Talking Motorcycle

Hey guys, I've wanted a sport bike for about 3 years now, and last friday I finally rode on a 2003 HD Superglide! Wow that was amazing! It was my first time ever on a bike and now I'm hooked! I'm wanting to spend $2k or less and wanting something fairly new. Doesn't have to be a huge engine, probably a 250-400cc something in that range. Any opinions?

Do you still want a crotch rocket or have you changed to a cruiser after riding one?

I want a crotch rocket! (But I'm definately not excluding a cruiser!)

CBR 600 would be my suggestion.... Good reliable bikes. I rarely hear anybody have any problems with them. Light manuverable and the smaller 600 cc Engines are great for learner bikes + will be enough power to play with after you get comfortabe with it.

The R6 is a nice bike too but it does have a higher center of gravity... I have long arms and find it hard to reach the handle bars to get enough leverage to pop a wheelie or maintain my balance in endos and maintain control of it.

Have had several untill last year, now I am looking again myself.

I'm thinking about going with a cruiser for now then another crotch rocket maybe later... They are just so much fun but I was in pain after taking a few long rides with friends on thier cruisers the last cpl years.
