Is there a bike forum that's as informative as honda-tech is for cars? I'm looking into purchasing a bike and want to make the right decision. TIA.

 

The is a a bunch of info on this forum. Just read the " To all beginners/newbies asking about getting a new bike" thread adn search around. Most of the info found on the other sites can be found here i would think.

Actually all 3 are pretty objective towards newbs and have alot of info on making that first choice. IMHO. if u have say 4k, buy like an 01 600/750 right now, if u dnt have money and would be financing, get 04s for rockbottom prices now. 600/750 max. Starting on a litre bike, possible, but honestly, is the increased chance of killing yourself worth it, not to me, anyway, hope it helps, make a smart choice, and make sure to read a how to buy a used bike, should you get one.
