whats a good starter bike?, for all you motorcycle enthusiasts Options

[tonytutino]

i'm in the market for a crotch rocket and i really have no idea what to be looking for. i don't want to kill myself and start with a 600cc but i mean i've heard both sides on what to get. i'm just looking for your guy's opinion.
let me know!

suzuki makes like a 450 i believe from 2000 that looks pretty modern, but is still a low disp. bike.

i think it all comes out to your maturity. get a liter bike and not screw around on it and you should be ok. there is a weight difference so handling will be majorly changed from a small bike to a big one, but its all in how you get used to it.

either way you choose, be responsible and have fun!

edit:

i think its this one, but i believe you can get a ferring for it, if they dont come with the pieces.

i prefer fuel injected, but eh doesnt matter all that much in the big picture

also these from 99 (also available in blue)

ive had honda's kawasaki's yamaha's and triumph's (my fav) so i cant comment too much on suzuki's, but i hear the gsx line are popular 600, 750 and 1000 and i hear they also share similar frames to the triumph's, which i find to be a very well finished bike.
