I'll beast on dirt. Streetbikes and riding them on the street still makes my heart jump into my throat on occasion. |
Re: looking at purchasing my first bike....
Go atleast 600. when youre bored of it gear the ---- out of it and enjoy 10krpm at 80mph. In 1k miles i got tired of my 636 and sold it, now i want an R1. ---- all that weight bullshit, theres no curvys around here and its all freeway, so straightline power is where its needed.

Re: looking at purchasing my first bike....
A guy at work recently picked up a Yamaha R6(04 or 05?? model) for $4k...I rode the bike at lunch the other day and it moves pretty good. Especially compared to the old ZX-6's I used to ride when I was younger.

Buy a used name brand bike, not ching chong meow. I'm sure a honda with 40K would last longer that a brand new ching chong bike

only advice i can give you for your first bike is buy something you're not going to worry about dropping in your garage or laying it down, because you will do it. get something mid-1980's, japanese, and no larger than a 750 until you have a grasp on riding on the street. and don't tell me you've "ridden dirt bikes all your life" because the street is a completely different animal compared to off road. the hyosung and sv650 are the same bike |

riding in the dirt fast is much harder than riding on the street fast. off road = much harder |
