What type of bike should i get for my first bike???????!!!!!!!????

Question

hello,

I decided to get a motorcycle; I got my appt for my training school soon to get my M1. I’ve read a few forums and what some people suggest to other people. I’m 5’10 about 180-190 pounds and 22. At first the new 2007 CBR 125r appealed to me but because, a few reasons was that its small I can easily control it and won’t be intimidated by its size and it’s also cheap. At the same time I don’t want to be teased and taunted by fellow riders that saying it has a lawnmower engine in it or their bmx has bigger tires therefore I was also looking into a 2004-05 CBR 600. It’s a bigger bike, suits me well, I wont stick out in it and in terms of the speed ill never complain its to slow. But regardless I never plan to ride fast I just want a bike to ride to my buddies houses, ride downtown a bit nothing crazy. So I don’t know which one to pick cbr 125 or maybe a 2005 aprilia rs 125, it’s a bigger bike looks nicer compared the cbr 125 minus the power the 600 would have. So what do you guys

Answer 1

I don't know what the law is where you are, but where I am, the law is that for the first year you are only allowed to ride 250cc bikes. It's probably a good idea anyway.

There are a lot of fast 250's out there these days. My dad complains that the 250 Kawasaki I have now has more power that the 900 BSA he had when he was my age.

It might be an idea to try and find a small cruiser, as they are a lot easier to balance than the all-out sport bikes, especially at low speeds.

idk

Answer 3

i think u must buy motorcycle type 125cc for a first bike, after u can drive it u can change to 250cc or 450cc. but in my country in Indonesian for beginner u must buy type 75 cc or 100cc or 110cc after that u can  ride for 150cc. if u wan for a big cc u must buy CBR 600cc or something like that

Answer 4

Are you looking to buy a brand new bike?  If you are looking for a cruiser, you may want to look up a Yamaha Verago XV 535.  They don't make them anymore (as of recently).  If you buy a bad crazy bike, you're going to be bad and crazy on it eventually, the power always goes to your head.  

A good looking sport bike that you can putt putt around on is a Yamaha FC600.

Answer 5

If you want to start out with a sportbike then min. should be a 600 cc bike, if you get anything less you will be looking to upgrade in a few months. Once you learn how to ride and get comfortable you will want that power and speed... so minimum 600cc but fast and dangerous so take it easy at first
