Suzuki are very good bikes but I prefer Honda because it's better quality.

@moorebiker13 your 14, lets not lie you do not ride a motorcycle

i like the kawasaki, couse of the low handlebars, and I really love a bike with its handlebars, with its steering bar a bit lower than the Hondas cbr 600 (for example) :)

@HypermaxZ well all you need is so skill with a bike and respect for the bike becuz im 14 and ride a 1998 honda superhawk 996...so its a 1000cc and i have never crashed it or layed it down in anyway

Word. I read a lot of people on the internet, saying a 600 would be too wild for starting out. But when I talked to many people in person, the opinions get shifted around. I personally will be starting out with a used Yamaha R6 after proper safety classes and taking steps on getting accustomed with the bike and then later on trade it in for a R1. I know for a fact going to a R1 is crazy, but fuck going through many bikes, I personally would be content starting out w/ 600

[xcantt0uchth1sx]

i think its funny how everybody argues whether or not a 600 or a 250 is a good starter bike on EVERY motorcycle video on youtube. truth is? there really isn't a good answer. its like being a democrat or a republican. jesus, its peoples own decision. get a 600, or dont. simple as that. the facts are a 600 has more power but the rider doesn't have more experience. end of. you can argue all day about where to start but those are two clearcut facts that will never change. do what you want

Thanks for the tips everyone. Unfortunately I already got the Busa and i'm taking it easy but I quickly found out it's not the bike I have to worry about but the other drivers in cars that pose the biggest risk. It is super fast but I don't have the balls to open it up yet only on long open roads. Thanks again...

@antoniovese75 A litre bike can turn a skilled rider into a lazy rider with poor technique, imagine what youll end up like with no experience? get an old cbr600f or something similar, bigger than the latest litres and requires a bit more skill to ride fast.

@antoniovese75 Does it really matter if you look stupid? A 600 from a decade ago is twice the size of a modern litre bike anyway and a much better starter bike, big bikes arent dangerous, yes they will punish you more quickly than a smaller bike but a high side is a high side, big bikes let you get away with being a shit rider, you have to work an r6 to go fast, an r1 will make you look fast if you coast through the corner, gun it down the straights and leave it in 6th all the time....
