I have a 1985 Honda shadow with a stuck or bent intake valve is it worth fixing or should i sell it??

my first bike was the yamaha 1100 vstar. I am a small woman 56 years old. I took off on a 300 mile round trip the first day I got it. I had ridden a dirt bike twice when I was 16. Get what you want and learn on it. If you can ride a bike you should have no trouble. Get someone experienced to ride beside or behind you for a time or two for your peace of mind and to help if needed. Worked for me. Been riding three years now and have put many many miles on my bike.

Some tips to be a good street or drag, motorcycle racer?

It is technically the same as what you are running now. Common sense keeps you from becoming a grease spot on the highway. If you don't have it now, wipe out a few times and if you survive, you might get some.

Please be careful riding.

I need help choosing a Dirt Bike?

If you have to ask "When will I know" you ain't ready and may never be. You don't say how old you are or what you're riding now. My guess is your young and on a 125 or 176.

2001 Suzuki TS50 Restrictor?

most people it takes a good 18 months to 2 years of quite a bit of riding to really feel comfortable. 600s are beasts made of pure speed. Seriously.

Idles go down after while of riding?

and if you have to ask if youre ready yet, then chances are you arent. Thats a good thing that you have it holding you back. Itll keep you from ending up an organ donor. If you dont ever feel comfotable getting onto something that fast, then dont. Id imagine itll take a while though. a kawi 250 or similar has more than enough potential to teach a young rider tons and tons and tons before they get on a much less forgiving 600.

You need to know which controls do what, and commit the basic actions of riding to "muscle memory". That means you shouldn't need to think about how to brake, how to shift, how to countersteer into a turn, take a line through a turn, etc. You should also be aware of how to manage yourself in traffic. In my case that took about 6 months of riding almost every day (about 4,000 miles), and a few embarrassing and nearly painful mistakes. Take your time and learn how to really ride, then get the bike you want. It's really embarrassing to see guys trying to ride bikes that outclass them, and making a mistake on a race-replica bike can be very costly in terms of hardware and skin. Take the BRC riding course if you haven't already. Ride safe and have fun!

1984 honda xr250 need help?

I feel I could handle one right now, but I've been riding for over four years. I currently have a 2006 ZZR600, and it's more than fast enough for any street riding. My next bike may be a 750 or a literbike, but I'm fine with what I have for now.

Which japanese motorbike celebrated 10th anniversary in 2006?

When you can swerve your way out of a bad situation, don't get tickets for more than a year, never lock up the rear wheel and get your knee down in the canyons or on the track, you probably are close to "outgrowing" your current bike.

Has anyone successfully installed a electric supercharger on their motorcycle?

My first bike was a 600cc sport bike (Honda F4i). If you have some riding experience under your belt you will be fine.
The key is responsibility!! You need to take an honest look at yourself and ask yourself... Will I be responsible on this bike? Will I get in over my head?..
Bikes like the R6 and gsxr600 will all stop faster than most bikes on the market. They are also some of the best handling bikes on the market.
A bike will only go as fast as you want it to. If you think that you will have a responsible throttle hand, you will be fine on an R6 and have a great time.
Just remember that these bikes are very fast and you can get in over your head very easily. So be careful and ride within your capabilities.
and have fun! That's what it's all about!

Can anyone name the background song in the new Hero Honda Karizma ad?

Ok Jason, I'm assuming you are riding a smaller bike now.

I have an Oscar and lately he seems to be swimming sideways he won't stay upright?

If you have been on the smaller bike for at least one riding season, you may be experienced enough to move up. When you get the 600 (whichever you choose...they all perform approximately the same), take it easy at first until you get the feel of the bike. I've never had two bikes feel the same.

I need a salvage project harley davidson motorcycle prefer big twin but will take any NO SPORTSTERS?

As you get more comfortable, you can extend your limits some. Take it in small steps. It took me a full riding season (and some) to get well acquainted with my Ninja ZX-6R.

What would you choose and why...a Harley Davidson Sportster 883, or a Yamaha V-Star Custom Motorcycle?

You will definitely enjoy the 600 bikes so I would say "go for it". Just make sure you know the bike well before you test it's limits.
