  1. i would rather walk....


  2. Dont get those bikes, go with a brand bike. I agree with Comoss on mostly everything, except that he smoked a 1000cc on a 250cc unless the guy he was up against completely missed his shifts and didn't know how to ride then yes he would have won, and the other guy should not be riding that machine. You have to get experience on any type of bike and the only way you get experience is by hard times on the road that's were called street-fighters (I don't mean crashing, more like controlled situations on a school parking lot where you set up your own situation). I just finished my motorcycle safety class and I have about 2 weeks riding a Yamaha R1 for my first bike(from work to school). I don't know where I read this but the guy said, "the bike doesn't want to kill you, but if your right hand tells it to, it will; without hesitation." That makes sense to me. I suggest test drive to see which bike fits you best 600cc and lower. I should also mention that once you are on the freeway on a bike 500cc or lower it gets pretty scary because of the delay in power & the overall throttle response. Ask a friend for a test ride, if you don't know anyone with a bike make a friend, but as a beginner you should start riding with close friends so they can help you out if you need any help... you should also be asking them about the bikes they would get or what you should expect.  

  3. Good Lord! The bikes on your two links are absolute c**p. Buy one and beware. Get a Kawasaki 250 Ninja, don't listen to anyone else. Any year, it doesn't matter- the differences are either purely cosmetic or they would only make a difference to a very experienced rider.

    You need a bike no larger than a 250. Ignore anyone who tells you differently. I expect you to get suggestions for...

    Suzuki GS500

    Kasawaki Ninja 500

    Yamaha R6 or Seca II

    Honda CBR600

    Suzuki GSX-R 600

    Honda VTR250

    ...but don't do it. A VTR is a pain in the butt, the GS500 and Seca II are air-cooled. The 500 is too big, and any 600 is way too much bike for you.

    Young males seem to think that a 600 is "small" - but that's why they don't allow young males to vote- they don't know any better. Ignorant older males also seem to think that a 600 is "small" - that's just because they are... ignorant. I've been riding for 30 years, and have owned 61 street bikes. One of my race bikes is a 250 Ninja, and I have out-ridden dozens of less-skilled riders who were on bikes with engine sizes over 1000cc. They thought 250's were slow until I smoked them.

    You need a liquid-cooled bike as a beginner.

    You think you want a sport bike (but you don't- you just like the look)

    You need the bike to be reliable and proven.

    A Kawasaki 250 Ninja meets those criteria, and has been made virtually unchanged for many many years.  It's short enough, narrow enough, and forgiving enough so that most beginners will not be over-intimidated by it. They can be bought for as little as $1000. Make sure the thing runs before you buy it, obviously. If the seller will not allow a test-ride (I wouldn't) then make the seller ride it in front of you.  Put it on the center stand and make sure it will shift into every gear, etc. SMELL THE GAS in the fuel tank! If it smells like varnish, the bike has been sitting- don't buy it unless they give you at least $300 off the price, so that you can take it in and have the fuel system cleaned.

    DO NOT LISTEN if they try to tell you that it "doesn't matter"- if the gas is stinky, it DOES matter.  Learn what good and bad gas smells like before you embarrass yourself, though.

    Also, please don't say "I like the sports bike"- that terminology is like saying "I like the convertibles car"  If you have to say it, say "I like sport bikes"   That will keep people from taking advantage of you- if you admit that you know nothing about bikes, you will get victimized.

    Mileage should be at LEAST 2,000 for every year the bike is old. Three year old bike = 6,000 miles. Any less than that and the bike hasn't been ridden enough. When a vehicle sits without being ridden enough, things start to rot, dry out, and go bad prematurely. If a Honda Civic can go 200,000 miles, then why can't a Honda motorcycle?  25,000 miles is NOT a lot of miles, even though people seem to think so- it's just that most people don't RIDE motorcycles, they just OWN them. When people see 80,000 miles on my CBR they can't believe it, but they don't seem to care about the 120,000 miles on my car.

    Anyway, I posted a link of my own under "sources" below...

  4. Like sn00p said, those are both chineese knockoffs, you might want to look at a used kawasaki ninja 250r, they are very good dependable beginner bikes, and parts for them are everywhere.

    Go with a dependable company like Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, etc.

  5. they're both chinese junk knockoffs, you don't want either... if anything happens to it, you'll be out of luck

    never buy bikes that aren't sold by dealers (you don't have to buy it from a dealer, buying used is fine) but if it is only sold through retail chains or worse... online... you have nowhere to turn when it needs parts (and it will need parts, they all break)  the quality of the chinese stuff is pretty shady too

  6. hi, dont get mad, you are new and these are fake motorcycles. good for kids not adults. Aslo being new i'd like to recomend that you not get a sports bike as your first bike. But if your heart is set on that type of bike, then...

    1. 2008 Suzuki GS500F ($5,199)

    Photo © SuzukiThe GS500F's sporty appearance should appeal to performance-oriented riders, but its air-cooled, twin-cylinder 487cc engine is tame enough for beginners.

    2. 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 500R ($5,499)

    Photo © KawasakiOne of the tamest members of the notorious Ninja family, the 500R is like a Ninja 250R on steroids-- while remaining manageable enough for beginners.

    3. 2008 Suzuki GSX650F ($6,999)

    Photo © SuzukiDon't let its Gixxer-like looks fool you; the Suzuki GSX650F's upright posture and tractable powerplant make it a great beginner bike.

    Now I know these are out of your price range, but a used 3 year old version can be found of these in that price range you suggested and would be very fine bikes, and being sports bikes, would most probably be low mileage.'
