Question good Beginner bike

just wondering what is a good beginner bike. I was thinking about either an F4i, gsxr600, or a ZX7R. since it will be my first owned bike i don't really wanna go above a 750.

thanks

I don't think that it should make a difference if the bike is bigger than a 750 or not only because the bike is only going to go as fast as you turn the throttle almost like buying a 4 cylinder car compared to a 8 cylinder car and the only problem is that you will get used to a 600 quick and want to get rid of it. A Gsxr 750 is a good bike and 900rr is a good bike if you want to go that big, but if you want to stick with a 600 I would say go for a Gsxr. . . :helmet

Go with a 750GSXR to start

I'd say stick with a 750 gsxr to start. Though DO NOT go out and try crazy stuff at first. Learn how to corner and handle the bike first. No sense in hurting yourself off right away. Just remember, when you do try stunts...you will wreck. We all do. Just where some gear and GOOD LUCK!

Kyle_PBZ is a decent person
If you're not going to stunt, go with a 600. If you plan on eventually stunting go with a 750 or 900rr. But like the others said, learn to ride first!!! Don't jump right into stunting you will get hurt. I've seen it happen. Good luck and welcome aboard.:helmet

ohh yeah I kno i'm def gonna go down and go down hard one of these times.... cause i'm gonna be messing wit it, i wanna get it in early spring so i can ride it allllll the time and get some experience on it so during the summer i don't crash just going to the beach and $hit. . .

I don't kno why i want a smaller bike...i was warned to start off on something small and work my way up... i don't kno... the 900rr's have been aroudn for awhile so i should be able to get them cheap right and parts are easy to come by.......hmmm....

6 hundo to start man....nothing bigger...they can be stunted too, and bear in mind that once you step off the 6 hundred onto a 900rr or 750 or anything, you won't be relying on power for the wheelie since 600s are all about finesse.....

got mine when i was 18 and i promise you if it had been anything faster than an f3 i'd be ******* dead right now...i've had a bunch of close calls not even stunting cause i suck, just riding crazy fast.

if you can keep it under control then get what you want...but f3s are cheap as they come now.....check them out for real. check ebay for f3s for sale, then search parts and **** there is ALWAYS 10 pages of f3 parts to scoop up......plenty of cheap repairs available, and mine has run like clockwork cause it's a honda

oh well, it's up to you, just get a littl emileage under your belt before you go apeshit

600

Well if you end up with the 600 it's still not a bad choice. We've got a guy named Showtime that rips a 600 gixxer like it' s a 1000. Like they say, it's not the bike but the rider. Be safe and good luck...remember...duct tape and zip ties
