Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!! Post by: UncleRico on August 20, 2006, 11:23:15 AM If you're getting a sports bike, I'd get the Hayabusa if you're just starting out....but if you're experienced, go for the Ducatti 999.
They're good "STARTER" bikes. Here's some video of my "friend" getting it on a Hayabusa. I hit 240 before, I mean..."HE" hit 240 before he pussed out, he thinks he can go faster. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oqJbWiCxUc0 Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!!

But I think it only goes up to 180 mph. Good luck with it. Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!! Post by: dynodon on August 20, 2006, 05:15:15 PM First off , remember its not a two stroke lol.
Uncle rico, I am not too sure about the the 240 mph thing, after you get over 120mph the white lines look more like a solid line. He was moving thats for sure, just doesnt seem to be 240mph is all. Turbo kid, you better think real serious, and hard about getting on a crotch rocket. IAll I am trying to say is , that if you have never been on a road bike of any sort, it could be a BAD situation. I have had two friends that have died on those, and I am possitive it was mostly to do with inexperience !!! Anyway, be smart, think it through, be safe Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!!

I had a ninja and a gsxr. My b/f laid down the gsxr and I layed the ninja down all w/in a 2 year time frame. We had been riding street bikes and off road for years before. Experience don't mean crap on a road. I sold my street bike and will never get one until we can find a way to limit the number of tourists and old ppl driving on our streets.

I just say be very careful. I loved riding and miss it. I just will not have a street bike down here. Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!! Post by: Hawgin4x4 on August 21, 2006, 03:04:15 PM my friend has the ninja, you are looking at...its a real nice bike to ride for a beginner or intermediate rider.

I wouldnt buy a motorcycle at my age, Ive personally known too many ppl become a victim, Especially in South FL, the drivers ??? ??? Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!! Post by: Headz400 on August 21, 2006, 05:03:26 PM If its your first time on a street bike meaning not that many or no miles on the road your decision of a 600 or 750 isnt a good one. You should start off with a bandit or an sv. 600s arent a "starter" bike. Do your homework before u go out and risk killing yourself.

Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!! Post by: UncleRico on August 21, 2006, 05:29:44 PM And I almost forgot to mention, think of all the time you'll save in traffic.
See, this guy knows how to manuever through traffic... http://youtube.com/watch?v=cdFGAY4Isuc&mode=related&search= OK, I'll admit, there is one part of this video that seems a little risky. I wouldn't be wearing a tinted visor like this guy, that impairs your vision, but other than that, he's really a safe rider. Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!!

Post by: svtbolt04 on August 23, 2006, 02:24:10 PM super motobikes are the freaking shiznitt!!!
I want a KTM sm450 or whatever they call it.. Or a Husky sm610.. Badass bikes man.. I want one more than any other bike out there!! Title: Re: Got The Gear!!!! Post by: Anoriginal on August 23, 2006, 02:25:58 PM I will never own a steet bike because of the ilk that inhabit our roads. With a streetbike, it's not a matter of "if" you wreck, it's "when" and "how bad". It's just a matter of time.
