im thinking about selling my car and getting a bike. im just trying 2 find out some info on it...i really like the gsx-r 750, but a lot of people say thats not a good starting bike or wutnot. wut do u guys recommend as a good starting bike and how does the insurance/riding school work and stuff. thnx

 

I am also going to be buying a bike and I will tell you what I have learned so far. Yes the gsx-r 750 would NOT be a good starting bike. Most bike riders would recommend a 500 or low end 600 cc bike for a beginner. Also, taking the MSF course is a must and smart thing to do. Buy your gear, good gear too. Helmet, gloves, good jacket, boots that go above the ankles, pants are good too. That's all for me though. I am sure someone else will chime in with some good information.

 

If you go to a MSF class you will get reimbursed the money IF you buy a bike from a Shop. Plus they will help hook you up with Insurance.

 

about how much wud insurance b? is bike insurance the same as car insurance

 

if you want full coverage, it's going to be very expensive!

 

I pay 53 and change per month for full coverage through progressive. But I have a Perfect driving history.

 

I can bet that you don't have uninsured motorist coverage! That's where the money comes in!

 

Damn uninsured people. oughta hit them with a watermelon

 

It would have raised my rate to 65 p/month

 

Ive been keeping track of insurance on this thing.. and they go from $50 to $300 lol
