Im taking my test in 26 days and buyin an 02' ducati or ninja. Either a 250,350,450. I haven't looked into them that much but my dad's finace's 2 sons just each bought one and got good deals. No payments, no interest for a year and $50 a month after that. And i only owe $750 on my 7 so its all good. The main reason im buyin this is for transportation until the 7 is done. The oil seals are shot and im getting a J-spec engine, so finally i will have boost, i play on running a haltech too and plenty of other goodies. Its going to take a year to do this project, and i plan on having it kill my bike. And im outta school in 2 days so i need to work and get some cheese.

 

Welcome to the team... why they hell you buying something so heavy??? and do you mean 250, 600 or 750?



I wouldn't waste your money on the 250, better off buying a used 600 before you buy a new 250. My wife is currently learning/riding my old 600, you don't want to start too big, but you also don't want to outgrow it in 6 months.







S-U-Z-U-K-I

 

Dude, don't even bother with a 250, they SUCK, plus you look like a ***** riding one!!! Get at least a 600. I agree with phin, SUzuki's are nice handling bikes, good ride too. I suggest a GSX-R 750, but maybe you should start with a Katana for now.



Man I miss my bike

 

I agree as well, don't do the 250 you will be sorry within a month.



I wouldn't do the Katanka either, Air cooled, low on power compared to everything else in it's class. I'd do the Zuk or a Honda CBR.



I almost both a 929 last year and every nice day out am kicking myself ever since. I bought a car instead.

 

I have been looking on the net and as u guys have said i think i'll go with a 600. I like the ninjaz and the cbrs... hmmm. Whats everyone's fav here?

 

I ******* loved my ZX-11, I miss it so much

 

This post makes me want to start on bikes. I always liked the idea of revving past 12,000 RPM with no problem.

 

You can do that with a rotary...if you build it right.

Thats one of the reasons i like my 7 so much.

Back on the bike deal; I'm only 5' 7' and i weigh 145lbs. Im no big guy, how the hell am i going to kepp one of these big *** bike ( 600-750) from tiping over? I think i need to get a smaller one, even though most of them look kinda week.

 

dude your not that small i've seen smaller guys on 1000cc and bigger bikes so you shouldnt have a problem on 600 or 750.



me personally i would go with the 750 gsxr you can pick up a 99 or 00 for about 3-4k in perfect condition.
