hey guys good idea for a first bike? My friends made me straight fear going fast on a bike so no worries on going outside my skill threshhold, but I'm kinda heavy and was thinking an vfr750 would be alright to learn as apposed to a 600 then moving up to it.

The VFR750 should produce more torque than a 600. The VFR has a v-4 with shorter piston travel giving a lot of low end torque. The VFR may not be as fast but it should move away from a stop pretty quickly. I don't think I would go the VFR route either being a new rider? But that's me. If I where going to own a street bike I would def pick the VFR with it's more upright position rather than a race replica bike.

I'm not sure how heavy you are but you may want to start on a 500 Ninja or the 500 Suzuki. Maybe even the new 650 Ninja, I've heard they a pretty forgiving.

09 Buell Firebolt XB12R. This thing is a Torque Monster. My third bike, went from a Kawa 750 to a 750 GSXR. The Buell is the better hands down. Not as fast as the GSXR on the top end, but pulls like a train down low... I dont need to do 150+ anymore. Maybe I'm getting old

Thanks. Yeah I'm like 220lbs. I'll keep those bikes in mind.

man I'd love to have a 2stroke bike. damn EPA. also I don't think shorter stroke gives you more low end torque....

[LB.Motoring]

Heres one to fap at.

I have a 72 cb500 sitting at home waiting.

I was thinking Sidi. They make white boots.

they look like Sidi boots to me too. maybe corsa or vertigo

2 stroke street bikes had no low end torque. But had massive top end power.

Last bike
2001 GSXR 750


bike I used around the paddock.
1987 YSR 50

I've got a 1999 Ninja 250. Currently thinking about a re-paint to go along with an upcoming carb rebuild Any good ideas?

[payney8]

My '90 K75S

If you ever decide to sell that, please let me know. I would gladly ditch my KZ1000 for that bike.
