I love them but I rode MX most of my life and when I got a street bike I rode it like a cross bike and got me in a lot of trouble....for the first week you will be a lil scared and cautious then comes the want to do wheelies for miles and stoppies and all of that real smart stuff. I was lucky thats it. They are fun and a gixer 600 is a great bike with plenty of power for a beginner and a great balance point for doing wheelies

svtkidd23 · April 1st, 2009, 01:31 PM

yeah!! i want one... just finish up my truck..and pay stuff off.... than... ill buy a bike.... when i got some dough in the bank..

i just want it for nice days... easy on gas...like 55+ mpg... and... fun...

Go for it. I just bought 2. Just be careful out there and buy something used. You'll probably drop your first bike. Look on craigslist for bikes and if you go to look at one make sure to bring someone that rides with you to check it out. Dirtbikes/4 wheelers and motorcycles are 2 completely different beasts.

You say that now.....just wait.....also the first thing you need to buy for a bike is nylon frame rollers....they bolt to your frame so when you do drop it doing that first wheelie or rolling burnout it wont screw up your plastics....

....saved my bike a few times and a lot of friends and they are super duper CHEAP

707Stang · April 1st, 2009, 02:05 PM

yeah they're called frame sliders. great investment, and along with MX once you build a lil confidence next thing you know your governor is pegged and your digital speedo is reading 160mph..... true story.

95StangMX · April 1st, 2009, 02:17 PM

frame roller, frame sliders.....I say tomato you say tomaato.....lol

93hatch · April 1st, 2009, 02:26 PM

i went to the bank yesterday and got approved easily but the insurance is 240 a month at the cheapest place so no bike for me

mrsidewayzz · April 1st, 2009, 02:52 PM

bikes are fun. make sure you check the weather before you go riding. post pix and buy it!

gooberhead320 · April 1st, 2009, 02:52 PM

i thought you were getting a truck. dude make up your mind lol..

im actually talking to my step dad about getting his motorcycle running. think it just needs a couple parts and its a really nice bike

MyGT · April 1st, 2009, 03:57 PM

i <3 my bike, unfortunately it's getting to the time of the year where it rains every damn afternoon

Lefty · April 1st, 2009, 04:07 PM

OR........

You could buy a mustang

buddyantunez1 · April 1st, 2009, 04:08 PM

dumb riders give us a bad name. but generally its no the bike you have to worry about, its retards on the road that are constantly trying to kill you.

KaotikGT · April 1st, 2009, 04:15 PM

a sport bike is nice for sure, but a 600 is like buying a v-6 mustang, people say they want a starter bike but you get tired of having the slow bike, i've seen plenty of people start out on busas and they do just fine. but if i was you i'd buy another stang

the problem with that is that majority of people will prolly drop the first one at some point and no one wants to drop a busa. 600 is plenty safe and still gives u a good ride.
