LMFAO at the idiots saying to start on a 600 and a 750. Please do not start on anything bigger then a 500cc.

In his defense i agree with you, but he did not say get a 600cc SPORT bike u could get a 650 ninjaR or a gs500f or a 750 nighthawk those would all be a some what more acceptable starter bike would u not agree? but yes DO NOT get a 600cc sport bike to start!!!!!
But gear is a big deal too as stated i went once went down the freeway at 60 MPH+ without leathers on, i had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my back and needed a skin graph and was in a medically induced coma for 3 days all bcuz i thought it was too hot to wear my leathers that night. if i was in the right gear i would have walked away fine. I still have huge scars and just a little FF (fun fact) for you, if u think oh i wont be going fast or far, so no leathers, 1st degree burns hurt more then 3rd, i found out that 3rd degree kills the nerve endings 1st degree does not, and when they clean out your open wounds with a brillo pad u will wish u had no nerve ending at all.

wow just saw the guy that said start on a Gixxer 750 then get an R1!!!! No defense for that!!!

dam thats crazy man. what happened? were you at fault??

anways yeah no 600cc or up sport bikes (inline-4) its funny cuz a 1600cc harley(v-twin) is alot slower then a 600cc japanese bike. but yeah if you gonna go high in the CCs make it a cruiser or something so its not fast

Yes it was my fault. I was doing something I should not have been, and there was an obstruction in the road (mattress yes a mattress!!!) and if i would have been riding the right way i would have been able to avoid it. But hey thats the risk of riding. but here r a few pix from it the big "dot" on my elbow is what it looks like when loose black asphalt in embedded in the skin, and i have other pix to graphic. But what u dont see is that on my butt my jeans and underwear were also embedded in the skin and had to be pulled out fiber by fiber and one of the rivets on the back of my jeans melted to my skin and had 2 be ripped off too. ride safe

Ouch..I know there's a lot of people who trash the idea of riding after a fall, especially a serious one like that one but have you got back on a bike since then? I really hope you have..and 600's on a track, now thats where a sport bike belongs. You are a lucky man to take a 600 on a track..I took my moms 07 zx6r for 2 laps around on a trackday and yeah, you already know there's no need for a or possible to describe it. My modified 250 doesn't compare..but i like watching the expressions on an unexperienced liter bike rider when they see me on the inside of their turn and later find out what i was riding.

..unexperienced liter bike rider..those two shouldn't mix but you already know as well as i do..
