- Start date
I had 2 bikes.
I started on e 250 kawasaki ninja which was good, but wasn't powerful enough for me,
i had an accident with that so i fixed it up and sold it and bought a new one. I ended up buying a Suzuki GSXR600, and this is one of the BEST bikes i've ridden apart from the Duke's and the Aprillias. R1, though 1000, aren't efficient and are terrible around corners. Honda CBR's are just too small for me.
I recommend an Suzuki GSXR 250 (if your first starting up, don't go anything too powerful, work your way up) and then later on you can get a Suzuki GSXR 600.
After my last accident i havne't been able to ride again (as in, i haven't bothered buying another bike). I will be soon, i'm thinking GSXR 750.
here are pictures of me and my bike:

Like The_One says, start with a smaller bike.
He's obviously a Suzuki fan, and they are nice bikes. I've just started riding, although I have yet to pass my test. My first bike is a Kawasaki ZXR400. As soon as I'm comfortable I'm going to progress to a 600. I want an R6 (Yamaha), as that is the bike I prefer the look off. But there's loads of sports 600's that are very nice.
But first, get a cheap smaller bike, as you may drop it, and you don't want too much power.
And GSXR 750, very nice bike. Someone I work with has 1. White and Blue. :thumb:

^see, the reason i didn't like Yamaha's was the steering (though i haven't ridden the r6, i'm talking abut the r1). One of the best 1000's i've ridden is probably the new honda cbr 1000's. It's light as a mutherfucker, amd it flys like the wind. Scary shit, but fun. I've riddent a hayabusa (the gsxr 1300), and their just ridiculous. Nobody needs that much power
1985 zx6... geez.
And SOFTSTIK, riding a bike is the best fun you'll ever have in your life. When you take off in first gassing your bike hard and you can feel the front wheel just lift... when your overtaking a car around a corner on a 2 way street and you feel a car is coming and you accelearte just in time to squeeze between the cars. 2 go down freeways clocking up 260kmph. It's the best fun you'll have. Going down the road about 60kmph accelerating whilst pulling the clutch and then letting go and the bike going verticle into the air. I'll show you some of the videos of me and my mates from our old motorcycle trips we used to take, i'll try and find them.
All the one's which had me in them have been brought down but i'm still looking. Just the rush is amazing. The best adrenelin rush i've gotten (though it was the most stupid thing i've ever done) was popping a mono through 2 cars as we were all going. i barely fit in there and it was just awesome. Oh and i once was in a near accident which i literally flied for about 3-4 meters with my bike because i was overtaking some car, and the lane ended and the car didn't give me way so i was forced on the footpath, my bike it's the footpath (i'm going about 120 at this stage), and i literally fly for five meters before landing in a bycylce lane.
oh fuck you all. I feel like riding now. I miss my bike. ARSEHOLES

While searching for street race vids on Kazaa i came across this quaint little motorcycle. I've upped it for you kiddies.

yes, that speedo is in MPH
http://rapidshare.de/files/1959047/Suzuki_Hayabusa_-_Modded_turbo_bike.wmv.html
yes, that speedo is in MPHand SOFTSTIK, i don't know how to explain it. It's just not. When you go fast in a normal car you seem to be lifting or the car seems to be getting lighter losting grip. but when you do it in a sports car it doesn't seem like that, it seems like the car is gripping better. Same goes with bikes, if your riding a sports bike it doesn't seem like your going as fast as you imagined. Plus the only time you actually feel the speed is when your accelrateing, when your going a constant speed it's like every other trip.
And cars around are just fun. meaning more zigzagging

YESSSS, finally found it.
This is going down black spur. These are the rides we used to take.
A whole lot of us (Generally all in Suzuki GSXR's) will go down on bike trips for a few hours. SO MUCH FUN
