Recommendations on what type of motorcycle to buy?

asked:


Okay, I’m planning on buying a motorcycle of some sort when i turn 18. I REALLY like the Suzuki GSX-R600′s and the GSX-R1000′s. Im also a fan of the Ninjas and the Yamaha R-1′s. If you own any of these bikes let me know what you think of them!
-Thanks in advance!

    Nice knowing you.

    Unless you’ve got a lot of experience riding – I would suggest getting something older, that way when (not if) you drop it, you won’t destroy a nice new one.

    get the R6

    year 2000+

    best choice

    the R6 performs better than the R1 from people i have talked too.

    if your oriental then get the R1

    if your anything else than oriental, get the R6

    If your 18 and you plan on getting a 600 or a 1000cc bike, you are in for a real surprise. I have been riding dirt bikes for 10 years and about a month ago I rode a 08 R6 and it made me realize why so many young people get hurt on them. They may look like the bike for you, but starting out on it could lead to bad things. My suggestion is to get something like a KTM 530, they are easy to ride and have tons of power, not to mention a whole lot less heavy.

    Big Dog Motorcycles the only way to go

  • Bart S

    The Honda CBR600RR is better than the Suzuki
    The Yamaha R1′s have a fuel mapping issue where the throttle dies at a certain rpm, (its leaned out too much for lower emissions)

    I would highly suggest either a Yamaha FZ6, FZ6R, or a Suzuki SV650S

    Sounds to me like you need to take a MSF class, buy a starter bike and ride before you step up in size. Get a feel for the road and cycling before going to for the big bike. Riding for a while well teach you what you like in a bike and what’s important to you. When you’re ready to step up, you’ll know exactly what you want (and what you don’t like).
