RE: 1st bike... not what you think
98 f3 been riding for 2 years , two crashes later still have the f3 also picked up a 99 r6 couple months ago .
for a 1st bike there can be a million what ifs .
1st off wear gear forget that wife beater shorts flip flop look
its n expensive sport - dont expect to go do 120 or better on 2 wheels n think your gonna be cheap n cut corners
the bigger the cc the less room for error
if you suck at driving a car chances are you will suck at riding a bike
know the consequences of poppin that wheelie for the car full of girls when you know your assss only been riding like 3 days
always aim to better yourself, yes you got your license but it does not end there track days
exp rider courses n what not .
even take a couple of diy courses cause ive learn dam near anything on a bike can be fixed with a little common sense n patience .

RE: 1st bike... not what you think
my first bike is THIS ONE (the one in my sig)
i used to have a 80cc dirtbike when i was like 12 but i didnt get to ride it much (growin up in the middle of the city)
but this wil be my first street bike. i hope everything goes good. i kno i can resist the impulse of speed b/c i care too much about my well being and its just not worth it to me... let alone i cant afford a ticket right now anyway. lol. ive never been been in a wreck or even been pulled overin my5 years of driving so im hoping i keep the streak going with this bike. but yea this is my first wish me luck!

RE: 1st bike... not what you think
My first bike, that I owned, was a '01 F4i, which for my size and body type, was a great learner bike. I am 6-3 and about 195 lbs, and I could throw that thing thru corners and it had enough speed to satisfy me yet I wasn't afraid of it either and it handled great. I would swear to anyone that an '01-'02 F4i is one of the best starter bikes out there right now.
