@cryteeek faster than you're legally allowed to go on the roads.

@lexxx666777 Its better to start on a small bike, one mistake on a hayabusa will be alot worse than a small bike. The small bike will make you a better rider as you'll acutally learn to corner, and you can rev it it'll be more fun

@lexxx666777 CC's don't really matter, its the weight that does. Like I said my bike is a v-twin sport bike so its very narrow and light. Its also a street-fighter style of motorcycle (upright position, has actual handle bars, useable power for the street). So learning on it was pretty easy. Of course I took it easy on the throttle and just tried to find the balance of the actual bike the first month or 2. Just cuz you have 130 rwhp doesn't mean you have to use it all the time.

@KTM990WFO Now this is good. I mean interesting.

Now does it matter how big you are? I myself is 5'9", 160lbs.

Does it mean i will look like a little kid let's say on 250cc? And if i buy Hayabusa as my first bike after taking a basic and advance rider safety course. Or is it going to be a hell of a bike for a guy like me?

Seriously though 250cc, just sounds like a moped :) lol :) not a street bike.

I myself is green as hell. the only thing i know how to ride is a bicycle :)

@lexxx666777 My first street bike was a KTM 990 Super Duke. A 1000cc DOCH v-twin monster that weighed about 450 lbs. I haven't wrecked or dropped it (yet). The bike will only go as fast as you tell it to. Buy the bike you really want, not some 250 you'll get bored with and sell in 6 months (and you will). Be sure to take a basic and advanced rider safety course and you'll be fine. Don't be intimidated by the CC's. Just pay attention to what you're doing at all times and respect the power.

Ahahaha..I started with a heavy tuned aprilia rs 125 and it was much faster than the ninja 250 on straight road and corners. Then i had an suzuki rg 250 2stroke, also much faster in straight road and coners than the ninja 250. Anyways, there was no different to handle a 250cc compare to a 125cc. To buy a ninja 250 is waste of money. Now i have an Yamaha FZR 600 from 1995. My advice, start with a heavy bike. The basic, u learn when u take the driver license

An analogy might be sports. If you wanted learn baseball it's one thing to hit a ball off a tee but an inside fast ball is another. In other words you need to get the fundamental skills( shifting, throttle control, braking, turns and curves) along with getting used to two wheels and the required muscle memory before moving to a bike with little or no margin for error.

@lexxx666777 You simply learn more on a smaller CC bike than a larger one. Think of it like this. Getting a 125 or 250 is like starting with basic math, getting a 650-600 is like starting with multiplication, a 750 is like starting with algebra, and a 1000 or bigger is like starting with calculus. There are a ton of everyday things a rider should learn on a smaller bike before moving on to a larger one.

I've been riding for a few years and started on a 125 dirtbike, which was a good path imo.
