New Rider ForumsJust joining the motorcyclist hobbie? Looking to get some information about a first bike? Or have some newbie questions. Are you new to the website?
Well ummm ....... Flame suit on**** I started on my tlr and it is known as the widow maker and might be one of the most dangerous bikes out there but i am still alive you just have to ride smart go slow and learn.
IMO you will die doing 60 on a 250 just as fast as 60 on a 1000+ bike

thats really a mute point, the point of starting small is to reduce your chance of seriously hurting yourself buy grabbing too much brake/throttle in panic situations.
true but i have had a few "pull outs" and such that puckerd my butt up but i think the dual disc front brakes helped me out alot better than the tiny 250 brakes would have but i dont know other than a 2000 gsxr 1k this is the only bike i have rid. throttle i can understand because this is a wheelie machine and you really have to try to keep the front down rather then most people trying to get it up on other bikes

Remember, you are still starting -- when did you start riding that bike again? I'm not saying you are going to die, but I am trying to say that it's not credible to claim that it's a good learners platform if you're still only a beginner.
last fall.... I would never say its a good starter bike no way in hell! But i am older and a old soul to begin with so i am just saying its not instant death if your smart and have self control thats all

Your theory is flawed. The speed isn't what gets most riders killed. It's panicing. Then having a bike that makes the situation worse when you get on the throttle or brakes hard.
And just because you did it doesn't make it a good idea...

Correct. But I think it's that combined with how fast it get's you into trouble too.
I mean 60mph is 60mph whether on a 250cc or a 600cc. It's just that the 600 gets you there MUCH faster. Those extra 3 seconds or so can be a life saver.

a 1000 is bad enough for a first bike, but stretched, lowered, and obviously has some amount of engine mods on it, what a death wish. although i learned on my bros 1000RR and my bro-in-law's superhawk 996, i still wont move up to a 1k after going thru 2 600's and prolly a few more.
For real? That's not what I heard. What about if it's all chromed out with a sick Shoei frame slider?
Nope. Sorry.
You should have got a 600. We get all the p%ssy.
Sometimes the p%ssy is riding the 600.
Sometimes it's around the 600.
I just want to be where the p%ssy is so it's all good.
