Which bike would be better for a first time rider
I am 17 and I want to get a bike and I don't want something that I would lay down over and over. I was thinking of getting a R6 or a ninja. I have already had and rode a R6 and know what to expect. What other bikes do u reccomend I take a look at 10K spending limiit

Don't drop it.
Frankly, the chances are extremely high that you'll drop your bike. It's simply a matter of time. With experience, you'll remember what situations can lead to a possible drop and you learn to deal with it. What you can do is get frame sliders which can reduce the likelihood of damage to the fairings.

If you're only 17 and plan on paying for your own insurance, then I'd suggest getting an older bike - the insurance is less damaging to your wallet. Virtually any current (95+) sportbike will have insanely high limits, so it comes down to what you like looking at.
