Question on learning to wheelie?

if i were u, i'd do some research on how much a sport bike...even a 250 ninja will cost u being 18, and a rookie that doesnt have the endorsement. u'll be in for a surprize. u would be better off getting a used bike for almost cash instead of biting off a big high interest bank loan.

ATV help!!!?

A lot of people start on 250cc's. If you want to go that way, try a Suzuki Goose. It's a naked street bike that's got good power and sporty, but easy handling. You may want to try out a 400cc, it's just a little bigger, but you'll be able to keep it longer and not bore of it right away.

How can you lower the hight of a fazer 600?

I would suggest leaving the sport bikes alone until you have more experience. Any cruiser in the 250 to 450 cc range is a good starter bike. Buy a used bike and ride it for a year or two then sell it and upgrade to a sport bike, you will gain valuable riding experience and the bike will not depreciate at much as a new bike would.

For an 18 year old, you will definitely want to move quickly into a larger bike. The Ninja 250 isn't a wimp or anything...it's just a small bike.

Yamaha parts madness?


Remember the machine only does what you tell it to do, unless it breaks and the throttle or gear gets stuck etc. Many people blame things on the machine like saying motorcycles are dangerous but thats not generally true. You will have less protection around you as compared to driving a car where you are surrounded by a protective cage. You will also have to be on the ball as far as your surroundings go since you are more likely to get injured if anything hits you since mostly everything around you will be larger, cars, SUVs, semi-trucks etc. so ride defensively.

Where can i get the tool to remove the seaton an '02 gsxr 600?


I started off with two speed bikes 1) suzuki katana 600 2) suzuki TLR1000 3) honda nighthawk 250 talk about a serious performance downgrade! I honestly felt safer on the TLR1000 since there were two or three close calls that I was able to speed or brake out of, the nighthawk simply doesnt have the power to have gotten me out of those situations nor the braking power, but I take the side roads now that are not busy on my way to work.

2007 Kawasaki Z1000 question...?


AT 18 yrs your biggest hardship will probably be paying for insurance since its likely to be sky high. Please take the time to look into a motorcycle safety foundation (MSF) course near you unless you are lucky enough to have a course at your local high school? The class is definitely worth it. In some states all you need is a permit to ride and you will have to renew it every so often in some states the license is required, taking the MSF class and PASSING it sometimes exempts you from taking the state test so try that first.

Is there a school that teaches u to ride a moter motorcycle in Detroit ,Mi?

Here in PA they offer free motorcycle safety course and provide motorcycles for the course, They are 250's and most of them are Honda Shadows. These are good training cycles and are not very expensive. However, if this will be your first bike buy used and pay cash, get the experience of riding before moving up to bigger and more expensive bikes. I have had friends who bought big bikes like Goldwings and rode only a few times then selling them at a loss because they weren't ready for a big bike. Nothing wrong with starting small and working up to bigger later on. In fact the smaller bike will normally sell quicker when you are ready to move up, then use the money for your next bike.

Do i need a licence to ride mini bikes in Mass?

The Ninja 250 is certainly a great learner bike. There's only two other 250 cc sport bikes in the US market that I'd say are worth considering, the Honda VTR 250 (kind of hard to find as they haven't been sold here for over a decade) and the new Hyosung 250 Comet (not quite as proven, but sounds like it's going to do well). Hyosungs sometimes pop up under two other brand names, Alphasports or United Motors.

How many riders actually take yearly road trips?


If you're not specifically looking for a sport bike, any other 250 from a repuatable manufacturer in good condition can make a decent first bike if it fits you. Some that come to mind include the Yamaha Virago 250, Honda Rebel, and Honda Nighthawk 250. They aren't as fast as the Ninja 250. You'll want to make sure whatever bike you get fits you well. Any discomfort you feel sitting on one in the showroom will seriously hurt after an hour of riding.
