Zxr 400 1st bike?

Question

am getting a zxr400 in a few weeks and havent drove a bike in years when i did drive last it as only a 125, am i being suicidle?

Answer 1

Probably, but what a way to go :)

On a serious note though, it all depends on the type of rider you are. Some will say yes, some will say no, but at the end of the day a bike will only go as fast as you make it go. If your going to act silly and open the throttle right up then yes, you are going to die. If you ride it with the respect and sensible attitude it deserves then you should be fine. Although your sensible riding still doesn't account for the idiots driving along on 4 wheels. No offence car drivers, but us bike riders have to assume that everyone in a car is a fool, kinda keeps us on our toes. Plus in my experience most of you are to be fair :)

Answer 2

hmmm i dont like these answers, i tnk u'll hav toget a smaller bike, like an 80cc or a push bike or something lol

Answer 3

go to a bike shop that does training and ask them about refresher days.  Worth every penny that you will save on the first crash you don't have

Answer 4

Assume you drive exactly as you did before.  Is that suicidal?  You are not likely to be any better, and your skills are probably rusty, dusty and corroded.

Now how do you feel about it?

Your choice...

Answer 5

hey at least you'll die happy

Answer 6

If you do crash it, just remember that it is an import and you may have trouble getting parts as they are different from bog standard bikes over here. Get the bike's history FIRST.

Answer 7

That is instant death if you havent riden for a while.

Ride it by all means but show it some respect or it will kill you.
