aight check it out, i DEMAND a 750cc+ bike in my possession soon. I have the money just CAN NOT decide what kind of bike i want. Im loving some of the yamahas and kawis but im drooling over the new 2k2, 2k3 honda cbr 1100xx's. i really dont know what i should get. im already pricing heat sinked exhaust pipes for whatever bike i get cuz i have friends who ride and i just want a bike of my own. Im basically looking for a fair amount of speed but good handling as well. i dont want so much power that when i swing my bike on a turn its gonna slide out from under me. Many nubs for any help anyone can give me on this.

You want a bike with more than 750 that does have too much speed and wont be dangerous on curves?? Well then go to like a 400cc bike, anything over 750 is insane. That 1100xx that you said you wanted is very insane. Just dont be stupid. I suggest a Gixxer 600 or R6 or maybe even less for what your describing. Just my 2 cents.

^ Yup. If you dont want THAT much power , then dont go over 750cc.

also you should think about your size, IE. weight and height and most importantly EXPERIANCE. jesus you would not belive how many people i see with 750cc+ bikes with zero riding experiance or even very little wreck there bikes in a matter of days and quite possibly even wreck themselves... what im trying to say is be smart.. just because your friends have top end bikes doesnt mean you need one too (or right away i should say) everyone always want the "fastest bike" they may say nono im not looking for speed but inside there is something saying SPEED SPEED MUWAHAHAHAHA and if you got a bike that you cant controll you are going to hurt yourself and maybe someone else too... :nodno:

Just be smart dude :wink:

also i forgot to add i just purchased a Honda CBR600 F4i and i have quite a bit of experiance i am now 17 and have been riding since i was 14 thats 3 years.... and i still dont feel comfortable on anyhting bigger then a 750...

I don't think you should get over a 600. No offense, You don't even know the basics. Do what you want, but I woul do research before I just hopped on an 1100.
