Ok I have read the articles about getting a 600cc bike for the first bike but I have been riding my ttr-125l dirt bike for 3 years and lately I have been riding my dads drz250 dirt bike also I plan on taking the msf course would a ninja 600 or gsxr-600 be pushing my abilities for a first street bike and if it is any suggestions

Explain to me how riding a 125 four stroke on dirt is going to prepare you for a GSXR 600 or ZX-6.

Didn't we just go through this a couple weeks ago? You're going to get the same answers this time too.

Buckwheat I rode a yamaha r6 around a parking lot today. (My mom was with and wanted to see me ride it) My 250 is nothing even close to it lol. I've been practicing riding on my friends 500ninja and that wasn't even close either.

How come we get so many newbs that think that after riding dirt bikes a few times, 1 or two years, qualify them to ride 600cc+ supersports?

I don't get it.......

Calling this dude an idiot for asking his question is beyond the pale.

Go be an "O Ring" somewhere else. Leave the name-calling off this board.

I think because they see alot of guys start on supersports and they feel with their past experience they are in a better place to start than the other guys. That's probably true that they are in a better place to start on a more powerful bike, but it's illogical to think they can just begin on the supersports. It just makes the grey area bikes (sv-650, ninja 650 etc) less of a risk for them.

He cross posts the same topics repeatedly in multiple fourms, reads the answers, disregards the advice people take the time to share, and reposts similar questions again.

That is certified idiocy, and it is a waste of time for forum members who made the effort to answer his questions the first one or two times and share information with him.

His signal to noise ratio is beyond bad and it's wasteful and has a negative effect on the rest of the threads in the section posted by people who are willing to learn and ask thoughtful questions.
