Questions about Motorcycles

In California where lane splitting is legal, you hear a motorcycle fatality every two days, causing huge traffic jam. Natural selection at play

They lane split all the time, lol

Minsu I know we dont know each other but I try to look out for everyone, especially my car brothers. I have to agree with Chuck on this one. If you cant resist please take a basic rider course (if it isnt required where you live), dont use it as a daily driver, and somehow be more observant than when you drive.

I think my college actually offers classes, I see them in the lot with an instructor. So maybe I can get in with them

Yes. Get a smaller bike to start with, i.e. 250. You won't regret it. If I can go back in time I would definitely get a 250 instead of my 600. Ride the 250 for a season or two, then upgrade.

As for the haggle, are you buying it from a private sale or a dealership? If dealership then $1500 off on a $6000 bike is rare. That's 25% off. Unless they are doing the clearance, still rare. Sometimes they will give you the discount but increase the all the doc fees so at the end you will probably only get a few hundred dollars off.

If this is your first bike I would strongly recommend getting a pre-owned. There are tons of 250s (Ninja, CBR) on Craigslist. If you are lucky you can probably make a profit on the 250 when you sell it next season.

Good luck.

Hmm I could probably afford the 250cc like now it's just that the bike is going look small on me you know?

The last thing on your mind when you're learning how to ride is how the rider to bike ratio looks.

I'm six two, and quite lean. Be honest the 250cc bike is going to look small

So what. Small when learning is better because the bike doesn't have enough power to get out of it's own way, so you can improve your technique. Then, when you have some miles under your belt, get a bike you feel comfortable with its power.

I'm not saying this because the 250s are cool to ride, I'm saying it because your safety should be more paramount than how the rider looks on the bike. Other bikers will know what you're doing, and no one should (really) ever give you crap about a "big guy on a little biiiiike".

Unless you're buying the bike to look cool in the first place

If you need a motorcycle to feel power between your legs, you're doing it wrong.
