LMFAO at the idiots saying to start on a 600 and a 750. Please do not start on anything bigger then a 500cc.

In his defense i agree with you, but he did not say get a 600cc SPORT bike u could get a 650 ninjaR or a gs500f or a 750 nighthawk those would all be a some what more acceptable starter bike would u not agree? but yes DO NOT get a 600cc sport bike to start!!!!!
But gear is a big deal too as stated i went once went down the freeway at 60 MPH+ without leathers on, i had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my back and needed a skin graph and was in a medically induced coma for 3 days all bcuz i thought it was too hot to wear my leathers that night. if i was in the right gear i would have walked away fine. I still have huge scars and just a little FF (fun fact) for you, if u think oh i wont be going fast or far, so no leathers, 1st degree burns hurt more then 3rd, i found out that 3rd degree kills the nerve endings 1st degree does not, and when they clean out your open wounds with a brillo pad u will wish u had no nerve ending at all.

wow just saw the guy that said start on a Gixxer 750 then get an R1!!!! No defense for that!!!

dam thats crazy man. what happened? were you at fault??

anways yeah no 600cc or up sport bikes (inline-4) its funny cuz a 1600cc harley(v-twin) is alot slower then a 600cc japanese bike. but yeah if you gonna go high in the CCs make it a cruiser or something so its not fast
