well, your guys motors were probably all of about 20 times the size of his.. Most cars can pretty well break 100 fairly easy. I'm sure wind resistance holds that little 1/4 liter motor in check.

lol. yea I know, but it was still pretty funny to out run a "rocket" in a v6 cutlass.

I have 8 times more motor than my buddies cbr600, but I guarantee he would still OWN me in a race.

I'm wanting to buy a bike this summer, and I was considering the 08 250R. I'm still debating on that whole 250 thing though. The extra power of a 600cc would come in handy on the highway, but that's about it. Other than that I think a 250 would be sufficient in town, at least for me. I don't need to do 90mph+ in a block.

Just went to go get it insured... and for full coverage it's 17 bucks a month. I don't know how much you guys pay, but I about shit my pants, lol. That's on a 200 dollar deductable, too. Yayy. How much you guys w/ bikes pay?

whats your age and record?

imo, go with at least a 600. they are still fuel efficient, have low insurance, and are fast as hell. I personally think 250's are more for people who just want to "look" like they have a fast bike idk though. I want my first bike to be either an R1, a GSX-R 1000 or a busa so...

If I get a 600 I'm thinking along the lines of a suzuki SV650.

I see no point in getting something like a busa for a first bike though. IMO that'd be more of a poser move than someone who buys a 250.

why's that a poser bike? I like the fact that it's fast, but I think its one of the nicest looking bikes out there.

Re-read, I said poser MOVE, not bike.

1000cc for a first bike //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

gotcha, Technically the r1 is only 998cc, and the gixxer is only a 999 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif.

I'm a go big or go home kind of guy I guess. I wouldn't want to settle for some little bike to learn on cuz I know I'd want something bigger and faster later.

I'm the same way with my car, I could have done all kinds of little stuff right away, but I'm going big right off the bat.

I got a gixxer 750 as my first bike and its been good to me but I need to move up to a newer 1000 so if anyone is looking for a 99'750 red/blk let me know......IMO its a better starter bike than any 600cc....you will want more power and will get tired of the 600....750 will give you a better feel for a fast bike for when your ready for a 1000-1300....
