Anyone ride a motorcycle?
    #22182775 - 09/03/15 12:11 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I'm getting my motorcycle license this weekend and was wondering if anyone rides? Reccomendations on which bike to get?

I ride, what bike depends on what style of bike you like, what you want it for, experience with em, are you restricted by CC or anything?

The moose.. word. those are nice, maybe to expensive though.

Tipssurfer.. Those are both nice bro. Definitely don't want a cruiser to start with.


Puremadness.. I went to the motorcycle shop a couple days ago and i want to start off with a standard street bike. probably under 5k. I want it to ride to the city for school about a 20 minute drive.  CC?

I usually recommend a Honda CBR 500 for total beginners, good solid bikes. CC is the cylinder capacity, bigger the cylinder the more power it can put out per stroke.

I'm trying to restore one and it almost seems like it will be a year before I finish.

I rode it once though and wow it was like flying through the air.

Sounds like you may be interested in an Enduro style bike. On/off road capable. I don't own one yet but when the right used one comes around I'll be jumping on it.

:lol:

No offense, but something tells me you getting a bike is a disaster waiting to happen. You don't seem to know the first thing about them and no weekend class is going to be able to teach you all you need to know. If you don't even know a crotch rocket isn't meant to go off road, how are you going to know the handling characteristics of them? You're gonna get on a crotch rocket and high side it the first time you try to make a fast hard turn.

Either get a dual purpose or a 250cc cruiser. Get them used and cheap, because I'm foreseeing your first accident measured in months or weeks.

I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

i looked at a 250cc a couple days ago. It looked nice.  And like i said before i have never ridden a bike. The course I'm taking is for beginners who have never ridden.  I realize I'm a total noob and going to read up on everything more after the class this weekend. I wish i had a friend close by who had a motorcycle but i don't. lol. if I don't feel on ready ill wait till the next spring to ride,  because i don't want to ride in the winter here in New England if I don't feel comfortable. smugjerry:

Kawasaki H2R would make a good starter bike

If it weren't for the fact that you obviously know nothing about them, I'd tell you buying your first bike brand new is a huge waste of money. It loses half it's value as soon you walk out the door, and it's value is going to drop considerably more as you learn what not to do on a bike and drop it or lay it down. Though if you wanna save yourself a bunch of money get to reading and learn all that you need to check for then hit up Craigslist.

If you get it brand new, treat the road as if it were ice. New tires suck when you're only on 2 wheels. I learned that one the hard way, luckily I learned it while not going too fast.
