Honda Motorcycles 2010
Moving up from beginner bike, what’s next?
Hey all, I got my motorcycle license in november 2009 and it’s january almost febuary 2010 now so about 3 to 4 months. I think I’m ready to move on to a bigger bike.
The current bike I have is a 2002 Ninja EX500. My question is should I give it more time before I move up? My friend is selling me his Honda CBR600 F4I cheap since he got a R6 and my brother wants to buy my Ninja but I’m not sure if this is the correct way to move up.
I sat on the F4I and I have to say, it’s quite big. I lowered the Ninja 1.5 Inches so it’s around 29 inches. The stock F4I seat is around 31 Inches, my friend just keeps telling me to post up on one leg, but the difference not only in height but body size is huge to me. The tank is bigger as well.
I’ve looked at the 650R but the price for it is crazy compared to the price my friend is selling me his F4I for ($3,000 8k miles)
So should I move up or should I give it a couple more months?
Give it another riding season, maybe two. Learn to ride. You are at a stage right now where there are a lot of fatalities. After six to eight weeks of riding, the mechanics of riding are becoming second nature. You feel you can ride the bike pretty well, but in reality, you have not developed the traffic sense and awareness of a seasoned rider, or the control skills to deal with the full range of exigencies you will encounter. A lot of guys get overconfident, and biff it in at just about where you are in the learning curve.
Don’t worry about missing out on a deal. You may regret it, but a lot of deals come along in a lifetime, if you live long enough.
