SuperHawk Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Didn't know where to put this so I threw it here....A buddy of mine is looking to start riding, but he wants a bike that I'm not sure what it is. He wants like a cruiser where he can basically sit up and whatnot, but he wants it to be sporty looking and a 4cylinder, like 600+cc. He's ridden my bike and other friends, but he doesn't like leaning over so much, any ideas?He's not looking to spend more than $5k or so.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbret Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 How about one of the naked style (like mine).The are pretty much the same as the other sport bikes bike with no faring & they have a higher (MX style) handlebars so the riding position is a bit better.Try looking for:Suzuki Bandit 600Suzuki SV 650Honda CB599Kawasaki Z750 (mine is the Z1000)Yamaha FZ6Ducati Monster 600I'm sure there are others but thats all I can think of right now.

yotaman88210 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 A donkey with racing stripes? That would be sporty ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB12Ss Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 If he doesn't like to lean over much, then what's the point of a sportbike?Why not something like a V-Max? Those things are totally badass... Might be a bit much for a noob... How about a 250 or 500 Ninja? Sell the fairings on eBay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I would not suggest a 1k bike for a new rider. I really think the sv650 is sexy plus its fuel injected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
