kaw's are cool... best bang for the buck... you could always spend 500 bucks and just get a 70's bike to learn and ride on..

*downshift_sideways* · 10-27-2007, 04:37 AM

Kawi's are great bikes.

Heres mine:

Sweet bike, unfortunately not streetable. 2 strokes are old technology with poor emissions. Fun as shit, just not legal for the street. Well, to a certain extent, my friend has a 70 something yamaha 2 stroke street bike. 350 screaming cc's of power, lol. Now if he could get the title for it, I think he could probably register that.

Farzam: I don't think getting on a friends dirtbike is the way to learn. I had some riding experience, and got onto a dirtbike. A few minutes later, I'm limping back to the bike that was stuck on a pile of wood with a healthy sized branch goin thru the radiator, the rad shrouds broken off and some other small shit was fucked up. Did about $800

worth of damage. I mean, if ya got money to blow like that, go ahead, lol. Just be careful(to everyone).

Anyhow, the more you know before you hit the road, the more you can concentrate on the other assholes that are out to kill you.

Annnnddd. A store called Cycle Gear(80 locations, so there's probably one relatively close) gives out free stickers sayin "motorcycles are everywhere" or something like that. Get one, put in on your car, put it on your mom's car, put it on your girlfriend's car, anybody who'll let you put it on there.

Don't worry about your sister's car, I got that one

One last thing(s) lol.

Painted lines, as mentioned above are a bitch. Tollbooths, are the WORST. Everyone who's car leaks oil goes thru them, and stops, and leaks, and continues on. So when you get there, stay away from the middle. Try not to put your foot down in the oil too. It's tricky, but I like to put my left foot on the curb, and try to leave my right foot on the peg so it doesn't get oil all over it.

Fully street legal my friend.

89dc240 · 10-27-2007, 01:16 PM

Damn! And in Cali?!?! I'm an asshole. How did you do that? I have to do that, I'd rock the fuck out of a CR500 on the road.

First off I meant 1/4 mile. Don't know where my head was. It has been edited.

I can't find the link after 15 minutes of googling. I saw it on some crotch-rocket site where they had the basic specs (HP, 0-60, 1/4 mile, Redline, top speed... ) for every motorcycle to be made in 2008. Honda CBR600RR was 9.96, GSX-R600 was around 10.1?

No link but yes I saw dragtimes.net and yes you're right. mid to high 10's for professional riders.

GSXRJJordan · 10-27-2007, 11:22 PM

^^^ I looked at this, and wasn't going to post (because it's already been said), but there's no way that a stock (even lowered) 600 is running in the 9s. The Hayabusa ran 9.94 in ONE magazine (the rest turned low 10s) when it debuted...

Anyway, keep the dream alive Zilvians, if you want a bike just take the class to figure out which type of bikes you want to ride, and save for your first one. I'm still waiting for the first Zilvian Bike Lesson though, somebody's gotta be new and wanting to learn to ride better...

anthony240 · 10-27-2007, 11:50 PM

if, and i mean IF, I get a bike from a dealership, would they let me ride it outta there without a license?

Andrew Bohan · 10-27-2007, 11:56 PM

i didn't need a license when i got mine. heard most places don't care.

Honestly they dont care.
They ask for a valid drivers license or I.d.

eastcoastS14 · 10-28-2007, 06:03 PM

go get ur permit.....it takes like 10minutes its a written test easier than the one to get ur car license

wootwoot · 10-28-2007, 06:04 PM

quit being a pussy and just get one a these

Andrew Bohan · 10-28-2007, 06:22 PM

barf. it's like the z32 of sportbikes.

aznganstah · 10-28-2007, 06:46 PM

Here's my SV650S

This is my first bike and I love it a lot. I ride it whenever I can. Definitely I would recommend this as a first bike. But like some of the people said earlier, just don't be careless with it.

Like people mentioned earlier, take the MSF course, you'll learn a lot from it

Andrew Bohan · 10-28-2007, 06:58 PM

where did you get your fairings from?

aznganstah · 10-28-2007, 10:03 PM

the fairing came with the bike when I bought it from the previous owner...

you can buy them online but they are pricey imo

Andrew Bohan · 10-28-2007, 10:54 PM

yeah like $500ish from a dealer.

prolly just go with aftermarket

at least the oem ones come with factory paint

Mehhhh. I'd describe it more so as the Buggati Veryon.

Its not to pretty, its heavy, its one of the most expensive bikes, but its faster then damn near everything else stock for stock.

Z32's werent really that fast...

Andrew Bohan · 10-28-2007, 11:47 PM

i was thinking more of the weight and ugliness

skithesteel · 10-29-2007, 12:16 AM

I started riding this spring and learned on my sister's EX250 while I was rebuilding my '78 Kawasaki KZ650 for my first bike. The only thing I don't like about my bike is the weight, seeing as how it's about 480 lbs dry ... sitting on and riding the 250 after being used to my bike the last 4 months is like sitting on a bicycle, the weight difference is huge and it is so much more maneuverable.

My next bike is going to be a Triumph Street Triple, just have to go put down a deposit on it. It's a 675, but I really don't see a need for a liter bike (for me, at least). There's no way I would be able to trust myself something with that much power for the street.

Here's my KZ..

Oh and FWIW I took and recommend the MSF course.

The only thing I did was provide the craigslist link. It's for sale going for around $7400.

Have you even checked out the new CBR600rr? Probably not... the 2007 Honda 600rr was rated the best 600 of 2007, had the beefiest hp and tq curve and was the lightest. It also tied the r6 in the 1/4 mile.

Honda came up really good in 2007 with the new release of the 600rr.

wootwoot · 10-29-2007, 11:02 PM

The Honda is still less powerful then the Yamaha but I'd take the powerband of the Honda anyday. Hondas are always known as being more forgiving and comfortable. Look at that nasty curve on the Yamaha, no fun
