[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by deanmcreynolds26[/i] Go for it mate, really nice looking bike! ideally want to get one myself when i have a full licence! Whats wrong with an R6 for a 1st bike VXR? people gota start somewhere ;) might be a powerful bike, im sure he will take it easy enough till he gets used to the power ;) [/quote] At 21 everyone is moaning about cars being to dangerous.... Yet a 155mph bike, high 11's on the 1/4, yup, thats fine..... New riders, heres some advice.. Start small, learn how to RIDE a bike (thats not goign flat out in a straight line, thats for tarts). LEarn how to ride properly, brakes, lines, moving your weight about, braking while cornering (you think thts easy on a bike, try it, CAREFULLY, or you'll meet the Ditch quite quickly). Again, im not saying what someone should or shouldn't do, their money, its also their life........... I've been riding 7 years now, and now are thinking of upgrading to a better weekend bike, but thats the way i've been brought up...... Its young bikers who buy a sports bike, crash it, then its the rest of us bikers that have to take the crap becuase that young rider is just another statistic......... 400's will nto get boring if you ride it properly. If all your interested in doing is 140mph, then get a fast car, why do it on a bike, a bike isn't about top speed, that really means nothing at all. I've known peopel to go froma 750 down to a 400cc because its more flickable and fun.... Esp on a tight twisty road. And you also wouldn't be asking about fuel :lol: Aye, won't ride it hard, yup, simple blip of the throttle by mistake...... Have you ever even ridden on the road? Vicki Calvert passed her test, bought an R6, couldn't even turn at a roundabout and sold it... Learn to ride properly before buying a good bike. Like cars, start small, learnt eh skills, work your way up. Why start halfway up the ladder....... When you've seen a few accidents, peoples legs wrapped around their head, then you will understand what im saying. And to all those non-bikers with an opinon.... Well.... :lol: As i say, its not my life, and im jsut saying what i've learnt, and still learn every single day i ride my bike. I'll expect the usual shut the fcuk up type comments........ Just because i don't want to see someone kill themselves....... [Edited on 08-11-2006 by VXR] [/quote]
