hi im thinkin about getting a use street bike but have a few questions first
1.) whats the average weight limit?
2.) how expensive is insurance (average,canadian)
3.) do they tip easy?
4.) would an rz350 keep up with an r1??? if not r6?
thx!!!!

 

Here's your answers:
1) depends on the bike.
2) if your young, and want full coverage, it's insanely expensive.
3) being that most sportbikes are fairly tall, yes they tip easier at slow speeds.
4) an RZ350 will get dusted by both an R1 and an R6

 

I couldnt have said it better myself. Insurance also depends on how many points u have on ur license.

 

okay the weight thing didnt help at all, whats the average then? and im talkin bout the lil 2 stroke rz350 i think thats what its called, and when taking off does the front end tend to come up?

 

1-If you mean body weight Ive seen some pretty fat people ride crotch-rockets!
2-VERY if your not over 24 years old.
3-Tip?They lean into corners,but youll loose control if you hit diesel with your front wheel on a round about.
4-Not a chance.

 

couple more questions,
how does an r1 match up with a gsxr1000 and the same with the honda
why are ducatis so expensive? and are they THAT fast?
is the busa the king of drags?

 

People seem to like the Honda because of its tiny chassis it goes 169mph,the Suzuki does 175mph and the Yamaha does 168mph,the Honda is the cheapest follow by the Suzuki,but the Yamaha has the most aftermarket peices.
Ducatis?Because there beutifull and also fast around(179mph).
Hayabusa is king of speed but is more of a tourer(182mph)you will have an instant heart attack when they give you the price of insurance on the Busa,its on the black list(at least here).

 

If you are looking for your first bike, none of the bikes you have mentioned would be a good idea. Except maybe for the RZ350. Which is basically a power-valved Banshee engine in a sportbike chassis. Even a 600cc Supersport(R6, CBR, GSXR) is WAY too much bike for a beginner.

 

Yamaha4eva,
Take a look at these bikes if they will be your first street bike.

Suzuki GS 500
Kawasaki Ninja 500
" " Ninja 250
Suzuki Savage
Yamaha Virago 250

And the list goes on, if you dont have a lot of experience on street bikes, dont even think about getting on anything bigger than a 500, you WILL get hurt. I have two friends that did not listen to me and both of them have crashed their $10,000 supersport bikes within a year of buying them because they did not understand the basics of riding on the road.

 

I'm pretty new to rockets as well but i was thinking of getting a R6 or CBR600.
I've ridden a lot of powerful motocross bikes and normal street bikes. so i don't think i would kill my self.

I hope. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
