1st bike...beginner..no sport bike for at least 1 or 2 full season. they're designed to respond to rider inputs instantly, and that includes inputs that will cause a crash. gxsr's are a death sentence for rookies. 600cc's are deceptively powerful on sport bikes. sport bikes are worthless on trips over 150 miles in 1 sitting comfort wise.Can a front master cylinder from a GSXR1000 fit a GSXR750?
cruisers are alot more forgiving, not quite as powerful as the sport bikes, giving u time to think about what ur gonna do before u wind up havin the bike run away from u. they're built for long rides, some handle better in the twisties than other. they're heavier and will absorb the bumps alot better than the kidneys will. sport bikes have a much stiffer suspension than cruisers, and that affects how the ride feels; when u hit a big enough bump on a sport bike, its harsh.
I would go with a smaller bike
If you are like me, of course you want a sport bike
I would love to get a gsxr 600
Engine and Frame Number Are Different?
I think you should first decide on a cruiser or a sport bike then go from thereAnyone have disc locks for their motorcycle?
check out a Suzuki gs500 or a Kawasaki ex500. I started on a Yamaha fzr600 and a lot of people will tell you that is too much bike. I think it was ok, you just have to respect it (as you do every motorcycle!). If you are looking for a cruiser then you have a couple of options because they are generally less powerful, but I don't know cruisers as well so I don't want to give you a bad recommendation.I have a 2005 fashion 250 motorscooter by cfmot. can anyone tell me how to find a waterpump.?
I'd recommend taking riding lessons, if you haven't already. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation is the largest provider of those in the United States, but there are several others. The office that issues drivers' licenses in your state will have a list of approved riding lessons.Scooter or Vespa laws in California?
Motorcycles come in several types. The ones people see most often are cruisers and sport bikes, but there are also standards (somewhat in between a cruiser and a sport bike - imagine a sport bike minus most of its bodywork, and with a more relaxed riding position), touring bikes (like the Goldwing), and dual sports (sort of like big street legal dirt bikes). There are possible choices in all these categories, although touring bikes small enough for a beginner to manage are very rare. Each style of bike has a different riding position and look.
Better bike? harley 883R, 883L or buell blast?
Now, I've got a couple of rules for what makes a good first bike.
1. It's forgiving and predictable to ride. In particular, you'll want to keep it under 50 hp. Brakes that lock too easily aren't good either, but as a general rule, bikes under 50 hp don't come with these.
2. It needs to be light enough that you can pick it up easily if it falls over. Where to draw the line is up to you, but a 500 lb bike is going to feel rather heavy and you'll probably want some experience before riding a 600 lb one.

3. You should be able to put both feet flat on the ground when sitting in the saddle.
What would be the best dirt bike for me, im 16 years old i got alot of land and love going fast.?
4. It needs to be a bike that fits you. Do you feel comfortable with your feet on the pegs and your hands on the grips? Remember, any discomfort you feel in sitting on it for five minutes in a showroom is going to hurt pretty bad after an hour of riding. Does it look right for you?
CAN or SHOULD I ride a motorcycle?
5. Most of the well known bike manufacturers - the Japanese ones, Harley / Buell, and BMW, for example - make good quality bikes. The only brands I'm leary of are the Communist Chinese bikes - there may be some quality ones out there, but there's a lot of them that I've heard horror stories about.
What is the minimum width of a wheel needed for a 200mm tire to be mounted on it.?
There's quite a few good choices for a first bike. I ride a Suzuki GS500F and I'd say it's a good choice for a rider who is looking for a sport bike. Others may not find the sport bike riding position comfortable or want more chrome. I'm sure you can find a bike that's right for you and meets the above list with a little searching.
How do i change the oil on a YZF 250?
That depends... are you into cruisers or sport bikes?Aren't most men who ride Harleys just insecure little boys trying to prop up their manhood?
If you want a sport bike, take a look at the Honda CBR F4i... it looks pretty good, is powerful enough for you to enjoy yourself, but still pretty tame compared to other bikes. But any 600cc should be fine... whatever you do, absolutely dont get anything above 600cc for your first bike
Can anybody help me chose my first motorcycle??
Nothing to larey. something that's not going to overpower you,its easy to get carried away, a Suzuki Bandit as a first Big bike is more than enough, and then go on a course ..trust me.I have a 49.7cc scooter,putperformancecdi unit on, does this mean i have to run a hotter plug?
Ninja 500 is a good starter bike, not too big, not too fast, but fast enough to have some fun with ... good luck and be safeDoes anybody have idea about Honda unicorn upgrade and when is it expected?
If you would like a cruiser,check out the Yamaha vstar's. Great for beginners and at a decent price!Dealer of honda vtwin performance parts?
I wouldn't advise anyone to learn on a sport bike or cruiser because of the seating position. The sport bike is going to lean you forward too much which is great for racing but not so great for learning. The cruiser is going to sit you back too far which is comfortable but again not the best choice for a beginner. What you should go for is a standard type bike that gives you more of a straight up seating position. Also stay away from 4 cylinder bikes. They will tend to have too much power and twins are so much easier to learn on because of their low end power. Here are some great choices (in my opinion). Note that some of these bikes may be listed under Sport Bikes on their respective websites, but these are bikes with a less drastic seating position. Suzuki SV650, Katana 600 and GS500, Honda Night Hawk 250, Kawasaki Ninja 250 or 500. The Buell Blast is also a good beginners bike but I don't know much about the reliability. If you think you want something a little faster look at the Yamaha FZ6 or the Honda 599. Hope this helps and good luck.More Questions & Answers ...
