buy a cheap dirt bike if you don't know how to ride.... get the basics down on that... or even a small 250 street bike... just to learn..... then buy the bike you really want after you know how........ only thing i can tell ya.... unless you want to get an R1 and just go from there..... that's pretty much what i did.... but i also took a motorcycle class to learn the basics....

It's been said before, if you have to ask about the bike you are buying to see if it is a good fit for you, it's not, so don't buy it. Look abid...most of these guys either learned years ago on dirt bikes or much smaller road bikes, some not even sport bikes, and they did it for a reason. You want a powerful machine for the looks of it. Dumbest thing you can do, especially at your age. No one on here is trying to dis you in anyway, just save your life. If you want a Yamaha, go find a FZR6, Katana 6 or even a YZF600R, somethign with a little less power. Save the big guns for when you are older and a bit more experienced.The best looking bike on the street doesn't mean a lick of difference to anyone if you are 6 feet under.

Hey guys,
its not like that.i alwayz wanted to buy a fast sportsbike.It was a dream of me that i will be riding my sportsbike bike and listening to some musics,sometimes going to a highway ride with my best friend lora.But dreams r dreams.looks like they never come true.
I never rode a motorbike before.But I can ride a cycle well.i am 15.5 now.I will be 16 in this june.I wanted to buy my bike next year.I started going to gym and i wanted to start basketball from next month.coz ridding a that big bike needs alot of power and u have to be tall.on the feb2005 my matric exam(Something like O level) will start.I wanted to buy it after the exam.there is no bike ridding school here.So I have to learn ridding from my uncle.then i wanted to ride his 80cc bike for about 2 months for some expiriense.Then i wanted to buy my bike and ride it well.this was my plan.
but it is not that easy.I dad says "No bike".he says u can drive cars but no bike.So i have to convince him and this is the hardest part.but I still had some hope that i will do it some how and make my dream come true.but..............................And i just have 5-7 years.coz after dad I have to jump into business and marriage and this and that lots of stuff.in that time i have to switch to cars coz of those complicacies. but now think i have to say good buy to my dreams.

anywayz,thankx to all u guys.u all tried to help me.I thank u all from my heart.looks like now its time to say good bye.take care u all and ride carefuly.and sorry to u all for disturbing u all and writing this boring letter.
Sorry again
bye

No offence...but seriously, is this a joke?

Last thing...if you get one...and I ever ever see you riding down the highway with your best friend lora and you are wearing headphone, i'm kicking your ass.

Ya know. Driving a smaller CC bike still has that cool factor. If that's what you are after. You think it looks cool riding, wait til you start riding. If you get a bike find something in the 600CC class. There's tons of hot bikes in that class that would give you a helva ride, and at the same time not bust your balls as bad as a liter bike. Good luck with your decision.
