a 600 is best for a begginer but if you want the 1000 you would be fine too because you will get scared before you get stupid you will learn to respect either bike and its not if you crash its when hopefully it happens at slower speeds spend money on riding gear good helmet jacket pants and gloves be prepairedYamaha Virago 700 wiring diagram?
Something around a 250 street bike.I am interested in gettin a new bike?
I've been riding bikes for just over 35 years and I believe that both are too big. Try something around 250 to 500cc, Depending on your weight and size. As you learn how motorcycles work under different conditions you can always move up. The biggest mistake I've seen in the past is someone starting on too much bike. Kawasaki makes a 250 street machine that is the perfect starter bike, big and powerful enough for the freeway but small enough for the beginner. It looks great and you can pick one up for under $3200.Can you blow out fork seals by hard breaking?
I bought my first bike a year ago. It is a Yahama V-star 650 Classic. I love it and it has plenty of power without being too heavy. It has the lowest center of gravity in its class and rides really smooth. I had never drove a bike at all untill I drove away from the dealership!I would not suggest getting anything much bigger due to your inexperiance with the balance and such.
If you are looking for a street bike, a 500 or so would do you justice as a beginner!

GOOD LUCK!
Frankly, I'd keep it under 300 cc. Until you've had a 200 pound machine scraping the pegs in a too-tight turn, you really don't want a 400 pound machine scraping the pegs in a too-tight turn. Of course, it depends why you have a bike. Think carefully. There's always time to die. :-)
The first thing I would do is take a sanctioned bike riding course. They usually use 150's or 200's and that should get you the basic feeling of riding. I would then get one no larger than 500 and as u learn move up into the bigger bikes. I would stay away from the crotch rockets for a couple of years as the insurance is as deadly as the bikes. I also would not carry passengers for a couple of years as well until you get the know your bike really good. Good luck and safe riding.
Will a 150/80/17 tire 0n a Sabre wheel fit on an '84 Honda Magna?
I would start with 250cc..Its much safer for a beginner ...You can always upgrade higher when you are more experienced.Safety is the important thing here !
Where can I get yamaha RD 350 in pune?
this krazy dude is a few cans short of a 12-pack. a 1000cc water cooled sport bike will quickly get a rookie rider killed when they make their first mistake.u didnt say if u were looking at a sport bike or a cruiser, but if this will be a sport bike, i would highly suggest that for ur first year or 2, keep it under 500cc's. even a 250cc sport bike will kill u if u disrespect it much less a 1000cc bike. if ur going for a cruiser, a air cooled harley wont put out quite as much power vs a water cooled bike. a 800cc metric bike will have a healthy bit of power on the interstates. beware of the crotch rockets...they are extremely powerful, and they will kill the one that doesnt respect that power.
Scrambler 500 (a couple of questions) any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!.?
the 600 would be best to learn on but you will want a bigger bike in a couple of months of riding and wish you bought the 1000, my advice would be get the 1000 and ride it around old back roads where there is no traffic until you get confortable with it before you get out in traffic with it.i can say from personal experience that a 600 cc sport bike is enough to give a beginner in a world of trouble before he realizes what he just got himself into. i took a ride on a buddy's 600 sport bike, and although i've been on cruiser's for the past 3 years, i found out almost the hard way i wasnt ready to just jump on a 600 ninja.
if u do insist on getting a 600cc sport bike, invest in some good gear that will save ur skin from getting rubbed off. and wear a helmet. it doesnt take much to get a catastrophic head injury if u go down, and u will go down quicker on a rocket than a cruiser. forgiving.they're not.

you don't need a sportbike.consider a cruiser for a first bikelike a suzuki savage .

A sportbike is like piloting a fighter jet, and all a literbike will get you is more speed. Can you pilot an FA-18?
A smaller bike like a GS500F is better for a newbie. Anyone that tells you "just be careful" would love nothing more than to take out a FAT life insurance policy on you. So what if 1000cc is only 1/4 of the displacement your SUV has? A bike is also 1/10 the weight!
Do you think a mid 80's Yamaha Virago, 1000 cc would be a good highway bike?
Take an MSF course first. The bikes they use are small and slow, but don't be fooled into thinking you can handle a race bike right after.

What do I need to know about motorcycle helmets?
I had a honda dream about 35 years ago. Decided to get a motorcycle last year, and got a honda twinstar 200. It is a great bike for around town,and to learn on. Light weight, easy to start, etc. My daughter paid $200 for a short course, and bought a 750. After she had the 750 a year, (and 12000 miles,) she got an 1100. I don't like her 1100. It is very heavy. good on the road, but a tank around town. After riding the 200 for a year and about 2000 miles, I got a 500. Questions--How tall, and strong is the rider? Different bikes have different seat heights. For a beginner, I would strongly recommend the 200 4 stroke twinstar, or something similar. It will go about 60 mph top speed, but I'm not comfortable on it at that speed. It is great putting around town, and up to 45 or so mph.How many inches long is standard Harley Hardtail frame?
Well I started out on a YZ 80 Dirt Bike, And Worked my way up to a CR 250, Then to a Ninja 500. Now I am riding a FZ1000.I would say that you should go take a riding class (Most Harley Shops have one for around $250-$300} Then it depends if you want a cruiser or a crotch rocket. I would say get a 600 jumping on a 1000 right off isn't the best Idea.
Can any one tell me what is the on road price for kinetic blaze scooter at bangalore?
Neither one, like bikernoj says. I could have easily killed myself when I bought my first bike, because I didn't know anything either. And it was only a 360. Bigger equals quicker, yes. But in new hands, bigger equals dead quicker. That was 18 years ago, and while my bikes have gotten bigger, this grandpa is still learning.Why spokes are not arranged perpendicular to rim of motor cycle rather than at angle?
There aren't many (ok, any!) liter-class bikes I would say are good for a beginner - they're usually either too heavy, too powerful, or both. My rule of thumb is that a good first bike is no more than 50 hp, and should be light enough that you can easily pick it up if you drop it. Learning to ride a motorcycle is enough work as it is, without having to worry about accidental wheelies or holding it upright if you stop at an oil-soaked intersection.Has anybody got a full power exhaust or race cans for a v-max for sale?
600 cc's is not a bad size for a first cruiser or dual sport (essentially a roadgoing version of a dirt bike). It's a bit too wild for a first sport bike, as the 600 class is full of 100 hp race-replica monsters. If you are looking at a sport bike, I would recommend a 500 cc or smaller twin. I've got a Suzuki GS500F myself - it's got more than enough power to keep up with highway traffic, but just not that much more than enough power to scare a first-time rider.
Are all these HD blasters still wet behind the ears?
I'd also recommend taking the Motorcycle Safety Foundation class, or other riding lessons. These will give you a chance to learn the basics of the controls in a safe environment with a teacher watching you.
You probably will get alot of different opinions on this, but heres my experience.
I started at age 16 on the road on a Yamaha DT175 on/off road bike. Light, easy to handle, learn on.
Moved yp to a 400 Yamaha, still a light bike, was a xs400 road bike, not powerful, easy to corner, stop, start, got my licence with that bike. Rode that bike for a few years, also a kz400.
Moved up to a 550 Honda(still own it) and an xs 650 Special. More power, still easy to handle, though the 550 is kind of top heavy, meaning it feels like it wants to lean over farther than you may want it to in a turn.
Moved up again to a Honda CB900, lotta power, heaver bike, bigger bike, longer wheelbase. Also owned a 1200cc Harley Sportster too. Also have ridden MANY different bikes, including big-twin Harleys, wicked powerful crotck rockets, and a VAlkarie that is probably the biggest bike I ever got on.
Today I own the 1975 cb550, and a pretty nice 1982 CB900C.
I am glad that I started on lighter, easier to handle bikes, and put alot of miles on all of them. Alot of the important skills are slow speed manuvers, starting, stopping turning, pulling up to gas pumps, tollbooths, avoiding dogs, kids other cars. Its best to hone them skills on a lighter bike first, and move up to a bigger bike in a couple years. Bigger bikes react slower generally in corners and such, but have way more power.

few friends learned through the beginning rider program.
I'd say too, go looking at a few dealerships, see what you like, see what feels compfortable, and look on ebay at bikes too. Lotta bikes on there.
Any 50cc will do
Who knows where to get ec homologated scooters and motorcycles?
It really depends on how big you are as a person. I am a 5 foot tall, 100 lb girl.. and the first bike I learned to ride was a 2006 CBR600F4i.. but the first bike I'll own will be a Ninja 500R. My boyfriend, however, is a lot bigger than me. His first bike was an interceptor 750. Then he bought the 2006 CBR.How to polish the rough middle of the rim on 98 gsxr.?
I started riding 4 years ago on a Honda Rebel 250 cc and rode it for 1 year. Then I moved up to a Honda VLX600 for 3 years and this year I'm on a Honda Shadow 750, and each bike took a while to get used to. I would really recommend that you start smaller and work up. Forget the machismo for a little while and become a proficient rider first. A beginning pilot doesn't fly a 747 right off the bat, eh?? Take a look at the Buell Blast 495cc - it's an absolutely fantastic/torquey blast of a ride - change the mufflers and you can hear it coming 10 blocks from home.I have to know whether there are any dealers in chennai for yo bikes (electrotherm india Ltd.)?
for a beginner...i think the best is a 400cc bike
its fast enough so you get a feel of fast bikes
but unless you rev it to its limit... you won't go flying off a cliff
so go ahead of your self
get a less powerful bike
What kind of motorcycle did prince drive in purple rain?
ooh i like these answers. No one mentioned fuel injected vs/carberated. I myself have riden a 600 for 2 years now. My first bike I rode on was a 00 honda 250 cc bike. dont remember the model. TAKE THE MSF COURSE FIRST. depending on your height and weight, starting on a 250 would be totally rediculous. I am 6'1'' and 175 lbs. There wasnt anything pushing me with a 250cc. I have a 94 Yamaha 600FZR almost impossible to wheely and nice handling. Carburated is nice to keep my front tire on the ground.Where can i get kawasaki f7 motorcycle parts at? It is 35 years old.?
