Im too far to help but i had one, good starter bike. It has some known backfiring issues but was nice and light and easy to handle. After about 6 months i sold it and moved up to the C50 which is a lot heavier and harder to handle but better for 2 up and long cruises.
X2 on What Jake Said...we are not the problem...but the spammers and bots out on the net fishing for info will be a problem...
id be more worried about a bunch of guys trying to call for a date or breathing heavy or something lol
Yep what he said.... Gotta be careful of the PERVS.
Darn good advice. Thanked and repped.
You got me. I was going only on the style of the bike and it being a starter. Still 600cc can get one into a world of hurt. It is true, I wouldn't want to ride a 250 on the highway, but for someone who's never ridden? That's also a good lesson.i dont want to contradict but i would not go with the rebel 250 cant even hit highway speed and i think the next one up in the line is a lot bigger than the S40, nice thing about the S40 is its 600 cc but single cylinder so lighter and less maintenance or issues. I really like my C50 i probably should have kept it but traded it for a spyder because i only used it for 2 up riding and the spyder is so much safer to take my wife or kid on rides. But when im on my own its FZ6R all the way
I think it just depends what type of person you are. If you understand the fact that you start with absolutely no skill or talent, and that the bike won't hesitate to kill you if you don't respect it, the 6r can be a great first bike (it was mine, and I think it was perfect for me). On the other hand if you're the type of person that thinks they can handle anything, or who does not respect the very real danger of riding, a 600 is probably not a wise choice.
Well said. Rep to you.
