hey guys bein here in myrtle beach and watching all the bikers has got me itching for a bike now, only problem is i dont know where to start to look for one, as in which model i should start off with, im tryin not to spend more than 3 grand for a used one, im not sure which year i should get. the only bike i've ridden on is a kawasaki ninja when i was like 11 i dont remember the model.

leaning towards a ninja cause i love the way they look, i dont know if i want a 250 r a 500r or a zxr, which bike is a decent bike to start out with as a beginner, but wont want me to automatically trade it in after i get the hang of it for something faster?

thanks for the help lookin forward to being here!!

 

hey welcome to the forum.... i would say try out the 250..... it's a great beginner bike, very forgiving..... what ever you chose make sure you post some pics.....

 

yup...welcome to the forums!! That 250 would be a great bike to start on, but you might outgrow it, if you're looking for power, which I think you are...so maybe a used 500...then if you drop her, it won't make you feel so bad..even if you get a 1985 kawi just to learn on, for $500 or so, wouldn't be a bad deal...whatever you find man, good luck to ya...don't be a stranger. Lots of good people here..

 

get the 250r, you cant go wrong with a twofiddy

 

Welcome to the forums! Either the 250 or the 500 are great starter bikes! You should be able to find a used one in your price range quite easily. Oh, you should probably take an MSF course too, it'll help. Keep us posted on how things go!

 

Welcome . I would go with the 500 but either way make sure you get protective gear.

 

I would say get the 250 and learn how to ride it then ugrade to the zxr and like kawtippn says get the proper gear u guys in the Usa scare the hell outta me was in florida last year and guys riding ninjas and blades with shorts and shades were ripping I drive up you wouldnt get me on my bike without my leathers .........

 

yeah first id like to say straight up safety first haha, found out it costs 225$ for the beginner msf course in myrtle beach south carolina. the my uncle had must of been a zx9 like a 94 or something cause it looks sexy as hell, when do the body styles change?

reason why i like the zx9 is cause of the body lines they're just so damn sexy!!! and i like how the seat is seperated from the back seat??? haha, and im sure if i get a zx9 with low miles on with this body style i wont want to ever get rid of it, i dont even care what color i just want this body style so bad!!!


someone just please tell me when this body style starts and ends! thanks!!!!!!

 

welcome to KF...........yeah that zx9 is a tight a$$ ride
