Good call.

I hope the little spikey / horn things on her helmet are the deciding factor between sudden death and her walking away unharmed.

lol

Warning warning..........words being put in mouth AND even quoted as OPPOSITE of what I said! I said in fact that a 600SS is NOT the best starter bike. Just a few posts ago...

she had one, she rode it 1.5yrs.......sold it for $100 less then we paid......oh we lost so much.........lol

20-25 in the state and thats alot for sale.......lol, research 600's.........should be in the thousands.....

So because your ass couldn't handle it, no one can? Oh and was your crash before or after you took the MSF course?


Where did I state that there was money to be lost, focus man. I don't know which discussion you are having but it's not this one. Money was never discussed, even if you can prove that everyone that got a 250 made money when they sold it, it doesn't change the fact that they sold it in the first season.


250s are sold in limited numbers in the first place so it's not all that strange... In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there are more 600s sold than 250s.

I can understand wanting more power/speed (especially if she's riding long distances at interstate speeds), better suspension/brakes, etc (and I agree, the stock suspension needs help). But the 'bored with it' and 'tired of being left behind' reasoning after just a few months reeks of an inexperienced rider not yet capable of utilizing what she already has (I'm not saying 'maxing out') & wanting to jump on a supersport so she can 'go faster'. With plenty of respect, she'll hopefully do just fine going that route, as plenty of others have also (myself included, as I started on an F3). But it's still not good reasoning. IMO.

Okay but what was your "reasoning" for starting so "big"? What was your mindset? Oh and how do you know that she can't "utilize" what she already has? Have you been riding with my gf when I wasn't around?... This may be one time that Azoom agrees with me but I've honestly seen teenage kids get on both dirt bikes and on the track and ride faster than people that have been doing it for years! Seriously, the kids that are competing in the Red Bull rookie's cup are probably faster than all of us on here... some people have talent. Some people don't need a year or three to get it...

crash was after 7-8000mi in 7-8mos of riding......handle it.......lol.......crash was my fault, but not cuz i couldn't "handle it" just riding stupidly. and i blame myself vs blaming everything else like most people do.

bike delivered sat night of MSF class, cousin test rode it for me, i rode 2-300mi that night. rode the VFR to MSF class sunday, rode to work on monday thru HEAVY traffic , it rained on the way home.

other then a ride in a grassy field on my cousins cruiser 1x, 1st time on a motorized bike was MSF class.

knowing what i know now, i prolly woulda been a better bike handler on a 250, but when i started riding i didn't know any riders, other then my cousin and he rode cruisers. so like i said, old dogs can learn new tricks.

What the hell does that have to do with anything

Those "kids" start out on 50 and 80cc race bikes.... talk about starting small. My junior racers have been racing since they were 5 - that's a lot more experience than many riders out there. So, don't try to mix that into this conversation. It doesn't fit.

It's ridiculous trying to follow a discussion with you. It hurts.

The 'have to get a bigger/faster bike in order to not be bored and/or keep up' after having a few months/miles on the bike is what I refer to as not being good reasoning. Hey, maybe she does have loads of natural talent & mastered it very quickly - but if that's the case, why isn't she able to 'keep up', as you say (assuming you're not routinely doing triple-digit blasts when you ride with her)? I have no way of knowing, but I'd bet that she's not keeping the rpm up over 10-grand when cornerning & frustrated that it won't pull at all when she rolls back into it. Or simply freaked out by the screaming sound (understandable) and not running it at high rpm to begin with.

It's only my opinion, but I stand by it.
