y does every1 say 2 start with a small bike? i recommend u get sumthing u can grow with!!! im a big guy but my 1st bike was a hayabusa and i never dropped it or anything {KNOCK ON WOOD} but i would recommend atleast a 750, they are easy 2 ride and when u get more skill a 750 is enuff for almost any1, unless u want a landspeed record...........
I've only seen one of your other posts, and this one is stupid, too.Originally Posted by B18CDELSLO
Wow your an idiot did you not read how much he weighs? A 750 would flip him if he cant control it
a 500 could flip him just as easy
No, it wont.
you haven't ridden many bikes have youI've seen a guy loop a 250
I have a 250 in my garage, I dont see how you can loop a 250 unless your trying to wheelie is intentionally.you haven't ridden many bikes have you
damn, you guessed it
You obviously dont know shit about bikes or even riding them
and what kinda bike do you have? i used to be able 2 put my knee down on my old hayabusa,which i doubt u could do, not many people can..... i kno enuff to kno that there are always conditions or circumstances in which even sumthing as small as a buell blast can throw u off
What a dumbass

Hey man ..I have bought 2 Brand new gsxr 750's in the last year ...A new MODERN SS 750 is NOT A JOKE ...Maybe you should go view the Pics of your ride thread and check out my 2007 750 ...It is NOT first bike material home boy ..I am running with 1000 RR's and gsxr 1k's all day ...im a dumbass? what was your first bike? and how long was it b4 u wanted 2 upgrade? every1 i kno that buys a 600 ends up selling them for a 750 or bigger within 6-8months!!! thats all im saying, save urself the time and money u might lose selling the 600, and im not saying for every1 to run out and buy a busa, 1000 or zx14!!! a 750 is easy enuff 2 learn on but also enuff to scare the shit out of u wen u get sum more skillz! regaurdless of what kind of bike you start with if you ride SCARED and respect the bike you should be ok
You NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER ride scared ..If your scared , you will crash ..You always need to know that at some point you will go down ,we all do ..I have crashed a few times just like anyone lese i know that rides hard ,does track days , stunts , and go to the mountains ...
You are right about one thing though ..RESPECT !!! Dont be scared of the bike ,yet respect it ..Honestly a bike is only as fast as your wrist turns the throttle but all the low end tourqe of a litre bike will bite you in the ass in 2 seconds flat ..
If you come off a dirtbike and been riding dirt for years then not such a big deal to hop on a modern Sportbike but no bigger than 600 ..They are less forgiving when you do (NOT IF BUT WHEN ) make a mistake

by the way my very first street bike was an old ass Honda Hurricane 600 ..Whihc is about the same power of a newer 500 ..PLENTY of power for a newb...My second was a zx7 my 3rd was a zx9 ,then back to a cbr600, then a couple years later back on a zx9...After the zx9 i bought a 2005 gsxr 600 ..LOVED IT at first i was mad about the power loss but after a few weeks i learned i could ride the bike so much better without that waste of power ...
After the 600 i went to a 2005 gsxr 1000..Had it 2 weeks and realized it was a waste of money and back down to a 2005 750 ...Now i am on a 2007 750 with an ass load of mods...
Been riding since i was 7 or 8 in the dirt and street since i was 16-17 and i am now 28

well that may be you but i would never recommend anyone getting that big of a bike on there first bike i have seen two of my friends in texas both get busa one as his first and the other guy it was his 3rd bike and one was killed in 3 weeks and the other was killed in 4 1/2 months
i would honestly start with a 600 or a 750 a 600 will do enough for you to be happy with trust me and everybody else that says so
i agree completely, i been ridin since i was lil and i have said numerous times that i think the 750 is a good starter bike cuz its something you can grow with
Lol. You're dumb. A new rider has no business on any race-replica sport bike. They are *considerably* more difficult to ride proficiently. If you don't already realize that, then its because you don't know how to ride. Period.

If the OP wants to end up a straight-line speed junkie like stay_up (who constantly makes ignorant comments regarding motorcycles), then it doesn't matter what he starts on...
...but if the OP wants to take the fastest & safest path to getting any skills, then he will start on 500cc or smaller.
My recommendation to the OP: Do your own research. Just like anything else, people will give you varying bits of advice (some of it good, some of it bad).
There are lots of people out there who will give you a bunch of shitty advice because they dont' know any better. Such is life. Make an informed decision, even if its the wrong one.
Nuff said
