Since there have been so many posts about which bike to start out on I figured I would just make this!

First there is the Kawasaki Ninja 500ex. Great begginer bike and you can find them for really cheap.

Then there is the Yamaha Fzr 600. Also a great begginer bike and cheap.

Next is the Suzuki Katana 600. I think this is the best bike to start out with. It's a little heavy but it has good power and you can find them for pretty cheap too.

There are a couple other bikes like the Suzuki SV 650, Honda CBR 600 f2's and f3's that make awesome starter bikes! You should look to spend around $3500 or less!!!! Before you buy a bike make sure you take the msf course! www.msf-usa.org And make sure you have all of your gear! Helmet, gloves and jackets are the main things to have. Go to ebay or any other bike shop to buy all of this stuff!

Let me know if I missed anything.

*****EDIT******
Please do not ask which bike you should get! WE AREN'T MIND READERS!! SIMPLY GO AROUND AND SIT ON EACH BIKE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN, THEN DECIDE.

Also it's not the best idea to get something brand new for your first bike! I alway's recommend spending around $3k for your first bike. If you have any questions please PM me i'll be more then happy to help you out!
