Yes I have heard all that before. I learned that if someone wants to do something, they are going to do it. I won't sit here and spill to show you the right way to get into this sport, a sport a consider MY sport.

Just take the advice from more experienced, and take the advice me and jebus have given you.

If not then good luck

I definately appreciate the advice you guys are giving me. Im gonna look around and see if i cant find something in good condition to drive around at least for a while. Thanks for the advice.

and manny your sig scares the hell out of me lol.

if/when i ever get my first bike it will the Ducati Monster 695.

they are called SPORTbikes...

and you don't need to start on the baddest bike in town. just get a cheap beater, and ride that for a year. you can probably sell it for what you paid.

out of the two, i would go with the Honda...
but the 636 is better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I have an 05

Its the first bike i will have personally owned. One of my friends has a cbr600 (like an 04) and i rode it pretty much every other day last summer. Just couldnt afford my own so i mooched off him hah...but still might go with the beater bike to start. We will see and i will post pics when i get it.

Ever thought of riding in the dirt for a few months? You can get a 250 2 stroke for about 2K, ride it 10-15 times to get the feel of riding without cars around, then sell it for about 2K.

My opinion might be tainted by 30 years of dirt riding, but I think you will learn more about controlling a motorcycle by riding dirt for a little while than you'll learn in years of commuting. Makes for a much faster learning curve, IMO...

Thats a really good idea, ill have to see if there is even anywhere to ride around where im at. I live in the suburbs so im not sure where the closest place is.

nothing better for a first ride than a ninja 250r

You need the fastest straight line bike there is. Oh, and it should handle in the corners. Killer. Rad!
