WOW Motorsports...

Anyone done business with them? Just wondering how they are. Later, QD.

[GIXXERDK]

Never go there! If you do a simple seach on GSB, you'll find numerous complaints about them. Are you looking for a bike?

[quickdodge®]

Yes. I am. Later, QD.

[GIXXERDK]

Yes. I am. Later, QD.

If WOW is a convienent location, I suggest you just go there to sit on a couple bikes and see what you like. As far as buying a bike, I bought my bike 2005 gsxr600 brand new for $7000 OTD in North Carolina, where in GA they wanted $8500

[WickedIXMR]

lawenceville usually has some good prices on their bikes

[con]

don't even waste your time/money at WOW, unless you want a revamped beater that's being sold for much more than market value......

QD, are you looking for used, new, and/or dealership only bikes? I haven't bought any out of the box new bikes, but all of my bikes have been bought used from private sellers at fractions of what they cost at local dealerships (with much less mileage). also if you're paying cash or personal loan, you can save many hundreds by buying from a private party.

See I've been hearing that same stuff for several years now. Maybe I won't check them out. I am looking to finance so private party is out. Later, QD.

George. If I were asking something about cameras or living a homosexual life, I would've asked you. I didn't. So A.....B..........C your way out of here. Lolol. Later, QD.

[FAHHQUE700]

What exactly are you looking for? These easiest new bike to be financed is Honda. Suzuki and Kawasaki factory financing use 3rd party finance companies. Usually, these 3rd party finance companies are harder to get financed if your credit or debit-to-income is 'iffy'. Kawasaki right now is using GE Financial which is a bitch... If you find what you're looking for shoot me a PM. Maybe I can help you out.

[quickdodge®]

Well, shit. I was going to try for a CBR600. But after reading up, I decided I wanted to go with a 250. Keep in mind that I have never ridden a bike. Ever. And I'm not worried about speed and all. Just wanting to ride. Later, QD.

Being that you are older and wiser than the usual kid on here wanting a bike, I would suggest a 500, or one of the toned down 600's (zzr600, cbr600f4i, yzf600, etc). Basically one without the "R" at the end of the name. They have a lot better seating position also.

[WickedIXMR]

your gonna regret getting a 250

[quickdodge®]

I think I'll be ok. As I stated, I'm not looking to go fast, I don't care about stunts and tricks. All I'm going to do is ride. And my understanding is that it is a great noob bike. Later, QD.

[StupidBikerBoy]

Deffinately stay away

[FAHHQUE700]

go with a kawasaki zzr 600, cheap, realible, easily maintained... good starter bike... or an aprilla 500? all depends on your size, and where you ride... a 250 is dangerous, not enough powertoget out of the way, if you needed to do so.

[quickdodge®]

I'm 6'1" and right at 200lbs. I am just looking for something easy on me and the pocket. Later, QD.

[StupidBikerBoy]

SV650 would also be a good choice. They are cheap and abundant. Parts are also cheap. And you can do anything with them. Comfortable enough for long trips, or very trackable.

We just got one for my better half and I love it.

I second this bike, I forgot. Excellent starter bike, hell it's just a good bike period.

I also recommend an SV (if you can get over the looks). And make damn sure you atleast get a helmet, jacket, and gloves. If it wasn't for my jacket I would of probably broke my arm 2 weeks ago.

[BTLFED]

I agree, except for the looks part. My buddy has an SV650 with full fairings and it looks good.

[WickedIXMR]

I think the honda f4i would be a good first bike. My first bike is the new r6 and i dont have any problems what so ever. Its just how you treat the bike. The bike doesnt kill you, its how you treat it, others around you, and your gear..

[quickdodge®]

I know and agree. I just don't want any more power than I really need. Later, QD.

[GIXXERDK]

250 seems a little too low. What about a EX500 or GS500?

[quickdodge®]

Who makes the EX or the GS? I've been looking at insurance rates and for a 98 CBR600, it will cost me $31/month. Later, QD.

[David88vert]

QD, I would suggest you get a GS500 or EX500 (used) for a starter bike. Cheap to get, easy to sell when you need more. You are old enough and mature enough to even step up to a real 600 for starters. Just don't buy a new bike. You will drop it. If you want me to help you find one for cheap, I can. I can probably help you out with the financing also if it is a cheap bike. You will need some riding gear also, PM me and I will help you locate some.

Thanks, Dave. Sorry, but I forgot all about calling you about this. I do know that I want a used bike mainly for the lesser price. I hear it isn't hard to finance a bike. I do have a Snell 95 full face helmet that I bought in 1999 and only wore for once a month for about an hour for two years. So maybe a total of no more than 30 hours tops. Would that helmet suffice or would I need to get a new one? Later, QD.

You will definately need a new helmet. Helmets have a shelf life. They start deteriorating after a few years. Generally, no more than 5 years on a helmet.

You will also need gloves, a jacket, some boots, and some Draggin Jeans. Some of it you can get used or on clearance to start off really cheap. I might be able to dig up some extra gear off some of the guys also.

You should consider taking the MSF course, but if you want to save some money, you can come over after you pick up a bike, and I can teach you the exact same things for free (rather than the $250 for the class). I've taught a few people (all are still alive). The MSF course will get you your real license though.

What do they teach at the msf course? I heard theres also another program where you take you bike and they teach you on a track.

I think your talking about a race class. MSF teaches you the basic fundumentals of riding the proper way.

We have several new Ninja 250/500's on the floor all the way up to the Zx-14's at the shop right now... let me know if you have any Kawasaki questions. We have several finance companies that we go through... as mentioned before we do deal with GE, but we also deal with HSBC and other private companies. Just let me know if I can help you out.

Listen here, George Part II. If I wanted to know how to hem a dress or apply mascara to my face, I would have sent you message. But I'm not concerned with all that mess so stay in the kitchen and out of here. Lolol. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

Seriously, Princess, thanks for the offer. I remember you put that out there last time I was asking about this.

Dave, I will definitely get with you on the above you mentioned. Later, QD.

Nothing better than a chick who can hem a skirt, apply mascara, cook a meal, fuck, and tell you pretty much whatever you need to know about motorsports...

[WickedIXMR]

if you get a helmet dont go cheap just go ahead and buy an arai i made a mistake and bought a cheap shoei for 200 and i hate the helmet

[GIXXERDK]

Its all personal preference. HJC fits my head retardedly, where Shoei feels awesome.


"The more expensive the helmet, the better?" -- WRONG many top racers wear KBC,HJC,SHOEI, ect.

Thats a fact, I bought a cheap helmet and hit the pavment doing around 40-45 and cracked the helmet.

[David88vert]

That's what it is supposed to do. The helmet absorbs the impact and cracks - instead of your skull.

[BTLFED]

Everyone else has already said it, but stay the fuck away from WOW. Their bikes are crap.
