600 ninja but they do pull hard.

you should start on a dirt bike or normal street bike.

Get a ninja 250/500. Ride it for about 6 months and then sell it. They have great re-sale value so you won't much money if any at all.

when u say pull hard like ?

 

[mannyb18b]

Don't get a 600 for a first bike. Go with what I suggested, it would be for the best.

k around where i live people at dealerships try screwing u over for one of the ninja's 500's is 3000 ish a good price on one?

 

[mannyb18b]

Yes, specially for a new.

Go ahead and get a used one, not hard to find...because like yourself, there will be other smart people out there that purchased one for a starter bike an then put it up for sale.

I started on a 92 Honda CBR F2 600. Never been on one before, or even a dirt bike for that matter. It lasted me about a year, then I got a 98 F3 600. now on a 02 F4i You learn alot riding on older bikes, and really appreciate the advancement they have made when you move up to newer and better. Its not hard to learn at all, whats harder is learning how to pay WAY MORE attention to everyone else around you. Honestly, the 250 isnt a bad idea, but I wouldn't disagree with starting on an older honda like I did. You don't have to upgrade as soon, you will be learning on something more similar to what you will be riding in the future, and as long as your smart, you will be ok. Definitely make sure you have money for riding gear in your budget when you pick your bike. you need FOR SURE, a quality helmet, AGV, HJC, KBC. nothing outrageous. Just a quality product. and a good set of gloves and a jacket. You will be going down. Its guaranteed, don't know when, but you will. Just make sure you are wearing what you should when it happens and you'll thank me later.
