I know, i know; the very commonly asked "first bike question" but i need help finding a first bike.
I know about the 250/500 ninjas and the gs500f from Suzuki are all great beginners bikes. I'm really leaning towards a 2008+ 250 ninja because I like how short and light they feel. But I have a few opinons from my other friends what to get. My friend tells me to get a older 600cc bike such as a 98 katana; My other friend is teling me to get a gs500f to start off with because i will get tired of the 250 real quickly. My main use of this bike is to commute and I would eventually want to go on the highway with it. Does anyone have a suggestion on a bike that is less then $3000 and is a good beginner bike (600cc)? |
