looking for first bike

im currently looking for my first bike. I live in San Francisco. I don't really know what bump means and whats a pm? post message? Becuase I've been looking at the bikes for sale but I don't exactly know what i should put. just like name and phone number? if someone could just send me some kind of reassurance thatd be great. I'm looking for honda cbr 600 f4 series, maybe some kawasaki ninja 650r, either would be great. if someone could help me out it'd be much appreciated i'm looking to spend 3-4 geez.

After a Few years riding Dirt on a 250x, I am thinking about making the transition to street.

I really Like the body style of the Ducatti Monster 620, however I read they are expensive to maintain. Is there another Manufacturer that makes a similar body style, I was looking at the Bandit 400 are there any others?

welcome to barf
read this thread from the beginning for all the advice you need on choosing a first bike.
 
Looking for a bike I can cruise around town then, ride on some trails. I know there are many bikes that fit the description. Loooking to spend 2-3k. Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
I know it is a bit out of your price point but i am selling my plated 450r.

Sorry this is my first post; i am a long time lurker. this is the BEST moto website anywhere. It is time a contribute. Honda is going but I am keeping the Duc.

Mur, I have not found my Duc expensive to maintain. there is so much info and DIY vids out there that I had no problem checking valves and maintaining. plus the nakedness of it makes it easy to tinker with.

New rider here, and here's my first bike:

The Ninjette is a great way to get started. I'm loving every mile so far!
 
The green looks good Nate! Mine kind of sounds like it's on crack. I'm thinking about going back to a stock muffler.

I'm in... when and where? :teeth Meet up in Milpitas and ride Calaveras road?

I don't know of any youtube vids of that setup, but it's LOUD. If we ride, you can check it out in person and see what you think.

i think mine is loud too, WITH SILENCERS! wtf?! :wtf

btw, im jealous of your NEWER and BLUE 250, aaron.
 
Thanks Ed. The new body style does make the bike look pretty cool, but I hear that the previous generation has a better top end.
 
When I turned 17 I bought an R6, I did just fine with it, no previous dirt bike or street bike experience. I wouldn't get a 250cc bike though, IMO they are dangerously slow... You won't have enough power to get out of a crazy drivers way...
