I am taking the motorcycle safety class in April here in Maryland and assuming i pass will have my class M license. I have been looking around a different sport bikes. I am 6'3" and 205lbs so I am not a little guy. Would the Suzuki GS500F be a good size bike to start out and grow on. Dealer near me has an excellent price on a 2007 and its a beautiful bike and hoping they still have it in a few months. I don't want anything too small that I will have to replace a year later. I would rather take my time learning on something a little bigger that I wont get bored with. Any suggestions and would this be a good bike for me?
I am looking to buy a 08 Yamaha FZ600. Was wondering what I need to look for in buying this new bike. It is labeled as being "like new" and "adult owned". Also, is this a good bike for short and/or long trips? The price is listed under ,700. Second opinion on this price?
So there's 3 men who are in a boat in the middle of the sea. (don't ask why.) The first man sees an island.
"LAND HO!!!!" He yells. The other two men quickly paddle to shore and find that the island is inhabited with cannibals. They get off the boat and walk up to the head cannibal who says,
"If you want to live, all of you go into the forest and find ten of the same fruit by dusk. If you fail, you will be killed."
The men, not wanting to be their supper, head out into the sparse forest. The first man found an apple tree, so he picked 10 apples and brought them back to the cannibal.
"Now you must shove these apples up your butt without making any facial expression," he says, "or you will die."
So the man starts shoving the apples up his butt, but when he got to the 5th apple, he started screaming. The cannibal grabbed him and threw him onto the sand.
"We will wait for the others to come so we can cook them too," he says.
The second man came back with 10 cherries. The cannibal told him the same thing.
"Now you must shove these cherries up your butt without making any facial expression, or you will die."
So the second man successfully shoved 9 cherries up his butt, then burst out laughing. The cannibal threw him next to the first man.
"You were so close to finishing! What made you laugh?" the first man asked the second.
"I saw the other man coming back," The second man replied, "and he was carrying pinneapples!"
and the next one
One day in the great forest a magical frog was walking down to a water hole. This forest was so big that the frog had never seen another animal in all his life. By chance today a bear was chasing after a rabbit to have for dinner. The frog called for the two to stop. The frog said "Because you are the only two animals I have seen, I will grant you both three wishes...
Bear, you go first." The bear thought for a minute, and being the male he was, said "I wish for all the bears in this forest, besides me, to be female." For his wish, the rabbit asked for a crash helmet, and immediately put it on.
The bear was amazed at the stupidity of the rabbit, wasting his wish like that. It was the bear's second turn for a wish.? "Well, I wish that all the bears in the next forest were female as well." Rabbit asked for a motorcycle and immediately hopped on it and gunned the engine.
The bear was shocked that the rabbit was asking for these stupid things, after all, he could have asked for money and bought the motorcycle. For the last wish the bear thought for awhile and then said, "I wish that all the bears in the world, besides me, were female." The rabbit grinned, gunned the engine, and said "I wish the bear was gay."
I'm 5'11" and 180 lbs. I've never ridden a motorcycle before. One friend suggests that I get this Yamaha Virago 250, which looks a little small to me. I've got another friend who is recommending a Honda Shadow 1100, which is more the size that I was wanting. They both have good reasons for the motorcycles they recommend, I'd like to hear what other people say.

im 5'10" and 175 lbs...is this a good fit for me
the bike has only 11,000 miles on it
can it handle the California freeways/highways?
all little info helps!
Suzuki Hayabusa or Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14 Monster Engery?
Perhaps a BMW HP2 Sport, Apprilla RSV1000R Factory, MV Agusta F4 RR 312 1078, Ducati Superbike 1098 R, or a Buell 1125R?
Is a 0,000 MV Agusta F4CC really worth the money if I want the best bike out there?
Does the better handling on 1000cc bikes like the Honda CBR1000RR and the Yamaha YZF R1 make up for their smaller engines?
Are there any other bikes I should know about?
Basically, there are a lot of super sport motorcycles that claim to best. I want to know which one really has the best performance. I don't have much of a restriction on how much I can pay, but I can't pay millions for a pro racing bike, and if a ,000 dollar bike is amazing I don't want to pay 0,000+.
I am an experienced rider with track training on pro motorcycles. I can handle just about any motorcycle.
I know places where I can go fast. A 650 is not enough.
Looking for a new bike, not a classic.
Fine, I am not a pro, but I needed a way to convince you guys to give me information other than "you need a smaller bike, you will never need to go that fast." I just want to know what is out there these days. Keep the answers coming.
Not liking the V-Max
Anyone know a good option for a roof mount bike rack that fits very small kids bikes (16" wheels)? Upright mount preferred since bike doesn't have quick release wheel.
Our SUV isn't compatible with trunk mount racks and I am pulling a tent trailer so can't use hitch mount racks.
So far I haven't found any options that would seem to fit very small bikes.
As far as I remember, BMW stopped making the "airhead" boxers in 1995. Is there anything intrinsically better with either design? To people who've owned both; what are your opinions? Which one did you like better?
I'm 6'5" and weigh about 240 or so
I'm in the process of getting my M class license and i'm looking around for a suitable bike.
My main question is whether or not the Harley Davidson XL 883 Sportster would be big enough for me.
If not i'm going to go for a dual sport.. probably a Suzuki DRZ400
any other suggestions would be good..
BTW.. i'd like to keep it cheap..lol
Thanks!!!
A friend bought a motorcycle to save gas money.
0 - motorcycle, 0 - new tires, 0 - helmet = 00 expenditure so far. (I hope she gets leathers!) I've got the math up to this point. 
But the rest of the figuring I'm not sure how to handle:
Her car gets 30 miles per gallon.
Her motorcycle gets 40 miles per gallon.
Considering the 00 expenditure, how many miles will she have to drive before she will realize a savings?
Roderick, with paper & pencil in hand I'm trying to follow your reasoning. I get it until "So, 1200 x 30 = 36000"
What do the 1200 & 30 represent & why multiple those 2 together?
Thanks.
(Please pardon my ignorance, I want to understand the reasoning so I can do the math for myself if there is a next time...)
Duh... Never mind, I got it. Thanks!
I want a sport motorcycle in the 10,000 range. I'll go a little above that if it's worth it.
I was thinking perhaps the Honda CBR600RR, but I thought maybe there are better options.
Any help? Best suggestion gets 10 pts I'm 5'7", and 145 lbs
I'm looking to exercise more and would like to be able to take my 18 month along with me. I'd love to be able to bike ride as I hate walking b/c it is too boring. Can I get a "cruising" bike or do i need gears? Also need a safe/reliable trailer but can't spend a lot. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
I may buy a Yamaha motorcycle. I believe the tenth digit in the VIN tells the model year. It is an "A" for the motorcycle. Which year is that? thank you!
I'm a bit of a neophyte with all this, but here's the setup:
I'm planning a cross-country road trip (with a slight bit of basic off-roading) starting in Utah, going through California, down to Georgia and back to Utah. I currently am planning to buy a new (hopefully) 07 or 08 Kawasaki KLR 650. Since the last bike I owned was 10 years ago and I took it to a shop for repairs, how do you (duh!) get a bike repaired should there be a mechanical failure with it? Should I look up Kawasaki dealerships around the areas I'll be in, just in case, or is there another way. The old "fix it yourself" adage doesn't work for me. I'm the world's worst repair man.
Thanks!
What about oil changes? I'm religious about changing my oil every 3000 miles in my car, and I know that on the highway you can go further, but who does that? Just dealers?
They're telling you what to drive (SUV's are evil), what kind of light bulbs to use (no more incandescents), can't use coconut oil on popcorn in movie theaters, they're going to tax smokers to death (yeah it's not healthy but it's still a free country) while at the same time trying to make marijuana smoking legal, wear your seat belts, wear a motorcycle helmet, always trying to out law guns, etc., etc., etc. They're even telling people in Spokane County, WA they can't buy the type of dishwashing detergent that works! Anyone tired of the "do gooders" telling you they know better then you how to live?
I am trying to figure out or find a calculation that would give me my "payload" weight. I am using a utility trailer for junk removal I want to be able to weigh my tongue weight and be able to calculate how much junk got loaded on my trailer. Then I would be able to charge the customer right. Basically I want to be able to get the weight of my trailer while I am standing in someones driveway. The trailers weight is 2400# GVWR 7000# Tandem axle 16 x 7.25 x 4.
Open to any answers or Ideas!
ok im thinking about buying a honda 929rr the only problem is he says it has a 14" swing arm.
is that stretched out alot or not that much?
The question is regarding a specific case, when bathroom "needs" have not been fulfilled for a possibly unhealthy time.
If you must know, i am going on a 3-day nonstop motorcycle trip.
planning a motorcycle trip to end at the Pennsylvania State ABATE party in Hazen PA ( the one off I-80) wanna do a "Hazen" tour
I found a 1992 Suzuki GS500 for 00. The only thing it needs is a battery. Can anyone tell me about this bike? I'm 6'0" and weigh just about 230. At the moment I'll just use it for fun rides and going to work but in August I'll need it to drive to Ohio and back to Michigan about once a month. Could the bike make it that far comfortably with me on it? What kind of gas mileage could I expect from this bike since that is the reason I'm buying a motorcycle? If anyone knows alot about these bikes I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you have any suggestions about other bikes I could try then I'm open to ideas. I only have 00 at the moment and I don't want to finance a bike because I can't afford full coverage on a bike.
I'm looking into buying a VTX1800N
And I'm wondering if any Honda owners could give me any insight into what Chrome & Extras I should add. (Safety wise more than looks) What are the must haves?
Please no "American V.S. Jap bike" quips... I own a Harley, I love it and will never get rid of it, It's just getting on in years and the newer ones are out of my price range.
