i am buying my little sis a bike for her 16th birthday (aren't i sweet?). but here is the thing. i learned to ride on a 900cc and i did what everyone would expect me to do. i cracked the trottle everywhere, trying to show off and laid it down more than a few times. luckly i wised up before i killed myself. i dont want her to get the smame idea. i cant be there all the time so i want to get here a bike that is "cool" since she is in HS and all, but also can't/won't make doing a 150 down the freeway on one wheel any easyer than it has to be. maybe i sound a little over protective, but its my little sister.

do you really want to be responsable for her getting hurt?

is she hot no but seriously i would never buy anyone a bike crazy **** happens and its just not the best idea for a younger kid the mentality can't match the power.

letsride

I sound like my dad but, wait till she's 18


+1 on the dirtbike idea though, especially if she hasnt ridden before.

Maybe you could get her a 250 and get her signed up in an MSF course.

bigbadbrad

i though you cant have anything higher then a 250cc until ur 18? Either way get her a 250cc. I'm shooting for one. Those things should top out a 110 I hear.

ratherbewalking

and you cant get just as hurt doing 110? or 80 for that matter?

DBOUNCE1

get her a ttr 125

bigbadbrad

o, well I'm just saying since he said 150 so I'm just giving some info I hear.

I'm with the majority, 99% of 16yr olds have no business on a sportbike, actually, most people at all don't, but that's why we live in america. My advice would be get some kind of small cruiser, like a 125cc Honda Nighthawk. Not only are they cheaper, but they are extremely under-powered and generally forgiving.

unfortunately the power issue isn't the problem at stake a new rider on the streets with a bike that cant get out of its own way can be a problem too. the biggest thing is that if she freaks out and cant stop or gets cut off and eats it its hard to live with that

Big Jim

get her a 125 dirtbike and see how she does on that

rUu

get her a kawi. those things are sloOoOoOoooow.







nah, srsly. if you do decide to get her a sportbike:
1. get full coverage on the bike
2. get a life insurance policy on her
3. stuff socks in the airbox so it can't breathe.
4. start sayin' prayers, cuz that **** is either gonna get stolen or wrecked.

werd to that!!!

blacklincoln

dirtbike first for sure..
im not sayin ladies cant ride but when i was riding tuesdays last year i knew 3 girls that went down within one month one of them right in front of me from grabbin a handful of front brake

actually i think everyone should ride dirt first anyway it gives you good reflexes

Scott-

U Must Not Care For Your Sister Much Just Buy Her A Hand Gun And Tell Her To Play Ruusian Rulet Retard

Mkae sure she always rocks good gear, even if it's hot or she feels stupid wearing it.
