Hey guys I need some info. here's the deal. I'm 18 years old. I really want a bike. I've been racing motocross all my life (I know a dirtbike is alot different than a streetbike). I have a truck right now and Im sick of paying 95 bucks to fill it up I'm only wokring part time at sweetbay so im not exactly wealthy after filling up once a week plus the fees of keeping piece running...fords haha . Anyways Im ready for a nice bike for the street. i want something new like an 06 and up. I really want a R1 lol. When I told the guy at the dealer he laughed...but whatever when I do something I like to go big. What do you guys think I should do for a first bike. I want a fast bike r1 or gixxer 1000 but im not gonna be haulin ass all the time i just love the bike. the one i sat on seamed pretty damn big though. Im about 6 foot and weigh 180. I dont want to get a "starter" bike and end up being bored with it after a couple months. I can handle the power of a big bike and ive known several people that have died or been seriously injured on bikes including my dad and cousin. What do you guys think? thanks

 

Riding is not a cheap hobby. You might want to get a better paying job so you have the extra money in your pocket first... that's my .02
