    Default Want to learn to ride a street bike

    Ive never ridden a bike before and want to get one. Im only 17 and i was thinking something small like a 600. How long will it take me to be able to ride? and not kill myself

    Take a MSF course ...there is no time limit on how good you can progress ...Its all on that rider I can tell you this I been riding for awhile an I still got lots to learn .....all I say is Be safe an ride your own ride dont try an prove to anyone that you can catch the other guy or out ride someone else to show off or show your man hood who has the bigger nuts thanks Joshua

    Repped. Good advice.

    Ride because you want to, not because you want to impress someone or pretend to be a "biker boyyyyyz"

    go and take a motorcycle saftey course asap if you want to ride... they provide you bikes to ride and learn on, so instead of wrecking your $6000 bike, you wreck there pos and dont have to pay. just fyi

    Take MSF course, buy cheap used bike like GS500 or EX500. Buy good gear. Wear it, start slow. Stay alive.

    get a new ninja 250, those look sweet. When I was 17 i got a ninja 250 (not as cool of a bike then as it is now), and liked it. I got a bigger bike later, then sold it for a track bike and started racing. Start small and you will probably enjoy the sport more/ longer.
