So I THINK I'm done with the whole car thing for now. Besides the fact that I can't really afford another nice car, I've always wanted a bike. I AM beginner. I'm going to take the lessons at Actions (Everyone says they're probebly the best to go to). I want to get some openions on what to buy. I've ALWAYS loved the ZX7R. I know in the past, they've been tanks though, but I hear the new ZX7RR's aren't too shabby.
I obviously don't want anything over a 750 for a starter bike. What should I go with?
Thanks.

go with whatever looks good to you and sits comfortably. performance is basically all the same for street bikes.. you'll never wind one out enough on public roads to notice the differences anyway, really. at least not as a beginning rider

Thanks for the input guys. Now.. should I go buy used or just go buy something new? Cause they're not THAT expensive.

^ dood I took action that is a great place to learn how to ride DAT, ROY, and SLOW MO (as he likes to be called) are great teachers...
It doesn't matter if u take the class or not, there are two types of riders those that have fallen and those that are about to fall.. Buy a used bike there isn't any point in purchasing a new bike b/c u lose 3 G's after the first season due to depreciation... If you looking to buy I am getting rid of my HONDA 03' 600 F4i we/ 4900 km on it for about $9000.... HID conversion, tank strip, yoshimura Rs-1 exhaust...
(email me if ur interested)
the only thing u need to buy new is the gear make sure u buy the nicest gear because in the end if u cheap out on the gear its ur ass that gonna be melting on the tarmach...

there was a couple of after market parts and no u can't buy a f4i for 10G its 11, 400 plus taxes and shiping which will bring it up to about 13,000 when u done...
yoshimura exhaust $800
HID - $144
carbon fibre tank guard $50
if u check the buy and sell 01 F4i are going for 8500 w/ high km gixxie... so an 03 for 9k is pretty fair...

Aftermarket parts mean nothing when you are selling a bike.
Your probably better off taking them off and selling seperately..
I know if i was buying a second hand bike, Id like it to look as stock as possbile.
F4i's are everywhere, and still I think that is a very high price for it.
Good thing yours has low km's.
