back on one.

[Turbo6guy]

There wasnt a question about the course. Everyone agrees on that. Its about the size of the bike AFTER you take the course. Cuz, the course is a controlled environment. The streets are not. AND just cuz you take the course doesnt mean you will like the street. Perfect example is my dads girlfriend. She decided she wanted to try it. Took the course, got her license, bought a Rebel, rode around parking lots, did fine. Then she went out on the roads. She didnt like it. Couldnt get comfortable. Decided to just ride on the back of my dads. Then she sold the Rebel. The point is, just taking he course doesnt make you a rider.

[CaMaRoTrIsH]

ive been riding on the back of my dads for a good couple of years now, its time for me to get my own bike, which ive wanted for more years than he's even had one.

im taking the course...which will give me my liscence
getting a bike
and riding it


end discussion.

Thanks for the input guys...even though most of it was bashign and that i should get a small bike, when i asked what types of bikes where shorter/handles better...but whatever

[72HeavyChevy]

hey Trish, good luck with the coarse, hope everything works out for ya. It seems like you pretty much have your mind made up on getting a nice sport bike, so I'm not gonna try to argue it with you...good luck and ride safe!

you don;'t have to worry about how much you twist the throttle on a 600. theres no low end haha. i need to get up to about 6k before my bike makes any power. and i still haven't heard you or jay tell me one thing that is harder or more dangerous to learn on a 600 then a 250. jay's "putting your feet down" is the dumbest shit ever. i have NEVER seen a beginner who took the course forget. i have seen one person who decided to just buy a bike and teach himself do it. that was pretty funny. i honestly thing its in her best interest to learn on a 600. they're close to the same weight, easier to handle, better braking and better resale. the only down side is when she dumps it. which is why id suggest and F4i because parts are dirt cheap and easy to get off ebay from parted bikes.

[briggzy]

i love the people that come in here..dont own a bike..only ridden thier buddy's street bike and are telling all the other people that actually own one and ride all the time that they are wrong and dumb. hahahaha this thread is so rediculous

turbo6 and jay, i do agree that it is easier to learn the basics and get the feel of being in between cars and actually just riding on a smaller bike, however i picked that up on the first day of having the bike so ya a 250 woulda been sweet for like a hour maybe. why would she go out and waste 3k on a new ninja 250 and then in a week hate it and want somehting else. then have to take the hit on it and go buy a bigger bike within a month of gettin the bike in the first place.

trish it looks like your doing the right thing, look forward to seein ya out on some rides in the spring. i know a bunch of girls w/ bikes too so when i get rides together you will have some girls to ride w/

Hey, go back through all I said and show me where I suggested buying a new 250. Never said that. You dont fucking read. She could pick up A Rebel for 1500 bucks. Did I say whether or not I have a bike? No. You just assume that. I'll also say that for YOU the 250 may have bored you, thats fucking great. You're the man. She is just starting out. She said it herself she was afraid to let the clutch out on her dads bike. Not everyone picks it up the same. But good luck Trish, hope it works out for ya.

so, do any of you guys have any reccomendations for any stores that would carry a good selection of used bikes?

Some good points are made here that a lot of people miss or forget about.... (sprocket change to reduce torque for a beginner). A lighter bike Trish would be a wise thing...much easier to manuver at slow speeds as said above (newer 600s are in the 335-375lbs range pretty much regardless).... Good luck on your decision!!

Its true they are only as fast as you want them to be, however an r1 might be a little to hevy for her, an R6 will deffinatly be more nimble, + you have to think she's going to probably have to lower it... Also, I'd stay away from anything not fuel injected...

[CaMaRoTrIsH]

well i got an r6..kinda... my friend is letting me 'rent' his for the two months i am going to be home, i dont want to buy one and then have to move it. im getting one as soon as i get south, prices are waaay cheaper down there. ima lucky sumamabitch
