my opinion on first bike
I know many people r goin to disagree, but in my opinion anything less than 600cc is a waste of money. I started on a 600 and it wasnt too powerful. I have a lot of friends who started on 750's and it was no big deal. If your worried about dropping it just buy something a little older and cheaper. I just think if you buy something under a 600 u will be disapointed and stuck with it when you try to sell it. Remember when ur buying a bike a good thing to keep in mind is at some point ur going to sell it. So you want something that appeals to other people as well as yourself. Just thought i would share this with everyone

my first (and current) bike is an 04' gixxer 600. I love my bike and i'm glad i didn't get anything smaller, but I think that it really depends on the rider for what they start out on. If they don't take their time and respect whatever they get, then they will have problems. I agree with Bulldog though....you should try to get a little experience on something else before you just hop on a sportbike. :thumbs:
My first street bike was a 1987 600R Ninja. (totaled in less than 3k)
Rode dirt as long as I can remember.
I taught my wife to ride a worn out Banshee then a 80cc dirt bike to a SVS 650 to a GSXR 600.

There's a HUGE difference between a dirtbike and a streetbike. Male-ness isn't the qualifier for who can handle the larger bike. His first bike was a 636. Why should she be any different? Sorry, gender is *NOT* a qualifier.bulldog said:not if she hasent been riding her whole life

nobody said gender was but she barley even rode a bicycle as a kid and she has never drivin anythign with a clutch. her on a 636 woudl be suicide.
Well a person should be able to drive a stick shift car first before thinking about riding a bike!
i sorta agree with this. driving a stick car gives you a good feel of how a clutch works. on the other hand i knew how to drive clutch on a bike way b4 i was even allowed to drive. adn i also never had a car that was automatic. automatic takes the fun out of everything.Gas Man said:Well a person should be able to drive a stick shift car first before thinking about riding a bike!
