Motorcycle Safety & Driveability: Starting Bike, honda 600 hornet, suzuki sv 650


Question
Im 19, 5.8 and weight about 150lbs. Ive been riding a 150cc moped, for the past 3 and im sick of it. I see all of these people with their suzsuki hayabusas, and their yamaha zx-14's, and im jealous. I plan on taking a motorcyle training course before i purchase a bike. But i just wanted to know if i should get a crotch rocket type or a more traditional chopper type. any help you an give me would be great!

Answer
If you can hire a motorcycle to do your training course, do that first.  I would recommend that you start with a relative small capacity motorcycle and work up, having got the experience of the road first,  If you are into to street bikes, what about a Yamaha 600 Fazer, Honda 600 Hornet, Suzuki SV 650

Good luck
