You can ride whatever you like on the street once you learn enough not to kill yourself. 250 makes that easier. End of debate // If someone decided to get a bigger bike because random people on internet consider small bikes gay, then more power to him. I don’t hold random people’s opinions in high regard. He can make his own decision based on reasons given. ---

We are telling him him it’s fine to start/learn on a small bike and it’s actually a good idea. He can do whatever he wants later. **_Real men_** (who ride still girly 600’s) come in here and tell us that it’s a terrible idea to start that small and he needs a less girly 600 to learn on because that puts more hair on the chest. With that said, yes 600cc supersports are pretty much the most useless machine for the street. If you want the looks/performance and no creature comfort, might as well buy something that has some balls behind it like a 1000cc, or if you want comfort and don’t care for the looks buy a proper naked street bike. Otherwise you’re stuck in the middle. Not manly enough for a liter, not comfortable enough for a good DD/long distance bike. :tongue ---

LOL at people that buy bikes to be “cool,” but what is really funny is the people that think 250’s are gay, yet I would be willing to put down $1,000 none of you can come close to using the full potential of a newer 600cc sportbike. ---

I didn’t buy my bike to be “cool” I enjoy riding I enjoy listening to the engine and the feel of the suspension, I’ve got all but a full suit for gear and its not some cheap shit either I started out on a 95 fzr and ended up with a sv650 I’m not going for the cool factor… I modify volvos for crying out loud that’s the farthest from cool… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/finally-going-to-do-it-me-thinks/267104.md?page=7) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/finally-going-to-do-it-me-thinks/267104.md?page=9)
