I am looking into buying a crotch rocket. I understand that I'll most likely kill myself on the thing but I'll have a heck of a lot of fun on it before that happens. Anyway, what are your preferences on these bikes in the price range up to about $8000? I'm talking used prices here, not new. Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, something else? Models too please and tell me why they're good.

You're pretty much in the same situation as me. Go up about 4 threads to the thread called More Motorcycles (1,2,3). You can probably find some info. there and Cliffio, Cphil, and others are helpin me out a lot. Check it out.

THe first question is, can you ride? Take an MSF course first chance you get. Put the ego aside and get a bike correct for your experience level. bikes are nothing like cars, top speed, acceleration, handling,...etc. All very different. Buying a sportbike is not like buying a sports car. Start reading magazines and checking out websites. Gixxer.com has a pretty informative forum. Be careful and buy lots of gear."Only a generation of readers can spawn a generation of writers"Comment

r1 is a guarantee crash, r6 is a most likely crash.
those bikes are pretty extreme.
if you're willing to take time to learn and not be a jackass, go ahead and get a nice one. that way you won't be wishing you had bought something else.
just be careful and dont get hurt. bikes are sweet.

Ya i am really wanting to get a Crotch Rocket also. My dad said he will never let me get one cause he said they are death traps, but when i am 18 i am buying one.I have been really interested in them for the past few months and my half brothers dad sells them at his dealer ship. And i am going to talk to him soon about prices and such, and if u want to, just tell me what u want to know and i will ask him those questions also and get the answers back to ya.Comment

i'm currently saving what i can and selling all of my belongings to get a bike.
I'm looking at Yamaha Seca II and Suzuki Bandits and SV600s.
I love the look of the naked bike.

You should probably answer that first question. Can you ride? That will probably help with some answers. If you are a noob, don't get a hayabusa.
You don't want to hit 90 in second and have the front wheel come off the ground.

there's a reason nurses and doctors call bikers "organ donors". Looks like to started by donating their brain before the crash. I too am getting a bike someday, but not for wheelies and stopiesOriginally posted by jdpball

You can pic up a used Ninja ZX12R for arounf 8K. Scary fast bike, they ride very aggressive but smooth, and they look killer too. Advice: never buy a cheap helmet, your head is only worth as much as its protection...Comment
