I am looking at getting a good starter sport bike, The roads that I live around have alot of curves.? |
I would like one that can handle easy since I know nothing about bikes but have always wanted to try them out. Not looking for power just something that I can learn on. all of the smaller sportbikes handle easy the curves around your house are not the place to learn though because WHEN you do drop there are too many things to hit take a course then decide what you want in a year take the advanced course then move up Suzuki SV650s. Hands down. light - handles easily. it does have plenty of power when you are ready to turn it on. first off if you've never owned a bike b4 then theres a good chance that you will drop it a few times while learning to ride properly, it can be tricky. so i would definetly get a used bike seeing as how cheap you can get one thats in good shape with low miles. a bike that is great for the curves and sharp turns and would also be a great started bike with not too much power is the suzuki gsxr 600. the sv line is not considered a sport bike but is also a great starter bike although if handling is your major priority then the gsxr would be the bike for you. you started on the right track. the Motorcycle Saftey Fondation describes a beginner's bike in many ways. the first (most important) criteria that a lot of beginner's ignore is the bike is not a beginner's bike and can not be used for beginner's safety courses if it is above 400cc. You have stated that you are not looking for power, well I know from my little bit of experiance that I can pass most 650 race replica bikes on my Kawasaki EX250 in the Twisties, and that is staying inside the 80% envelope. (MSF course="never use 100% of your abilities, when you do, thats when you will need another 20% to get out of a hairy mess") Below are three resources on what the MSF considers' beginner's bikes, not what squids(Stupidly Quick, Underdressed, Imenantly Dead) think are good beginner bikes. these are all 250cc bikes that you will most likely see at your Motorcycle Saftey class. in most states, you will walk away from the course with your M class driver's license. the EX250 is by no means a Beginner's only bike either. it is the same bike today as the 250cc motoGP bike it was when Kawasaki stopped racing in the 250cc class. adding steel brake lines will give you the look that the 600+ posers want, and at the same time increase you ability to stop the bike effeciently. insurance varies by many factors, but I can almost garantee full coverage for less than $130 per month. (almost). and for your first bike, always buy a used bike. you will dump it. it is better to dump a $2,000 or so used bike than the $5,000+ bike that posers and squids will tell you to go buy new. Keep the rubber side down, and ride safe. Good beginner's bikes: http://motorcycles.about.com/od/roadtest... Motorcycle Saftey courses: http://www.msf-usa.org Kawasaki Ninja EX250 Rider's Club http://www.ninja250.com You tube video: the cam is on a 250, only mod is a Muzzy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkgwilmkd... I suggest a MSF sponsored class. This will lessen the chance of you getting hurt. A motorcycle is very dangerous when you don't know what you are doing. The class will not only teach you how to ride but also will teach safety techniques. Bike suggestions nothing above 500 cc. Get a used bike. Check your local listing or bike shops and best time to shop for them is outside the riding season depending on where you live Used Ninja 250. |
