I think you Should look at bikes that have a few scratchs on it… I started riding last year took the MSF course and passed with flying colors got a great deal on a ZX7R and slid it into a guard rail… you probibly will drop it (not becouse your a girl) just in general. altho you should get on the [WNYSPORTRIDERS.ORG](http://WNYSPORTRIDERS.ORG) Forum ask around. ---

regardless of the msf course, i wouldnt’ recommend an r6 or a gixxer for your first bike. i’d recommend more like; yamaha yzf600 or fzr600 suzuki- katana 600 or gsx-f 600 kawi -ninja 600e or old 600r honda; cbr600 f2 or f3 not saying because you’re a girl. saying because even a 600, at high rpm’s is a LOT of bike. also, are you tall enough to ride one of these, or will you lower it? also willybeen has his girlfriend’s old bike. f4. i believe it already has an adjustbale rear shock ---

If you’ve never riden before, I’d start with something smaller. And you **will** dump it. I think everyone has. ---

I’m also looking for a bike; but I’ve ridden before although I never got my license; when’s everyone taking the MSF; I’m defenetly taking it, and it’d be great to have some people I know there too. ---

> [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > If you’ve never riden before, I’d start with something smaller. > > And you **will** dump it. I think everyone has. You think wrong Jay 😃 I bought a brand new GSXR 750 in 2002 for my very first bike. No MSF course, almost 0 riding experience. All i heard was, OMG youre gonna drop it, youre gonna crash, youre gonna kill yourself, its the end of the world, etc :blah: Never dropped it. 😃 Rode it and had a blast with it, and in the end i was realllllly glad i got the 750 right off the bat, because as i got better i grew into using more of the bikes potential, instead of having to sell some cheesy starter bike and start looking for another one all over again. I think if she takes the course, and takes it slow in the beginning she’ll be just fine. And IMO no reason to buy a slower bike that would get gay after about a month because the one you really want is not the one you got. The bike only goes as fast as the driver lets it. 😉 😃 Oh and thats a good idea on the MSF thing, you guys should get a few of you in on it to go together, I think it would make it more fun to have a few speeders there to talk to :tup: ---

I had my new F3 back in '99 that I rode, and i “dropped” it… LOL… not riding it, but walking it out of the garage, the kickstand caught the bottom rail of the garage door and moved back just past center; so when I went to set the bike back on the stand, it collapsed in, and the bike and I tipped over in the driveway; LOL. Where’s everyone going for bike INS? I called Geico and they wanted $2300 for a '03 R6; Progressive wants almost $1K. ---
