Can anyone help me choose my first motorcycle?

Question

I'm going to be getting my first bike in about a week and I'm not sure which one I should get. There's so many different choices and I'm not sure if I should get the Kawasaki Ninja 500r, the Suzuki SV650/s, or maybe theres some other one I havent heard of. I would like to get a good all around bike that's fun to ride, not terrible for the insurance, and can go on a 65mph highway. Thanks!

Answer 1

i would suggest a gixxer 600

Answer 2

listen to the engines on the Kawasaki Ninja 500 and the Suzuki SV 650

they have a cheap, junky engine sound, huh?

next listen to the engine on the Yamaha FZ6, sounds smooth and strong,  huh?

look at the quality of these bikes, the Kawasaki and Suzuki have cheap steel tubes with horrible welds while the Yamaha has a high quality almost one piece aluminum frame and is crafted and made high quality

Answer 3

Look at the Hyosung's GT models, very good and fast also the price right. They are not a china import infact look at the SV motor and their motor. ( They use to make Susie motors).

Answer 4

I dislike the Ninja 500R, cheap made.

For your FIRST bike, if you are wanting something that style.. I say go with either a Katana 600, which is a VERY nice looking bike without the "get you killed" power of the GXSR 600... this is you FIRST bike.

Or, I also like the YZF600R, not the R6, the YZF600R, there is a HUGE difference, the 600r is also a very nice looking bike, that is a toned down version of the R6.

Either or, both nice looking bike that are kind of easy on the pocketbook as well.

Answer 5

Dont listen to these squids, they dont know whats up, I reccomend you buy a hayabusa or zx-14. Great begginer bikes...

Answer 6

go for a gsxr 600, it'll probably be the last bike you'll ever buy you'll love it so much
