power to weight ratio's are more important in motorcycles (or just look at performance figures), unless you are just using Motorcycles to extend your penis, you can have fun in any sportsbike regardless of its power... and doesn't a CBR weigh alot more compared to the Ninja? and incase you're wondering, I have a friend who rides a Ninja, and let me tell you, it isn't considered slow at all.

Ninja is probably a go...
unless i quickly discovers how to ride during the moto learner class/course
then its definately 600cc's

its like 1500 bucks used...
and can probably be sold around same price afterwards :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
rocks... i'll look into it

Now you're thinking. ;)

Yeah, Ninjas are a great choice, they're relatively cheap ($2000 at most) and the entry-level models are fun and won't get you into too much trouble. I'm personally looking at a 250 myself, but a 500 would be even better. Both have different styling as well to keep things interesting.

After you take that motorcycle rider's course, however, you'll still need the practice. Just because you pootled around a parking lot on a 125cc doesn't make you Steve McQueen all of a sudden, in the same way that driving the Driver's Ed Chevy Malibu doesn't make you :stig:.

just get one of these, if you are going to die the first time out... you should atleast go out with a bang.
Also check out the MV Augusta F4 1080 CC, its got 200hp and weighs little over 400lbs. Perfect for a beginner

anything Italian is 1. Expensive 2. Rough as hell and it just can't do the job 3. but has the performance.

Look at Cars, Motorbikes and even normal racing bikes (as in pedal bikes), to those guys who do Racebiking, the campagnolo's gear's are lighter, have more gears but are a bitch to shift (It just gives one big clonk when you shift, not smooth at all) and expensive as well.

:mrgreen:
 
The new Duc1098 is absolutely amazing, and a step in the right direction for Ducati. Two steps above the 999R and half the price...The dry clutch takes some getting used to, but can really take a beating, and the sound and torque of that V-Twin makes me want Italian. Many people in the two-wheeled world are dreaming about this one, and lots are putting down payments on them. I have a feeling Ducati won't sell to me though, since I kind of exposed the bike to the press on a recent trip to their factory, so I'll have to import an Aprilia or MV!

18000 is a pretty steep tag for a motorbike...
 
4 wheels > falling over when you stop

get a miata, mx5, whatever you want to call it

But not for a Ducati; the last-generation 999R went for around $35-40K.

That's what legs are for...moving you from the computer to the kitchen/toilet, and holding up your bike.
