hey if thats what you would like to do then do it. the jackets and gloves are padded anyway sometimes to much feels like your in a metel suite. if your not sure if you like it then go buy a scooter for like 2000 and see if you like it. then if you like then buy a bike better to spend 2000 first rather then 10000 for a rocket or 20000 for a harley. i ride a rocket to go fast and then i ride the harley to just criuse around on. also i ride with anyone some people wont ride with certain people/bikes. hey go buy your scooter and we will go cruisin

Wheelies are great...but only when you want them.. You must have a ZX-10 ... I can see how that may be an issue since those are sooo light with crazy torque...

I started with a CBR 600rr . nice bike.... I never rode before prior, I just started riding up and down a side street until I learned. I also had other guys that rode to show me. There are classes around that will teach you for as little as $25.. Depending on your size start with a 600, just keep in mind that these are fast machines, 600's are just more forgiving than say a 750 or 1000. The only thing to riding is riding with confidence and throttle control, of course skill but that comes with more experience. I must say though cars in no way compares to the feeling or speed of a bike..

agreed with the speed factor on a bike. nothing like going 180 on something so small and light. i think jrthomas doesnt care about the speed factor, atleast not yet

yea but for a stock bike its kinda overkill. your not gonna tell me 5th 6th gear you crack it and pull a wheelie. in lower gears yes but not every gear. still looks cool though

i was looking around on cycletrader for some older model rockets in the 4000-6500 range cuz i thought about spending to much for a bike that i wouldnt like and have a harder time getting rid of... i would ride with anyone also just to go out for a ride
