hey im looking at buying a sport bike in the spring / late winter. What things do u think that i should look for to dertemine value. Also what is some things that you guys believe might be something would tell me not to buy this bike. Im looking at a 02-05 kawa ninja 636 so if any of you have any hints or suggestions it will be greatly appreciated. Also im looking at bikes that have not been stunted

 

if ur going to stunt it id go with an 03-04 636 and but 05-06 636 front end.... but u should look for an older f4i

 

if it turns over the 1st time you try to start it youre golden. just about

 

look at the manufacturer, make sure it isnt a suzuki, that about sums it up.

cool another paintballer going to stunting if you want a kawi get a 03-04 and but 06 forks on it or do what im doing and get a F4izit:YEAH

 

you DONT need a 05-06 front end.

 

this bike really isnt going to be a serious stunter... but it will have some wheelie time. therefore im really not going to do any crazy mods such as change a fork or a crash cage...

 

if it's your first bike buy something a little older. you WILL drop your bike at one point or another being a new rider. get something that is in good shape but a few years older so the price is lower on it. you don't need a brand new bike or hte latest and greatest to learn on. you'll actually learn better on a bike you spend less money on and aren't so worried about scratching or whatnot. spending a lot on a minty perfect bike the first time takes the fun out of riding.

honda makes great bikes. you can pick up an f4i or 929/954 for a good price and they are great bikes for a first bike and will last a long time. compaired to other manufacturers they have less mechanical issues so more good time riding less time working on them.

 

DON'T buy from a stunter.....they all throw their bikes down, burn off the tires, constantly sit on the rev limiter,.........

.....if you DO buy from a "stunter" ask em how often they change their oil...if they say they ever have, they're lying! hahahahaaaahahahahahahahaha

 

then buy a suzuki leave the RR's,f4i's and the ninjas for serious stunters we need the good bikes!! regular riders can stick to the others....

 

so true

i had a penske oil salesman come up to me the other day and give me a card, "if you ever need any oil give me a call". i said, "i dont' ever CHANGE my oil, i just top it off occasionally with whatever i have lying around". ahahaha

 

r6's are good overall streetbikes

 

the fantastic4 : gsxr,f4i, 636, and the r6. First bike I'd stick with the 600 class. 12 seconds in the quarter mile is still plenty to kill yourself.
