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.

GS is blah
get a Ninja 250 its ALL you need for starting to ride, then you can flip it later for pretty much what you paid. This is the bike to learn how to ride on, get experience and practicality. |

This is the bike to learn how to ride on, get experience and practicality. qft. my bro just bought a 08 250r. looks much better than the old 250r. the 250r will do 0-60 in 5.7 and the quarter in 14.5. not slow by any means. and its a light, great handling bike. starting with a 600 or liter bike is stupid and you will wish you hadnt. you cant take those bikes even close to its limits on the street. if youre new to riding youre just going to hurt yourself and get into trouble. i myself am picking up a used 500r this week, mainly because im getting a good deal on it. still a great starter bike to build confidence, but has more room to grow with it as you become a more proficient rider. i recommend a getting a used bike as well because you will drop it if youre just learning to ride and its cheaper. edit- also make sure to take the msf course before buying a bike. youll learn a lot and you get a discount on insurance This post has been edited by celicaST: Apr 23, 2008 - 5:04 PM --------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
