[650r]

"I've been reading a few threads in this newbie forum as I've been interested in bikes alot lately. I've considered selling one of my cars for one (own both a 00' Honda Civic and 00' Chevy S10), however, the info I've been reading here is very discouraging. I couldn't come to sell my car for a bike that my Civic would literally blow the wheels off of, but I'm not out there to get myself killed either. I consider myself a responsible defensive driver as I haven't been in an accident since I was 15. Why is it so hard for one to learn on a used 600rr, a bike I would actually want to own? A friend in the cube across from me at work went from dirt bikes to an '02 Yamaha R1 and he hasn't dropped it yet."




you can get a used 650r for around $4k...nice bike to start on and you can mod it out without having to mortgage the house.
