Question On A Motorcycle

1994 Suzuki fr900

Would be my first bike

Wondering if anybody has heard any good/bad things
And Hes asking for 1000$ dont know the mileage but gonna figure that out

This thread probably sucks but i know some of yous know more bout bikes then i do

I don't know much about them but from I heard that would be a good starter bike.

if it's your first bike ver i would say 900 is a bit big to start on

An older 900 probably makes about the same power as a current 600, so it's not terrible as far as speed. The thing I'd worry about is size and weight. A 900 is a bigger bike, and older sport bikes aren't exactly known for being sleek and light-weight.

For the price (and likely the condition) it'd be a good starter bike because you wouldn't feel as bad abusing it occasionally. But it's better to stick with smaller CC for a starting bike.

And for the love of huge manatees, please take an MSF beginner's riding course.

thanks guys, ya i figured its either this or an 88 CBR600 and yes the beginners riding course is all set up and ready to go...ill let errrbody know what happens

Yeah you might want to check into your insurance before you buy a 900 also. There's usually a break if you get a 600 or less

I hate to say it but buy an older cruiser bike ... if you drop it less damage ect handles/grips and turn signal stalks are CHEAP
when you get good riding then get a crotch rocket of your choice (them plastics are PRICEY)

Those 250 rebels can be had for $600/$800 and under 2000 miles , ride it a year and sell it for that much next year or get the GF to start riding it with you ... I went this route and the rebel I bought is on it's 6th owner (last I heard) and it's getting the same $$$ I sold it for

i checked insurance on it already i can get a full year for 473 for the 900 but i dont know for sure yet what im doing

venge i did look at some cruisers a couple 250s like you were saying and i was thinkin of going that route like you said and i highly doubt i can get my gf to ride

I thought the same thing , Wife loves to ride , doesn't like to shift , so she's got a restored Hondamatic , A suzuki automatic , and a couple of Scooters
A GREAT beginner bike is the older Kawasaki 454LTD bulletproof and will hang with bigger bikes and not too small that you'll outgrow be bored in a year
