What is a good super-sport bike for a beginner?

Question:
I am in love with the super sport bikes. I love the CBR-RR's like the 600 and 1000, and the RC-51, and Yamaha R1. I have driven my cousin's dirtbike so in a way I do have some experience. What do you suggest. I am a quick learner and already know how to change gears.

Answers:

Need opinions on Suzuki Bandit 600, Unfaired!?

Just find a CHEAP bike to start out on. That way you can get past the scratch and dent phase of the learning process without to much in the way of $$$$$$. Then get your dream bike, usually after about two years of riding.

K, let's try this again!?

A 600 would be a good bike to learn on, but do you really want to risk dropping a newer expensive bike? Try finding a used Kawasaki Ninja 250. You can usually pick one up for a little over a grand. After you get some experience on the seat you can all ways upgrade, and if you drop it your not loosing your azz in two ways.

Sounds like you're ready to die. Start with something smaller, easier to handle on the road to build your experience. Do you have your license for the road? You really need to take the Motorcycle Safety Course, teaches you how to ride, helps reduce the insurance costs, and the offices use it as the road test for your license

Let me repeat that: THERE ISN'T A GOOD BEGINNER SUPERSPORT MOTORCYCLE!

Motorcycle does not start?

You drove a dirtbike and can change gears, but that is only a FRACTION of what you need to know to ride a supersport bike. Being a quick learner DOES NOT give you automatic "permission" to play Zip 'n Splat on the streets, Junior. ANYONE that thinks they are the exception because they "learn fast" is in for a rude awakening. For every person that says they did fine on a superbike, ask yourself why don't you hear from those that DIDN'T (and trust me, there are a LOT more of them).

when riding my scooter, upon reaching a certain speed it screeches loudly, any ideas? it's virtually new!!

You learn quick? Then you should get a PERFECT SCORE on your MSF written AND practical tests when you take the class. You should also know that full gear is going to run you around $500 to $1000 on top of the cost of the bike. Without full gear, you're just another squid looking for Butt Jewelry.

can you tell the age or year of my yamaha blaster the tank and seat are a light green colour ?

Your choice of bikes, while beautiful, are COMPLETELY impractical for a newbie. You can shift gears, but can you handle a tankslapper? Can you make slow turns with the handlebars at full lock? Can you speed shift? Can you drag a knee? Can you handle a bike trying to swap ends under hard braking? Can you turn, or is twisting the throttle the only trick in your book?

Beetle Bags?

What do you do when a patch of gravel appears halfway around a blind corner? How do you handle rain and high winds? Can you ride a sportbike when it's snowing? Do you understand that you are completely invisible to everyone else on the road?

Until you have MASTERED dealing with all of the above and then some, you are NOT ready for a superbike, period.

But you don't have to listen to me. Just mentally file this answer away, and when the day comes that you are 0.2 seconds away from a 100mph impact because you didn't know what you were doing, spend that time remembering that I Told You So.

Go bikernoj you gave him twice the lecture I was going to. I have had three close friends and my father all die on bikes, and they were all VERY experienced riders. these young kids these days don't have a clue. I still ride, but I have 300,000+ miles under my belt and I save the "joe racer syndrome" for the track.

Why would a motorcycle make a ticking nose?

I agree with other posters on this one, you've got pretty bad taste in bikes. You only like the one's that are sure to get you killed.
Oh, so you've ridden your cousins 20 horsepower dirtbike?? Whoopee! And you know how to change gears too?? Fascinating.
Seriously, the bikes you describe above have 90+ horsepower available at the flick of the wrist. That's nothing to mess around with. That, my boy...will get you killed.

I don't care how quickly you can learn something - a super-sport is not a bike for a beginner.

Scooter: YAMAHA Vino Classic?

Try a 250 or 500 Ninja first - if you like it, and don't wreck it for a few months, then maybe you're good enough to graduate to a ZX-6RR or something like that.

I also suggest getting something older - that way, when you lay it down, you're not as pissed off and out of money as you would be if you laid down a brand new CBR.

How much do street sportbike tires cost?

Think about this - it's not like riding a bike - ya know! It's not like you fall off and get right back on - if you fall off an SS bike, it may be the last time you fall off of anything. You may also think you know how to ride, but SS bikes are very "touchy" - hair-triggers, if you will. Ride one, and you'll know.

I ride a Ninja 650R, and I wouldn't dream of getting on a GSX-R or a CBR 1000 yet. I've been riding steadily, and some distances for more than a year.

which is the best oil to use in my yamaha tdm 850. full or semi synthetic?

I suggest that you think carefully about what you're doing, get some advice from someone who's over the age of 21 - someone who's been riding for a while, and get GEAR! Helmet, jacket, boots, gloves, etc.

Ricky Carmichael?

Be careful - especially on an SS - or you could quickly become a stain on the road.
