Am I ready?

#1 Unread post by Tsik Raysen »

Hello everyone I'm new to this board, I started riding a motorcycle when I was 5 with a yamaha 50cc trike(3 wheel). I have my first accident at 6 by hitting the concrete wall going at 10 miles. As I get older, I was introduced to a standard motorcycle kawasaki 125 CDI and good for learning the basic fundamental. At 15 my parent bought me yamaha DT 125, this is the only bike where I get a lot of accident because of recklessness and teenager ego thing. I start to customized and upgrade it to a 135 cc for a drag race and mostly used it to go cross country in the mountain and hillside, gravel or dirt road, weaving around traffic or traveling from city to city. I also driven my dad's Yamaha 750 Virago for cruising around the city, town or highway and gotta love that power! I was able to get a hands on my Big Bro's 1995 yahama 500cc (dunno what model is this superbike) and it was fun but it broke down after few years. I'm thinking about getting a sportsbike 600cc next year. So my question is am I ready for 600cc bike? By the way I grew up in a country where people drives like a maniac and most accident involved are motorcycle. Thanks

Only you can decide if you are ready.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

If you have that much experience with riding, but you are uncertain if you are ready for a 600cc sportbike, I would say, no. You're not ready.

When you ARE ready, you won't need to ask.
[b]Are you a beginner rider?
Have a lot of questions about motorcycling?
Not sure what bike to start with?

After reading all that - no. Like asked already, are you ready to ride responsibly?


Knob Noster, eh? I never thought I'd meet another soul from there. I have family there.
