What would be a good first bike to practice on if my goal is to ride a sportbike?

Question:
Hey Everyone,

What is the best girls off road helmet?


I was wondering what would be a good first bike to start on if my goal is to develop the experience and confidence in controlling a sportbike. I dream of owning an R1 one day, but understand I need to start off slow. Are there any bikes that are good for beginners and is still sporty?

If I have a bike that is 110cc, is that legal if you are under 16?

Yes, there's some good first sport bikes. I'm glad to see you are chosing to start with one that's good for learning and work your way up as your skills improve. I'd also highly recommend taking riding lessons, such as those from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation.

Is there a website that lists motorcycles Horsepower?


My rule of thumb is to look for one from a reputable manufacturer with under 50 hp. There are four good choices in the US market right now: The Kawasaki Ninja 250 and 500, the Suzuki GS500F, and the Buell Blast. The Hyosung Comet 250 is not quite as proven, but sounds like it should be pretty decent too. Sit on these and see which ones you find comfortable.

How do I flush the brake fluid on a gsxr 750?

If you are not overweight, then I'd suggest starting on a Kawi Ninja 250. These are relatively inexpensive, easy to work on, and very forgiving for novice riders. Used ones seem to retain their value pretty well too...so when you're ready for the R1, you can get some money out of the little Ninja.

Thinking of getting a ducati monster 620i?

i started on a kawasaki ninja 250, which is extremely light and low to the ground and a little small... but that is most likely TOO small for you since you are a dude! maybe a sv 650? This is what i did: buy a cheap xr100 (dirt bike) or something to learn clutch, brakes, steering, feel of being on a bike in general. Then I moved on to what seemed like a huge sportbike compared to the itty bitty dirt bike i had learned on! But i got on my bike the first time, and had no problem being confident enough to go up to 2nd gear once my boyfriend made me lift up my feet 10 minutes into it! I learned that it is MUCH easier to balance any bike at a faster speed.

Im looking at getting another bike. FINALLY. Which 600 would be better. Keen on the ZX6R, CBR600R or the R6.?

Whatever you can find for cheap. Motorcycle skills are universal-whatever you learn on a cruiser/db you can take directly to a sportbike.

Where can I find a set of clutch plates for a 1958 Harley-Davidson Panhead?

A 400 sports, zxr, cbr, vfr or a gsxr if you can find one.

Motorcycle Clubs?


Or a 600 sports tourer like a zzr600, thundercat ect which are still very fast but have a less extreme riding position and more forgiving handling.

Where do I get Freedom 644 scooter parts? Does the manufacturer have a website?

A honda 599, Yamaha FZ6, or Suzuki sv650 are all good beginner sport bikes.

Brake bleading (suzuki ap)?

I would start on a enduro in the fields or back roads where you don't have to deal with other people driving driving with heavy metal.

Whats it worth honda hornet 600?

I think any 250cc dirt bike would be a great way to go. You would learn a lot of skills in the dirt and you wouldn't have to deal with traffic issues until you had some experience under your belt. You can work on speed and control and everything you need to know before you get out on the road.
I started in the dirt and it has saved me sooo many times.
P.S. this is my 39th year riding

Can someone help me bleed my brakes?
