Beginner Bike

usafimj · May 15th, 2008, 11:19 PM

Has anyone on here heard of Hyosung motorcycles. Thinking of getting me one for work and what not. With the way gas prices are going I think it'll be good. Thinking of this bike...

Never heard of them...why don't you look at Suzuki if thats the look your goin for?

It looks pretty nice and decent for its price though I never heard of them.

howusay? the 250cc ninja will get 70 mpg but my car is faster than it I think the 250 runs 15.5 in the 1/4 the ninja 600 will go 12s and I think it will get 45 mpg. my friend got one for his first bike and the only time hes dropped it was putting it on the stand

usafimj · May 15th, 2008, 11:29 PM

I like suzuki & kawasaki but for the price and a beginner bike I can't see where i'll go wrong. I won't be taking it to the track or doing dumb stuff on it.

dr.gonzo! · May 15th, 2008, 11:44 PM

I would buy a used one for your first bike

if you want a crotch rocket, the suzuki sv650s is by far the BEST beginner bike and absolute best bike for your money. period. any dealer will tell you that it is an awesome bike for what you pay for. huge aftermarket support and excellent quality. Hyosung??! dude dont waste your money on that pile of shit.

ReverendDexter · May 15th, 2008, 11:54 PM

I would think that a modern 650 sport bike by any brand would be a lot of bike for a beginner.

I've been looking at the Ninja 250, and older (10+ yrs older) 500/600s, but I wouldn't be riding on the freeway at all, so I don't car if the bike is rapped (sp?) out to do 75 mph.

Everyone that I ask says basically the same thing: get a disposable bike for your first. Get something cheap, used, and buy something you like after you've ridden that for a year and laid it down a few times.

This man speaks the truth

Why the hell would you spend 7K on a 250 ninja or whatever they cost when you can spend a little extra and get a real bike I mean COME ON!

Um, a brand-spankin' new Ninja 250 MSRPs for under $3500.

And you don't get a "real bike" right off the bat for the same reason you don't give a 16 year old driver the keys to your GT500.

Drick · May 16th, 2008, 12:43 AM

Well I guess thats true. Ive been riding bikes since I could walk tho

Just never owned a crotch rocket

whitemustang02 · May 16th, 2008, 12:48 AM

IMO a crotch rocket isn't a real bike. i don't care how fast it is.

my opinion of a real bike is something like this

ReverendDexter · May 16th, 2008, 12:50 AM

Reason I'd take a crotch rocket over that: riding position. I'm used to mountain bikes and snowmobiles. In neither one of those do I lean back. Ever. I'm usually straight up if I'm not leaning right over the handlebars.

Drick · May 16th, 2008, 12:53 AM

I would take a Harley for crusing cause ridding a crotch rocket long distances isnt exactly comfortable

don't get me wrong a sport bike would be great for a track, but for just cruising the streets i would take a chopper any day.

and i know exactly what you are talking about with riding position, i BMX and the only time i'm not hunched over the bars is if i am manualing, or just costing around some when and am resting my back

usafimj · May 16th, 2008, 03:32 PM

Well I don't care about the speed or any of that crap. Like I said before I won't be racing it or anything. Just for work and lil things. Nothing special

usafimj · May 16th, 2008, 03:59 PM

I know what you mean by CAN'T get a high performnace bike and not get on it. I'm sure I will but don't plan on getting retarded on it.

whiteboycustom · May 16th, 2008, 04:09 PM
