I don't even have to read any responses, you're not gonna get one just like how you're not gonna do a turbo v8

frank, that gsx 400 is a rolling pile of low tech ----. youll be sick of it and ready for a liter bike in 2 weeks.

buy something you wont outgrow and just be smart about it.

those upgrads that slant eye was telling you about is nothing more than a slip on pipe, probably readjusted the suspension and from the looks of it stainless brided brake lines, whoop ti ------ do.

that biek is so slow, it doesnt even need brakes and could proably be registered as a moped.

i had a buddy start out on an R1 and i got a lot that started out on a 600cc bike...and a few that started on a 250 or 500...both that started out on a 250 or 500 say they wasted their money on the bike cause they grew outa the bike really fast....all my buddies that ride say go with atleast a 600...it really doesn't matter what you start out on as long as you ride at the level that you are at...in other words don't try to go out and top out the bike if its your first time on a crotch rocket...i started out on a 600 and i've been fine and i havn't had a lot of experience riding any kind of bike.....but a lot of my buddies say get a bike that you don't care if you drop it cuase usually begginers drop their bikes....thats why i got a 1992 cbr 600 f2...juss respect the bike and it will treat you good

lol i learned on my friend 06 cbr600rr and i dropped it at four miles and hour. i don't ride bikes anymore. he was extremely mad, but my left arm ways more than him so he didn't do anything. besides, his dad has a body shop at his house and they fixed it and painted it this ugly *** dark red orange color. worst color ever.

im still undecided if i should get a motorcycle. i have payments on a 06 silverado. i earn less then 12k a year but all my money is spent on my cars and sometimes my girl. my civic got tottaled and i have around $2000 in turbo ecu ----. so i want to get another civic and build up the engine but i live with my parents and we only have a 2 car garage with 4 cars right now. so im thinking im just going to store all my turbo stuff and buy a civic when i move into my own house in 2 years or so.

If it was my decision I'd sell that chunk of truck silverado, buy a civic, and use the extra money I'm saving each month to move out of my mom's house. If you prefer to stay with your parents then use the money for a bike and it's ridiculous insurance.

Oh yeah, but it's YOUR decision.

My brother has a Honda Rebel for sale for like $1200. It's a total piece of ---- though, it's been dropped more times than I can count because he used to rent it out to people who wanted to get their liscense and become a cliche Harley biker...but couldn't pass the test on the bigass harley they intend to ride. :1
