[quote][i]Originally posted by Tom[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by VXR[/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] Appreciate the point you are trying to make, well sort of. My mate started off with a rs125 when he was about 17, took about 5 years out and did his test got straight onto his gsxr600 rode it perfectly and 8 months down the line he's got a tl100r riding it fine. Another mate got a ninja 636 (his brother) for his first proper bike same scenario both fine. My mate sold his old gsxr to this 19 yr old lad (who was gonna use it as a track bike) he got killed on his apprilla rs125 last weekend doing an estimated 28mph basically his road positioning was all wrong and was hugging the kerb and didn't see a car doing a u-turn (on a main road) and he hit it. Point i'm trying to make is you can get experience on a big or small bike as long as your not a tearaway idiot (& also people driving cars are always gonna be a danger). I don;t think there's anything wrong with jumping straight onto a sports style 600, you are still well capable of killing yourself on a sv or a bandit 600, you may start rambling that the touring style bikes are more forgiving but a new rider on either shouldn't be trying to put it anywhere near the limit end of.
