Ditto on the RSV (except I'd rather have the Mille R) GSX-R 1000Ninja ZX-6RR

[SHIFT_Z]

ZX-6RRs are hottt! My summer bike shopping isn't going too well. I might just find a 250 and put a few upgrade parts on it for a little more kick

[SmithSR]

^^that's hot!

I like my F3 for daily use though. Still plenty of speed & thrills.

[Onizuka]

Call me crazy, but I really just want a ninja 250r for my first bike. Those other bikes are my "2nd bike" choices

[Mr1der]

mmm ducatti...I like the Monster SR4 (crap, think that was the right designation, I can't 'member!)

oh, old Norton's and BSA's are cool

and the ever classic Vincent Black night.

oh, I'm too lazy to get pics right now, anyone wanna do it for me?:D

oh yeah, black and yellow Harley Fatbot :ylsuper

I liked my 97 TL1000S pretty darn good.My SV650 was fun, too.

And the only other one on my wish list was a Bandit 1200, which is what I was trying to find when I bought the TL. Glad I got the TL, my favorite out of all the bikes I have riden.

Mine was of course red, with D&D exhaust.

My SV650 was fun, too. But again it was red. With Yoshimura full race exhaust.

Here is one of the SV650 with the SharkSkinz full body kit.

the fav first bike... someday....-Enzo

[Onizuka]

Im definatly getting a Ninja EX250, such a great all around starter bike, and they are dirt cheap!

[Bubba1]

Gotta love the classics: Honda 750-4, and Kawasaki KZ1000

[Bandit240]

All of yall prefer the fast as hell sportbikes. Im more of a laid back scooter person. Ive got a 1986 Honda Elite 150D with less than 20,000miles on it. I used to drive it everyday to get where I needed to be. Check out http://www.geocities.com/hondaelite150 for the pics. That page is very out of date

[Megaseth]

damn bandit, that old pickup looks pretty mean.

[dr!ft]

MV Agusta F4 SPR... mmm.



I simply must own one of them in my lifetime! Although I might settle for a Ferracci-built Ducati 1026...



Full carbon fiber bodywork = :drooling

[89NC240SX]

I have a 2000 Yamaha R6. But I still love my brothers 03 gixxer-1000. Awesome power!:ylsuper

[j-z]

my dad just picked up a 02' silver fz1 a couple weeks ago. i love the stainless header, its off the chain. i need to get a job so i can take the bike class and get my license so i can drive the *****. eventually after i get done with the 240 (who knows when thats gonna be) im gonna pick up a r6. on the streets of willow road course the r6's lap time was 1.13:89 coming infront of the gsx1300r (aka hayabusa), kawasaki zx-9r, the r1, and cbr600f4. its nearest competetion was the r1 which lapped a time of 1.14:69. ive read that the r6 is one of the most nimble bikes around. i also love the helicopter motor powered bike that leno has. that **** is suweet! maybe i can post some pics of my dads bike this weekend.

[Onizuka]

They have a name for people who start off on 600cc+ sport bikes, I'll let you find out what it is and why

[j-z]

what, roadkill? actually ill be starting off on my dads fz1. but i will eventually start off owning a r6. i dont see anything wrong with that. especially if my dad thinks its alright, its alright.

[Onizuka]

I have to disagree, Your going to have alot of fun paying $8500 for the bike and then paying $9000 a year in insurance so you can drive it. Why is insurance that much? Because of all the (secret word for people who buy 600cc+ sport bike to start with).

I just checked on progressive, and this is how much it costs for a 20 year old to insure an R6 in my area who has a perfect driving record:

Most of that is from collision cost, because the insurance company knows all you (secret word for people who buy 600cc+ sport bike to start with)s are going to crash it within the first year.

That price is without unisured motorist coverage or medical payments coverage and really piss poor Bodily Injury and Property Damage coverage.

playing around with the settings I got it up to $15,570 a year with really good coverage. Or you can to the ghetto, get-nothing-if-anything-happens insurance for a ultra cheap $3000 a year :rolleyes

Still want an R6 as your starter bike?

[civics91]

i am geting a crb600rr and i am 17 i think its like 200 a month for me

[Onizuka]

If you live in the country side, its alot cheaper, because its alot less dense. Insurance rates have ALOT to do with location. J-Z lives in orland fl: Year round riding season + lots of road traffic = Stratispheric insurance rates.

I also hope that the CRB600rr is not your first bike, because that doesnt set you off any better from a safety stand point than j-z.

Sorry if it sounds harsh, but you have to realise if you buy a 600cc+ sport bike that insurance companies will only veiw you as a stupid kid with a fast bike until you turn about 24-26. So will most people, including other motorcycle riders.

Last summer I wanted nothing other than a yamaha YZF-R6, i now know, it could have been a fatal mistake to buy a powerful bike as a first one. Now I have my eyes set on a Ninja 250, a bike that has been in production for 17 years unchanged because it is concidered one of the best starter bikes ever made. A similar story with the Honda Nighthawk 250, which has been pretty much unchanged since the 70's.

I dont think the ninja 250 is a very pretty bike, but i know its the right place to start, and is plenty fast to bring me years of enjoyment for a fraction of the cost (literaly: $3000 new, ultra cheap insurance, 74 mpg)
