The side fairings alone on Ducatis bikes cost $2,000 that would really suck droping one. and maintiance is much more than a jap bike

Ducati can be a pain in the neck to own.  Not quite up to par with the other imports for reliability, harder to get serviced, and expensive when service time does come.

I think Buckwheat called it right on.  Check out the Suzuki sv650 or the sv650s; v-twin power, reliable, tons of fun, and cheap.  The "s" adds a mini fairing and slightly more aggressive riding position.  Awesome commuter bike too.  Ok, I'll get out of your thread now.  :smile:

I'm looking to get a bike in the near future, too. As I have until recently had zero interest in motorcycles I have very little knowledge of them (other than from a technical pov). Hopefully some of you who know what they're talking about can give me an idea or two of what to look for :grin:

I'm looking for something purely for transportation, so I don't really care about looks or anything fancy. It will also be my primary transportation, other than a bicycle (I don't have a car or license for one). I know enough about small engines to do most of the repair work myself, so I'll also want something that doesn't have any fancy or hard-to-find parts.

It'll definitely be a used bike, and probably one of the cheaper ones I can find.

I think I want a classic style street bike. No sport bikes or cruisers. I'm not very tall, only 5'7, so I don't want anything huge that I'll have to tiptoe on. Also not very large, 120 pounds, so nothing too heavy. Speed isn't a big deal to me, but I don't want something slow. What is a good cc range to look for?

Any tips are much appreciated!!

Trendal- the "old standby" for what you described is a Kawasaki Ninja. 250 or 500. I'd stay away from the 636, even though it looks a lot sharper, it's a beast if you don't feel totally comfortable on the bike. You can get a used 250 for under 2k, but make sure you get one newer than 1996. For commuting, if you feel you can handle it I'd recommend the 500, if only because it has a bit extra power on tap in case you need to pull away from a tailgater or pass someone at highway speed.

I'm looking to get a ninja 250 this summer too. I know it doesn't go much faster than 75mph, but that's fine when all the back roads max out at 50mph.

I'm 5'9" 150.

I plan on getting a honda 250 rebel. you can get them hella cheap used.

I know alot of people don't like the bike, but personally like the styling.
plus I've had friends who owned them and never had a complaint.
they are nto fast but, that's not what I'm looking for.
I just want to cruise.

an R6 is WAY too fast for a first bike. They are rated at 133hp, which is more power than most econoboxes.

I would reccomend looking at the GS500 if I were you, they're plenty fast but not quite as crazy as an R6. They are also cheap and easy to work on.

Look into the nighthawk 250 too or the nighthawk 750 if you plan to do highway.I personally would not go on to a highway with a rebel/nighthawk 250 for the city 250's are great but i drove a rebel 250 in my msf class and it would actually be dangerous in the highway. Poor brakes/suspension for highway speeds and no power to get out of the way.

Yeah I was just looking at the rebel 250 and it seems just a bit under power for what I want.

I'll take a look at the nighthawk 750.

I started off on a Rebel 250 and went from that to a CBR 600. That bike was insanely fast!

Sweet! You have one of the RR models? I bought the red/white/blue '93 F2. That was the last year of the F2. I got it new off of the sale room floor. That bike was sooooo fun to ride, but I was stupid and wrecked it.

I want to get a Harley..I think it would be so badass! I bet i would get all kinds of women just wanting a ride on it. I am not interested in the idea of having a bulletbike...it sounds like bulletdeath to me!  :crazy:

whatever they are called they are death machines...I know i would try and see how fast I could get the fucker to go and i would get into a wreck at 130 MPH + and die. I am more of a laid back person compared to the way i used to be. Being in your mid-thirties will make you that way.

I agree w/ everyone that says to not get a "learner's bike" the first time I ever rode a motorcycle was my uncle's honda st1300, something like 1100 cc's, that was a big bike, I rode dirtbikes for a lil while with friends but never owned one and a couple summers ago I got a Suzuki GSX-R, I've torn ducati's assholes open with that bike, it's 900 cc's plus I installed a fogger 150 shot of Nitrice...one insane bike, I've forced cops to let me go on highways before cuz they couldn't keep up.
