Re: Help SportBikes

Why wouldnt i go with a R1 or R6? They are pretty cheap. there was an R6 in easton for 3200. and a guy at my work is selling his Honda CBR 929 RR for $5k

Literacy and reading comprehension is your friend.

None of those 3 bikes are starter-bikes. Start on something more docile and easier to handle. I also hightly suggest you attend a motorcycle safety course, you will learn a lot.
