Im am about to turn 16, and i would like to get a sport bike in the near future how can i convince my parents?

i have ridden dirt bikes and love the feeling, plus the great mileage of bikes. though my mom is a physical therapist and wants nothing to do with anything that can go fast. my dad had a bike in his twenties and thirties, but says i can not have one while i am in his house, also my mom has witnessed people who have been in serious crashes, and that is another reason why i dont ask her just yet, i also plan on having an explorer to drive in bad weather and other situations, any suggestions?

i havent even asked either one of my mom, but i know her answer, and i dont want to get on her bad side about the whole situation

w8 till ur 18 and than do wutever u want.

dats wut i did. my mother is a doctor too.


PS. its not the question of IF you are going to crush, its the question of WHEN and how bad?
i've crashed my 1st bike 3 times, and lately i got hit by a car.

Ask if you can get a scooter. If they say yes then get the ninja 250 and tell her its just a scooter that looks like a motorcycle.

Look for a Motorcycle Safety Foundation riders course in your area. Take and see if you like street as much as dirt. Convince your dad to go to maybe he would become an ally after. I know that sport bikes are nice but maybe compromising with your parents to get a small cruiser might help them change their mind and then upgrade after you get some experience on the street.

Best thing you can do is educate yourself on safety until you are the master of safety on a bike.

thats a hard thing to do if they dont support riding. my parents think its cool so its easy. but you'll have to start out on something smaller and let them kno that. then after they are comfortable with that you could upgrade

me too. i'm 16 and i want to get a yamaha R1 sportbike when i'm 18. i have a '07 yz125 and have ridden for a long time. i told my parents i wanted to get one and they're like "HELL NO!!!!!!!"

they think that everyone that owns a motorcycle is going to at some point crash it and die. but, once i'm 18, with my own money, it won't be their choice.

if your parents are anything like mine you will never be able to convince them. but you can get your way.

this is my idea

tell your parents you want to join the marines. go all threw with it, bring them forms and ****, go talk to a recruiter if you have to. tell them your signing up. if they dont want you on a motorcycle im sure they dont want you in the military. when it comes down to it. and you are about to sign up. come home and say i was about to do it. but i saw this guy on this motorcycle and decided i would ride a bike instead. they will be so relived a bike will not seem nearly as bad.

the only way to make it seems descent is to go stronger, then back down to a bike. if you try this crazy idea let me know if it worked ; )

first off i have been riding since 1978 and licenced as long for motorcycles. you really should take a motorcycle safety course to learn how to ride safely. start out as has been suggested with a cruiser in the 650cc class. if you have never ridden on the street then a sportbike is a bad choice. i started out on a cl175 honda then a 360 yamaha, next a cb750 honda , a suzuki gt750 triple, a gl1000 gold wing ,
gl1100 gold wing , gl1200 interstate and currently a gl1200LTD.every 2 years i take a CHP motorcycle safety
course just as a refresher. i take the motorcycle license test on the bike i own. i always pass. remember this"CARS DO NOT SEE MOTORCYCLES" PERIOD!

Same problem dude.

All I did was:
*Convince your parents that you can ride responsibly & safely
*Tell your dad that you can share your new bike with him, that'll do

I've been riding for 6 years and 'only' crashed 2 times. So you won't get serious accident if...
you CAN ride a motorbike, and
you CAN keep an eye of cars around you(which love to kiss your bike in high speed)

Well it is your dads house and kind of looks like he allready gave you the answer.
