sinbad1995 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I suggest a 500, no smaller. you'll outgrow it quickly & be lookin to upgrade in a year or so. take the MSF course, they use a lot of too-fitties. if you do well on them ,you're ready for bigger. good luck.

c. waldrop Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 thanks again all for the advice and tips. after seeing the many suggestions for the sv650, i will be looking for that to be my first bike.now on to the next step: where can i find one at a good price?id like to keep it under $4k and lower miles. color and other aesthetics arent too important at this time.so if anyone knows of such item, please let me know.

c. waldrop Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 ha! craigslist will be the reason i get fired. i was at work for 11 hours and spent 80% of it either reading reviews/forums about the sv650 or on craigslist looking for one.but theres only three listings right now. and ones just the frame. ill keep looking.

EvilTwin Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Go with a Kawi, that way you don't look like everyone else who rides a CBR or Gixer, more original. No offense to people who ride CBRs and Gixers, I just love Kawis more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisknight Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 yo! Don't get anything under a 500 IMO. You'll outgrow it quick.The sv650 is great! ...But, If I were me, (and I am) I would get an R6. That's just me though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyTim Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I started on a Yamaha FZR 600, I have seen a few of those on craigslist too. Other than the FZR, +1 for the SV650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollFace Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I still have my first bike, a Ninja 500R. It is definately a good starter bike, but I definately think you could handle an SV650. It's all about the rider. Welcome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRader95K Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I started with my 95 Katana 600. People say not to if you have no experience. But who cares. I learned immediately, never had a problem. So get a nice 600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
