I suggest you try the bicycle that is next to your sign on name. Oh and welcome to the board!

You guys talked me into it, no more busa.

But I am getting a 750 or 1000, any bikes that you guys know of that are bulky and big.

Why does it have to be big and bulky? Are you trying to compensate for something??

you said this before and i posted a response, did you not read them all, well here it is again

you seem to be so sure on a 750 or a 1000 bike. Have you ever ridden any bike? my very first ride was on a 600 and it scared the "crumb" out of me and i realized that that was too much power for a n00b. Know how old i was? 16. You have no road experience watsoever, never had a car or a bike and to get a super bike as your first method of transportation is stupid. I was like you, i wanted an R6 as my first bike, but that ride on my buddys 600 was enough to show me that i needed to start small. If you really insist on gettin a 750 or a 1000 then best of luck to ya and write a will, cause at 16 that much power is a mistake waiting to happen, sorry if this all sounds harsh, but its the truth. As for a big and bulky big, if you big and bulky is what you want, look at cruisers, sport bikes arent supposed to be big and bulky, they are lean and sleek. So which do you want, big adn bulky, or sporty. Figure that out and we can point you towards the right bike. Hopefully we can knock some sense into ya and get you away from the 700cc plus superbikes

I would be really disappointed in your parents if they allowed you to do this dude. Think twice, three times if necessary.

Hope the 65 mph top speed doesn't cramp your style

Maybe a 1968 CB750K?

I'm guessing you want either a standard or a sport-like bike then?

Why 750 or 1000? Is it just the engine size that sounds cool or...?

i agree wholeheartedly. this person is a troll.

but anyways ask your dad if he's taking out a life insurance policy on you along with the motorcycle insurance. i'm suspicious that he wants you gone and is trying to line his pockets while he's at it.
