I was orginally looking for a 250 or so for my first bike but i couldn't find anything my budget. but i found this bike for 1500, it's real nice with only 8000 miles on it. custom paint and everything. i'm wandering if i will do okay with a 600cc bike... I weigh around 180 lbs and i'm about 5'10 or 5'11. do you think i can easily handle this bike? is this a good bike for my weight and stuff? give me some adivce when i start riding thanks :D

  1. great bike for anyone if its a good runner and not a nail off ebay lol


  2. Have you ridden it yet? If you've never ridden a bike before you may be a little surprised by the power. My advice is just take it easy and get comfortable before you get out on the roads. Learn how your bike turns, breaks, where the clutch engages. I started off on an 800 cruiser and had never ridden a bike before and had no problems. I know cruisers are much diff than sport bikes but you should be fine. That's a good bike to start out on plus it should last you a few summers. Good luck.

  3. >>  do you think i can easily handle this bike?

    What difference does it make?  You bought it.  Now just try to ride it safely.

    Good Luck...

  4. excellent choice for a starter bike as long as it runs well...

    keep the revvs low when you're starting out, and just learn the basics first...

    speed and higher revvs will come in time as your confidence grows...

  5. I answered your question about this bike on the other post so I'm just going to add: Yes, I believe your weight and height are perfect for this bike. Like I said though, it's best if you take the MSF safety course. You won't regret it. Buena suerte!
