I like the Ninja 250R Im looking at getting one for my first bike. Another bike that seems great for taller riders is the Suzuki drz400sm would you recommend it for a first bike?. I cant pick! Guess Ill test ride both.

Hiya, I’m 23 and am currently riding a yamaha yzf r125 , which I have had for 10months now. I feel very comfortable on this bike and now find it very slow . I am taking my test in August and am very keen on the R6 and the CBR600rr or perhaps the fireblade. These are light bikes and I love the style. I can’t find any smaller cc bikes that I like the look of and I just become disinterested in them. Do you think the r6 or Honda would be suitable for me? I am 5,9 and light.
Thanks Chlor

I’ve committed myself to making the jump to motorcycles. It’s been a few days and i’ve eyed the ninja 650R, as a new rider this may be a bit much at first in regards to power vs. experience, but that is not my main concern. As i’m in the military i’ll warant all the required safety material and riding safety courses. I’m 5’9″ 185 lbs. The gas mileage is good and i’ll be making a lengthy commute on a daily basis (mostly highway). I still have several months before i’ll actually purchase a bike and begin learning. I’d gain some confidence with advice from all of you. Thank you.

A friend of mine who is a pretty experienced sport bike rider advised me to get something less than 600cc which I would normally full heartedly agree with, but as someone said earlier, they’re definitely on the smaller side and I’m 6’2. My friend suggested the Honda CBR600F4i…..something about it being different than the normal 600 which makes it easier to ride maybe? Another friend has the Yamaha FZ6 which I’m told is more of a multi-purpose bike. What do you think?

I have not ridden a motorcycle for 17 years. I rode, off and on, from age 14 to 24. I’ve owned a 1983 Yamaha 650cc Seca, a 1984 Yamaha V-MAX, and I also had access to a Honda 750cc Chopper- bored out with a 930 kit. When I was an active rider I took the V-MAX and the Seca to their limits. BUT, I don’t know where to start again, after 17 years of not riding. I’m confident in anything I do, but I don’t want to be unintelligent in this area. After continuous research, I still can’t get a feel for viable bike options to get back into ridding again. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi there, I have started motorcycling and I am looking for a bike that will suit my limits, I dont want to kill myself with 100hp+ monster… I have been looking at the hyosung gt650r, would you recommend them for a beginner? Compared to the ninja 650 and sv650. Which of the three is best? Im 18 years old. I looked at the 250cc bikes, but I know that I will get bored of it easy. What would recommend for me?
