Default Best bike?

I have a question for some of you motorcyclist, I will be buying one in april for my birthday and I am trying to find a good first bike. I was thinking around a 750cc any additional help is appreciated.

for a first bike you should probly stay around 600cc, 750 is close but 600 is a little safer. anyways..... the new kawasaki ninja 6r is really nice, quite a bit of changes for the 05 model, reall nice, then the suzuki gsxr6 is a good bike too


ive been thinkin about gettin a bike also, my choice would be the new ninja 6r .....

I know guys who have the GSX-R6 and guys who have the Yamaha R6...either one is an excellent choice.

When I get a bick it will either be a Ducatti 996 or a Hyabusa

I was planning on getting one too, and just use the tib as a turboed weekend car.


Do most of the bikes start out pretty high?
Would you say used or new..?

have you ever ridden a bike before? cuz a guy at my work has been riddin professionally for like 15 years now and he says the ducatti 996 he has is one of the hardest bikes to ride way to powerful to get traction without slicks

if i had a bike i would probably kill myself trying to go 100 down the crest...
