be too big? Ive always wanted a bike, and i promised myself i would get one soon after i got my drivers license. I get my license soon, this coming April. I'm getting it relatively late, considering i will be 17 in may, but its not a big deal. Anyways, it just occurred to me the other day i haven't even considered the idea of getting a bike. I don't have a job at the moment, and its not a top priority, but i still want to start looking.
I really dont want anything smaller than a 300. I like 250s and all, but I have heard the extra 50cc's makes a big difference in the power over the 250. Please dont take me as a bonehead looking to go speeding down the main streets in my city, i just want something that has a little more power to work with.
So far the only 300 I have seen is the ninja, and it looks decent. I also got a quote from all state today ( with some false personal info) that tells me insurance would be less than 80 a month with a clean slate driving record. That doesn't look nearly as high as i thought it would be.
Are there any other 300s out there that would make a good first bike? Please don't exclude larger bikes because i am free to any recommendations ( You guys are probably stupid to recommend a 600 anyways). I was looking at cbr500r and apparently they aren't very popular, although i havent investigated as to why. Thanks!
PS: I happen to be a big fan of the cbr, ninja, and gsx-r. Im biggest fan of the ninja though, because my dad used to take me on rides on his zx11. Fun as hell. He set some good examples by taking me down a back road across the highway at 150 mph. Talk about scary shit, being on the back and all. All im saying, anything from those makes would be a good suggestion on a personal like scale.
