600cc or 1000cc for starter bikes?(The never ending bike search thread!!)
yoshiii replied to yoshiii's topic in Tech and Tips
My instructor suggested that I get at least a 500cc bike. He noticed how I was having problems on the small 250 bikes at the class and he came up to me and suggested I get sometime bigger, said it would be easier for me to ride. -
Hello I am new to riding, passed my Ohio Basic Riders course a month ago. I am 6'1" and about 228lbs. I am looking for a 600cc bike to get for my first bike, but as I am looking, I am finding some 1000cc bikes the same price or cheaper than some of the 600cc bikes I am finding. I am going to buy a sports bike like a R6 or CBR500rr or 600rr or maybe even a Suzuki.

oh ok lol I plan to wear full gear, helmet, jacket, gloves, proper boots or motorcycle shoes, thinking about getting pants too.

What is a LEO?

I think that hi viz colors like blue or red mixed with white will be better for the day time as mentioned above. I agree with hi vis like the yellow for night driving and gray, raining weather is good. I did a experiment where someone used different colors and moved the colors passed my peripheral vision and out of green, orange, and the hi viz type yellow, I noticed the green, orange much more than the yellow. The yellow blended too much into the background. I didnt know when or what side the colors would move into my vision.

Hello What are some good colors to wear for good visibility to other drivers? I know the construction yellow and orange is noticeable, but are their other colors that will work well? Does white blend into the background too much?
-
Wow thats a big difference in size, especially the tire.
-
Not hard to handle?

Thanks Dont want a crusing bike, at least not for my first bike, maybe a second bike. So my weight and height is not a big problem it seems for 500 and up bikes.

Hello I am a new rider and just completed the Ohio BRC. I am looking for my first bike. My instructor suggested I get a 500cc bike, he pulled me aside and mentioned this to me after he observed me during the class. I think the 250 bikes that we were using was too small for me. My knees came up to the gas tank. I am 6'1. I am looking at 300, 500, and 600cc bikes. I want to buy a naked bike or a sport bike. I want something to enjoy riding and I will use the bike for daily commutes. I have watched many youtube videos of people saying that if a person buys a bike that is too small in the beginning, the person usually outgrows the bike quickly. I dont want to make that mistake. Any suggestions.
