want a 600cc SS bike for a first bike?

the only thing I would add is the "I have a small penis, I NEED a big bike" theory of bike choosing. applies to veterns as well as noobs though...

Uh-oh. Ed's starting his start small campaign over here

actually the logic i used was "if i can handle a seventy two ton tank, i can handle a bike"

you'd be surprised. the M1 is easy to learn but TOUGH to operate smoothly actually i found that my time in airplanes was what had the most in common though that was more in the scanning and awareness area

One of my first bikes was a V-Max. IDK,typically,I try and talk new riders out of 'Busas,literbikes and 750s. If you can talk a guy out of a 'Busa and into a Ninja 250,you can probably also talk him into holding his Mom while you ass rape her!!!
I am only willing to be hypocritical to a point. You'll never get me on a 250...

howd you like the max tiggs? ive always wanted one. rode a gz250 a while back, i honestly cant imagine learning much on that thing. its barely even a bike to begin with

Digifox · 11-11-2008, 08:29 AM

Hmmm, im an ignorant asshole. . . and i took the advise against EVERYTHING i thought and got a Baby ninja. . .

And i dont really see WHY everyone thinks they need to start on a big bike. . . .oh wait i wanted to get an older 600/750. . .

But seriously to any newb. . .get a 250 or 500. . . . . . they really are faster then you think . . . and ALOT cheaper to fix then a nice SS bike. .

Yes they may be pretty and people look at them differently then say a baby ninja. . .

Besides a 36HP EX250 is plenty for someone learning. . . . dont need anything over 50HP

Cue the "I started on a 600 or bigger and I was fine" folks...

(Seriously, go watch a half-dozen MSF classes and tell me most of 'em would be okay if they just respect the throttle...
