Just wanna tell you my opinion

EDIT:

Um...no.

 

English?

 

I weigh almost 200 pounds and almost flipped myself off a 80cc dirt bike...lol. No bikes are weak, except for the obvious ones

 

Lauren posting in this forum?

 

Like Duh!

They have M/C Closed.

 

Judging by the way you type, you will not be able to handle anything more than a bone stock YSR-50, max.

 

Be nice, English might be his second language... How do we know?

 

I'm going to be constructive... ex500

 

srry, just didnt like his attitude about a 250cc being whimpy. (hehehe cause i ride a 250cc, and i cant put that to its limit at all. if i was, i would be racing motogp LOL)

used cbr or a ninja 500 might suite you good.
but id go with the sv650, after listening to all the comments about it. seems like a good bike

 

Here are a couple of pics of my brother's SV650 racebike (a work-in-progress), with the Corona/EBSCO 750 Supersport bodywork.

 

New to bikes + short = drop 5 feet away from driveway!

I'm also short, 5'6" but I feel comfortable on my F4i cuz I started out with a Ninja 250.

 

sv with cowling.... mmmmm.... niiiice

LOL. yes. we're putting the 'tech' back into honda-tech.com. about time

 

I think when people think that, they are thinking the four stroke 250's, and in terms of straight line acceleration.

 

They're right about the 250's, but if you're set on a 600, I'd suggest looking into other options than installing a lowering kit. Even if you get it properly installed (which most people don't) and the geometry isn't totally out of wack, you still end up with less available lean angle, even if you swap pegs.

My first suggestion would be to shave the seat.

Short riders have to learn a skill that us tall people don't, balancing on one foot. You might as well start on something small and get in the habit, then you're not tied to a custom bike. I've seen 5' women ride open-class porky sport bikes. They just slide off the seat slightly to one side and prop the bike up with their leg.

 

Yeah, i understand that but how much straight line acceleration does he want?
it just doesnt make any sense to me. a CBR250RR was more than enough straight line acceleration the last time i rode it.

Naya the Dingo: Where did your brother get the 750 supersport bodywork? That looks bada$$

 

Yes, I think you need to buy a Busa or a BlackBird.

You can never get too big of a bike for your first time

 

ok first of all, im sorry i offended you 250 riders, didnt mean to put you down, if i ever see you around hvae a on me. ok well since i was a kid i did ride alot of 250 dirt bike and i can handle them pretty good, so know that im saving up for my first street bike this summer, i feel i want something bigger than a 250, and because all my friends ride 500 and up, so i dont want to get left behind, you know waht i mean? but like i said b4 im new to moto bikes, so if there is a real fast 250 that can keep up with 500 and 600, then let me know

 

cool
srry for getting pissed, i udnerstand you

Yeah then i guess a used CBR is they way to go.

(P.S. i dont think any of the US 250cc, 400cc motorcycels can keep up with the 600cc but to name some, RVF400R NSR250SP, RGV250SP, TZR250SP, Aprilia RS250 and maybe NS400)

 

keep in mind the differences between a two stroke 250cc bike (e.g. NSR 250) and a four stroke 250cc (e.g. Ninja 250)

 

I want a nsr250!

 

I want one too!!
