???750 or 1000???
hey everibody, great to be a part of this site!!!
Ive spent about 2 years and maybe 2 hundred hours on my homies gsxrthousand. Ive gotten real comfy with it and for a 17 year old I handled it pretty well. I can yank up weelies and pull endos on it pretty well, ive never spilled on it (my motivation is that hell kick my ass), and ive gone 160 comfortably yanking through traffic on I-5. I hear its suicide to learn on a 1000 or anything above a 750, especially if your young... does that mean i should buy a 750 after i get out of my RTC? I hear that all the time from family and friends, so im just asking the experienced many on this site.

Preciate your imputz!!!!
i smell a troll...
if you're serious, you should not start on an SS bike at all. (read, anything that resembles a motogp bike and is 600 cc and up). try a ninja 250 or 500 or a suzuki sv650 and you'll probably learn a lot faster. going fast in a straight line is easy. learn to do it in the curves...

no for realz im just wonderin if its stupid that i learned to run instead or walkin first ya know wat i mean I just wanna know if i will gain more experience if i purchace a 6 or a 750 first; my firend dat owned the bike just let me ride it he never taught me. I applied wat i knew from watching dirtbike videos and street racing to learn shifting and clutch play and stuff. I kinda picked it up half assed and im wonderin if a starter bike would do better for me... wtf is a troll by the way?

I'm sorry, but if you have anything less than a Y2K bike I can't let you drink any of my Jack Daniels before we go hitting up the twisties. I got a new hat and I want to see if it'll blow off if I ride with it on backwards.
