What is a good beginner's sports bike? Under $2000?

Question

So me and my best friend are going to get motorcycles for the summer. I don't know much about bikes, seeing as how i am a beginner.

Question is, what is a good bike to start researching?
Preferably one that is under $2000. Easy to ride. and easy to learn.
I was looking at a Honda CBR CBR600RR earlier. Is that a good bike?

Answer 1

600cc sports bike is a disaster waiting to happen in your hands. these things are racing bikes with numberplates and lights. we're talking about over 150 bhp and bugger all weight and twitchy throttle response. the all will do well over the legal limit in 1st gear; and there is 5 more to come. then there's the insurance costs!



look for a ninja 250, or a fzr250, or a gsxf250/gsxr250, or a cagiva mito 125 or a aprilia rs125. all sporty, all got some guts and all go at least 100 mph and get 50 mpg



for 2 grand look for a (very) second hand one. you will drop it and a brand new on will make you cry, a beater will lessen the wallet burn



as the others have said, do the safety course and ride carefully and responsibily and most importantly, have fun

Answer 4

Stay away from a 600RRRR. Terrible machines for the beginner. Why on earth would you believe a 150 mph road racing motorcycle that has been adapted for the street would be A-OK for a total beginner? Never has someone answered my question.

Plus insurance for a 600 RRRR will be higher than your budget.

Look for a 250 such as a Kawasaki 250R if you wish to stay with a sport bike.

Before you buy any motorcycle, check insurance costs. Sounds to me you may not have enough money to cover the costs of a motorcycle and insurance. Be certain to budget at least $500 to $750 for riding gear.

Good Luck

Best Motorcycle Under 2000

Answer 6

A guy in our vintage/cafe group was recently selling a pair of SV650s. I think he wanted $1,500 for one and $1,800 for the other. Both were a little rough, but ran decently and could have been ridden without any major repairs. If you just want a CBR or something so you can have a "sport-bike" like that, you probably wouldn't be interested. If you wanted a really decent sporty motorcycle, it would be a great way to go. Plus, a good rider on an old SV can totally embarrass a bad rider on a faster motorcycle anyplace but in a straight line.

Answer 7

Well your excluding one of your best options: Kawi 250! Depending on your size, yeah, the Kawi 250 might not be best for your because the torque and horsepower will not pull your weight. But forget it, get a 500 then. The Kawi ninja 250 and 500 are VERY forgiving. It was my first bike and I learned so much on it and crashed it ALOT of times without having to pay a tremendous amouth of money to fix it. Dont get a bike that will cost your more money to fix. Tough it out and pay your dues, get the corny 250 or 500 and then when you get good you can spank ANY 600 in the canyons! I have seen it be done before!

Step 1: Take a riding course;

Step 2: Buy a used 250cc bike, and proper riding gear;

Step 3: Progress from "barely being able to ride" to "riding well". If you take it seriously, that could take as little as two years;

Step 4: When you can ride the wheels off your 250, get a larger bike. At that point, you may be able to afford the insurance on the larger bike.



Any 600cc sport-bike is WAY too much for a new rider (that's you) to handle. And a $2,000 600cc sport-bike is called a "wreck".

Answer 9

The first thing to do is take the motorcycle safety course. After you achieve that, then buy quality proper fitting gear from the a local bike shop or at http://www.cyclegear.com/ <--that is where my husband and I buy everything for our motorcycles gear included they are reasonable priced and only sell quality gear. After you do the above a good starter bike is a Kawasaki ninja 250cc. It has enough speed and get up and go. And most are sold gently used for cheap.

Answer 10

Normally I would scoff at the idea of a 250 cc Ninja. But something tells me that's just about perfect for Matt the cute little bear guy. Unless they have a 125 cc.
