I'm not fond of Carbed cars but when you get them tuned right they'll certainly do the trick.nani wrote:I really really hate carbed bikes. but the SV is an awesome bike, and I love the sound of Vtwin engines. the DRZ is really good to. but not as fast for long rides.
BTW: thanks Dan for making the thread "OFFICIAL"
Nowdays, all the bikes are fast. If you've never ridden one, you'll be in awe of the instantaneous acceleration of any cruiser, much less a sportbike.ShadyAltima wrote:nice bikes, been wanting a bike for a while... but my folks really don't want me to get 1... just curious what are some of the fast bike models? and what brand is most preferred?
The first bike I ever rode was my friends 06 gsxr600 track bike. I didnt go over 5 or 6 miles an hour in a parking lot because the throttle response was frightening. A few weeks later I bought one of my very own, now I've never been over about 140 miles an hour, because I ran out of racetrackcmfireman wrote:

For beginners, any of the big four are a good bet. (Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki/Kawasaki)
IMHO, Honda and Yamaha made more reliable beginner sportbikes throughout the 1990's. (The CBR ans YZF 600's) The Kaw. Ninja 250/500 was near bulletproof, but quickly outgrown.
As far as starters, I would recommend the Kaw. Ninja 250/500, Yam. YZF600 or CBR600 F3/F4 in the sportbike category, and a <800cc cruiser by any of the big four. If you like the idea of a V-twin on a great handling frame, check out the Suzuki SV650.
Good Luck!
