jbot Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 i'd look in the range of EX500 (ninja 500r whatever) or SV650. I'd say 250, but you can usually find a EX500 for just about the same price range, and they'll have equal resale value if you're buying used.I think the SV has a bit better suspension, but i'm going by what i've heard, not first hand experience. that said, the EX500 was plenty fun on the back roads.

Lost1888 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 shows you how much i still have to learn! anyone have an sv650 they wanna sell?! haha, theres a lot around, but i'd rather buy from an OR member, i'm quickly starting to like you guys(even you too JRMMiii )Sure I'll sell mine for the right price. Maybe something like $1,000,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysonL Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 that dude - i appreciate the concern, but don't worry man! i've got a great head on my shoulders. right now i'm lining up some major scholarships for college next year and know I won't have time to work enoguh to get a bike when I'm down there, so I'd like to buy one before I'm off to the greatest 4 years of my education. that way, I'll have the bike to play around with while i'm down there rather than running around desperately trying to find one!oh and once again major props to scottb!scottb - about to grab dinner with the 'rents right now and i'll give you a call after i'm stuffed.

SAMBUSA Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 am i really that small in terms or sport bikes?! i thought i could at least fit on a 250/500 ninja, katana, or sv650.... are my options more limited than i thought?!A 500 wouldn't be a bad bike but if you really want to be a great rider, get something you can throw around easily. You're a small guy, so that's gonna limit you. Once you've mastered a smaller bike, move up to a bigger bike. You are a prime example of why I think the U.S. should have a graduated license program like they have overseas. I dont say this to put you down. When you get your bike, the DTC will cum over and ride with you. I promise you that you will be exhausted after a very short time and your ass is gonna be killing you And the DTC is a relaxed riding group.uuuhhhmmm yea ,osumj is a girl so yea Are you fucking serious?
