Its about 1.5 hours south of chilton, why you gonna be there?

There is a customer there with a 5 axis machine tool that is down. I think when Im done there Im headed to our main office in Chicago.

What is a good looking beginner bike that I could get for about $1,500-$2,000?

I've been saving for a bit now, and should have the money by the end of summer to buy a bike in that range.

Thoughts?

Yamaha fzr600 is a decent bike for that price range.

I'll look into both of those!

But I have been looking at those Kawasaki 250's mostly

fzr600 is way faster and better brakes/suspension/motor. Check out its history

My GF is picking up an 08 Ninja 250 this weekend, gonna be her first bike and I'm gonna teach her how to ride.

I'm hopefully gonna pick one of these up within the next 3 weeks, if the bank every hurries the fuck up!

You are going to love the 998, it's so bad ass !!!
I rode this 998 at Pocono and it was amazing...

do you really think faster is better? he said beginner.

[b*saint]

'05 zx10r will smoke a 998. 181 hp 375 pounds.


And yea a fzr is better for a beginner because its more bike. Better suspension and brakes come with a 600. the Ex250 setup is a joke.

the EX250 is badass, and i've watched good riders demolish people on liter bikes using them.

[b*saint]

Doesnt mean its better than a litre bike. Just means the person riding the litre bike is retarded.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you.

a 600 is a shit beginner bike. too much power. and we all know if the power's there, it'll get used.

[Beastolizer]

I've actually heard that the ex250 is actually a very good bike for only being a 250

Well enjoy your stay in our beautiful state, you'll be pretty close to where they brew New Glarus beer.. Pick up some Spotted Cow and enjoy yourself!

I started on an old 600 and was perfectly fine. After that I bought 2 more 600s, and would recommend them to any responsible beginner. If someone is a reckless idiot they can easily get hurt on a 250.
