[QUOTE]Thats one of the reasons i like my 7 so much.
Back on the bike deal; I'm only 5' 7' and i weigh 145lbs. Im no big guy, how the hell am i going to kepp one of these big ass bike ( 600-750) from tiping over? I think i need to get a smaller one, even though most of them look kinda week. [QUOTE] < my ZX-11 was close to 600 pound wet, but it was also over 130 hp, Im 5'8 or so, and about 165. If you buy a smaller bike, youll bore quickly of it. |
Yea you can pick Honduh's up pretty cheap, especially the 600's.
And I can't think of any sportbikes off hand that are 600 to 700 pounds, that is insane for a sportbike, a Hardley yes, I know the Kawasuki's are heavy, but even the 1100 isn't that heavy. |
GSX-R 750 Dry Weight 365
GSX-R 1000 Dry Weight 374 Kawi 12R Dry Weight 468 Honduh 954RR Dry Weight 370 Just a quick run down on the weights. |
No the weight was closer to 500 lbs, I got it brand new in 92, sold it over 6 years ago, give me a break, lol. Had a V&H SS2R on it ( got it polished of course), carb kit, electric shifter, oil by-pass kit, timing kit, it was a animal. At the time it was the fastest and the quickest stock bike made, now I dont even know whats out there, after losing 2 friends to motorcycle accidents, I kind of lost interest if you know what I mean.

I always liked the looks of the Suzuki SV650. I think it would be a great first bike. After a year or two you could trade it in or sell it for something bigger. I kinda like the naked bikes, plus your insurance would be a little cheaper I believe.
http://www.suzukicycles.com/sr_02/sp...650_silver.jpg Speaking of, the Ducati M620 shouldn't be too bad of a bike to start on, from what I've heard, and Ducatis seem to maintain their value nicely. I was thinking of buying one, but I don't make enough money to really go for it. I may soon be getting a 1976 Honda CB750F Super Sport as my first bike. I'm stoked! |
The problem with a duck is the money to maintain it, parts cost a fortune and they tend to break more often then japaneese bikes... not that I don't like ducks but that is definetely a consideration.

My old ZX-11, before I removed the decals and before I put the smaller chrome letters on and smoked windscreen instead of the purple one.
