I just got my license is it good to start up with a CBR 1000 or 600? I heard the cbr is easy to ride on the street so that is why i considering the 1000.

 

Short answer: Dont get a 1000, some people consider 600's ok, I think its a bit too much.

Long answer: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-motorcycles-26/all-beginners-newbies-asking-about-getting-new-bike-585065/.

 

-are you a fatty? if so, the extra power may help you.

-are you a midget? if so, the seat height will make things difficult.

-are you stupid or something? if so, mama says.....

 

Heh, I almost got a VFR 1000 for my first bike, but that thing was a junker, so I got a ZX6R instead so far its been fun and I havent had any problems riding it but yeah maybe a CBR600 would be better.

 

OK, HERES THE DEAL SO EVERYONNNEEEE KNOWS, a 600 is MORE than plenty for any rider whether you're a noob or have been riding for 23049283049283 years. just remember OP, most girls dont know the difference between a 1000 and a 600, so you should be good either way

 

Go for it, just make sure to wear your stunner shades, Ed Hardy Shirt, shorts to keep cool when it's warm, and always wear your primo Nikes, gotta let the ladies know you be fly son.

 

Ask your msf instructor.

 

You forgot to tell him to ditch the helmet. Cause those are for losers.

 

And a helmet might mess up the perfect blowout hair that doesn't move. Ever.

 

lol, here we go again!

 

Why do people always seem to ask this stupid question all the time?!... There is like 2143987923 threads about this subject all over the internet and everyone has their own opinion but seriously just use a little common sense.

 

troll probably, but i say go ahead and start on the 1k. you will have fun.

 

I started on a 929RR as my very first bike EVER, and I've been riding it for 5 months and still going good. Starting on a big bike is not a bad idea if you have some common sense and self control.

 

I actually find that 1000cc supersports are a bit tame for todays new riders, just not enough "Umph" for day to day riding, or heaven forbid, to get out of the way in a tight situation. I think he would be better served on a ZX-14, they are easily the perfect starter bike.

 

^ more than a grain of salt....

 

Oh come now, a 200HP bike that cuts 9's in the quarter mile is perfectly suited for new riders, you just have to "Go easy on it"

 

didnt they tell you in your course what to start with? Anything over 600 you should stay away from, though I started on an sv650.

 

Hayabusa, perfect bike for a noob.

 

fyi the new 2011 ZX-10R has 207hp at the crank.

 

better get some aloe-vera and bandaids for that soon to be road rash.. no worries it wont hurt so bad.. mama always said what ever doesnt kill ya makes ya stronger. no?!?

 

wait till you try and take a shower for the first time... YOOOOOZA!

you'll be shed cornflakes in a couple weeks.
