That is a good beginner bike as well. Also works well for bigger guys.

And like i said. Im not telling anyone to do what i did. I said the opposite, DONT DO IT. Dont get too personal next time you "flame" someone. I do value my life and everyone in it. I'm just a huge adrenaline junkie and i like to take adventures. Not a pussy about things. Its all good though i knew it was coming. |

^^^ Yeah, the only beef I have with the 500 is it looks way outdated whereas the 250 looks like any other crotch rocket.

Nothing personal. But you need to have better judgment, be responsible and don't be overconfident. A street bike is not the same as a dirt bike. If you are an adrenaline junkie, then just take it to the track, and go as fast as you want, in a controlled environment with paramedics on stand-by just in case the worst happens. When riding on the street there's too much going on and too many SUV drivers texting on their cell phone and cant see you. And if on top of all that you are going too fast and unaware of your surroundings you increase the chances of something bad happening.

I agree that the 500 is not the prettiest bike around, but at that point all you should be thinking about is learning, who cares if the bike is ugly, more than likely it will be dropped anyways, some simple mistakes that new riders make. Once you get good then you can move to something else and get something that looks good with the confidence that you will not drop it trying to turn in a parking lot.

I agree with you, let me apologize to all the members here and specially the motorcycle riders, and more than anyone to iBoost. We are all riders and we share one passion, riding, the thrill and the freedom. We need to stick together because no one else cares about us on the road. I try to help new riders all the time. I enjoy giving then advice and seeing them progress in their machines.

HAHA wow what not great advice... I agree with mr iBoost and that long 929 story. Big bikes are not the way to start. My first bike was a 99 R1. Key word is "was". I did not have respect for the bike and was stupid. Well al it took was a lil to much throttle coming out of a turn and no more bike.
As a side not I dont think there was any need to flame him or call him an idiot. He is sharing an experience with the OP as am I. I know I was an idiot but sharing is caring man!!! Sorry did not read what you rode afterward, im an idiot. |
