yamaha and honda stick to 600 and 9/1000cc bikes

you'd be better off starting w/ a 600 cc, especially at 5'5 it's a little smaller for you.

but is the GSXR 750 a good bike because i looked through alot of most and yall almost never metioned or talked about it. And is it fast to be a 750 since its between 600's and 900's-1000's?

The GSXR 750 is an awesome bike...I was looking at one recently but have decided to go w/ the R1...only 2 I considered since I didn't like the feel of the 954RR

this was your first bike?


and to EG: i would not get a 750 as your first bike let alone a brand spanking new one. I would get a cheap and used 600 or lower CC bike. read here on why http://home.earthlink.net/~the...l.htm because im too lazy to explain.
