Opinion on Bikes
-
would you guys say that a Kawasaki Ninja 250R is a good starter bike to ride for one summer then sell it the next year and buy a bigger bike? Im thinking that if I get into the reserves this year, ride the bike all summer, get to know it, get a feel for 2-wheels, then go through basic next year in the summer, come back with some cash (signup bonus) and buy a bigger bike after selling the 250R...I like the Ninja's, was thinking 650R as a later on bike...Im saving up cash from now till summer, then im going to see where I am and either, buy a bike, turbo the Z, or do both depending on what I have. I just want to know if a 250 is too weak, or is good enough. Any other bikes that would be good starter bikes?
thanks

you dont learn by riding a slower bike you learn from not being a moron.
take me for example, first time ever riding i rode a gixxer 600 around my moms old complex. thought i was invisible, and layed it down pulling out onto the main road.
next summer, on a different gixxer 600. i wasnt paying attention on 45th, car cut me off and i locked up both wheels and layed it down. my fault. after learning i havent had a single issue since, and ive ridden a few different bikes in all categories.
a slower bike isnt going to teach you how to ride. if you not cofortable on a bike, then dont get one. if you want to start slow, get a pedal bike.

I'd say either start on an older 600 or even an SV650. You'll get waaaay to bored with a 250. Buy what you can afford now and just don't be a dumbass on it and you'll be fine.

My budget is up to 4K, seeing as thats how much a new 250R is, I want a bike this summer so I can get into it early and be comfortable with them.You can get plenty for $4k. I'd suggest a Suzuki SV650. It's light, easy to ride, inexpensive, easy to modify, and they look pretty damn sweet. Plus the sound of a twin is awesome!

Im supised you will have all this extra money left over after boosting your car, since you have promised that would be done for the last 2 summers....

Wooo SV650 FTW!! the only bad about the SV is that its torque as fuck. The bike is pretty retarded at picking up the front end at almost any speed. Once again get whatever you want, just don't be a stupid fuck on it.
Edit: On a side note my SV might be for sale this coming the spring, mint condish.............
