You dont have to be messing around to grab too much front brake. On a lighter super sport you will flip over the front wheel. Make the same mistake on say a rebel250, you wont flip over. Same mistake, different outcome you can not argue that fact.
Yes some situation you can wreck the rebel250...
This is going to go nowhere. Some people see it one way, the others see it their way. As Ive said, Ive known far to many young guys on high powered machines to know when its not worth arguing about.
Just hope noone financed those liter bikes for 6 years...
Yea, not sure Ive ever seen a rebel 250 flip over because the rider grabbed the front brake too hard. Sure happens on RR bikes though... Just youtube around a bit and see how the smallest mistake on a 350lb 120hp machine can turn out. I love the guys trying to turn, get a lil too much throttle...
Its hard to cause damage shifting with the clutch. Its easy to cause harm without the clutch. Most people clutchless are doing it wrong, at least that I see out on the street. Clutchless on the street has no gain and alot of chance of harm, so why do it?
Thats how it should be though, if you want comfort buy a bike built for it(read: cruiser). If you want performance buy a sports bike and dont plan on riding more than 1 hour without a break.
The ZX and hayabusa are ment for sport touring though not all out performance. So they have comfort...
Im not saying the 250 is for everyone though. Its up to you, the ninja500 is a perfect starter bike too. Body size plays into things alot too, the 250 wont move you very well if you 180+ lbs. Also, if your looking for highway use I wouldnt go 250 just not enough top end for it and too light...
My opinion, buy some thing old/used that has some scratches already. Buy that 1st bike with every intent of selling it in a year or so. Biggest mistake I always see is people buying their dream bike the first time out.
After that it depends on the kind of riding you want to do. If you want a...
Sorry to the OP but I agree. 21 with a 'few' street riding years and buying the fastest bike made, not a good idea imho. Add into that the urge to street race, against cars. :1zhelp:
The ZX is a fast bike but it is more touring than race bike at least. A 600 with capable rider would kill the...
2 steelies back to back = set for the night.
OE is good, mix it with sunny delight though(or real OJ and it turns into a lava lamp). Drink the OE down to the top of the label, pour sunny D back in to the top. Close the cap and turn it upside down a few times but dont shake it. Then drink, taste...
Yea, having to be escorted to the bathroom is just awkward. Gotta wave someone down then look stupid walking behind the flip up counter. Also what does that do for work area sanitation having a customer back there? What if the food gives me the runs and I want to sit it out for a 15 minutes. Is...
The rumors are all over, especially about best buy not selling the 80gig anymore. The rumor supposedly comes from a best buy manager getting an updated planOgram. The 80gig ps3 is not showing up on that shelf plan, but its not replaced with anything either...
Other rumors are coming because...
