GTblackprodigy · August 4th, 2007, 02:40 AM

hey ..well im thinking about buying a motorcycle..the only one im interested is the yamaha r6 ..the only problem is alot of people are agaisnt it and i just want to hear your guy's input on it...i know im young(19) and this will also be my first bike..if i do decide to get one i do plan on taking the msf course and riding safe..i have to intention or interest on trying to do stunts...but i do think it be cool to have my mustang gt and sportsbike...havent decided yet though because my mom is too worried about it and so are my friends..what do you guys think?

sAJ1420 · August 4th, 2007, 02:44 AM

R6 for your first bike FTMFW

oh and if you get one its gotta be blacked out, like so........

GTblackprodigy · August 4th, 2007, 04:34 AM

do you own a r6?..and i would prefer the blue and white one..i think that would looks sweet..but the black one is cool too

HMUSN · August 4th, 2007, 01:04 PM

buy a beater for your first bike.

99% of ppl drop their first bike

i h8 to say it but... buy an old honda sports bike.... they're cheap, and have 250cc ones.. my friend bought an r6 and layed it down like 20 times... and it was just supposed to be a starter bike... then he got a lil cheap honda to practice on til he got good enuff 4 his 600 (which he's still not ready to ride)

Chicks like Harleys. What is better then that?

Tony_90fox · August 4th, 2007, 04:56 PM

600 really is a perfect all around size...

I got my motorcycle endorsement the day i turned 17, but i have been on them all my life....

If you have NEVER been on one, EVER, i suggest getting a 250, or practice a bit on a dirt bike...a 600 can get away from you just like a bigger bike...

Just be easy with it at first, and BE CAREFUL...I suggest a nice jacket, gloves and helmet...Boots or at the least high top shoes until you get the feel of the bike. And dont forget to put your feet down...lol

And i suggest taking a motorcylce riders course...I did it, basicly for fun, but i really did learn more than i did before...Go to your local dealer and get more info.

Nice, donate your organs before you buy it. I cna' tell you how many very qualified M/C drivers have met thier end due to a blue hair or just some other supid ass whipe that can drive a car/truck. Just don't do it! Get a dirt bike!

thanks..yeah i do plan on taking the motorcycle course and buying all proper gear..im thinking of buying a 03-05 yamaha r6

Tony_90fox · August 4th, 2007, 11:08 PM

Cool man, good luck, be careful, and lets see some pics when you get that bike...YAMAHA FTMFW!!!!

sAJ1420 · August 4th, 2007, 11:14 PM

nah i dont have a street bike.. i ride dirt. i dont feel like having my life taken by someone elses stupid mistake that i cant control. but my neighbor does have one, i whip it all the time and love it. my sisters bf has a 97 yamaha 750, and the R6 would OWN it. but yea man if u dont know how to ride dont just go hop on a nice r6 you WILL drop it, everyone i know that got a bike without really knowing how to ride messed it up in the first few months, get a dirtbike for 6 months and learn how to ride before you get a bike.

maybe you will realize how much sicker motocross is and just stick with that

Tony_90fox · August 4th, 2007, 11:19 PM

I never got to race my dirt bike, but they had local track nights and I went often...Damn, i wish i had raced....Dont have the time now.

Do you race sAJ?

sAJ1420 · August 4th, 2007, 11:22 PM

i used to. i dont right now tho, work too much and put too much money into the s4 to race motox anymore. i still ride a lot tho on the weekends and shit, go out to the tracks when i get time.

Tony_90fox · August 4th, 2007, 11:43 PM

More advice...Wait a bit before doing this! lol

Tony_90fox · August 4th, 2007, 11:44 PM

And that pic is old and i was skinny so shut the fart up! lol

sAJ1420 · August 5th, 2007, 12:15 AM

wheelies are sick, once you find your balance point they are unstoppable. dont do them on a 4 stroke too much tho, my buddy used to do them alllll the time on his 4 stroke then the motor blew, due to oil not being cycled right when the bikes tipped back.

Tony_90fox · August 5th, 2007, 12:49 AM

That was just my play bike...Had a 250 KTM, loved that thing! Wish i didnt sell it, but i didnt ride it much last year when i left for college. Turns out i had more time than i thought, but spent the money.

I agree with everything said here. I ride an 05 Yamaha WR450 and its plenty fun for me. I don't want to put my life in the hands of some old fart who desides to pull out in front of me.
