Questions about Motorcycles

Minsu

So im looking to buy the Yamaha Fz6r 2013 in Pearl White.
Now do I haggle as if im buying a car?
My three bike Choices were Suzuki Gsx-R600/ Yamaha fz6r/ Kawasaki Ninja 650R.

Any advise, ideas, anything.

Thanks.

$5000 in cash right now sounds a lot better than $6500 over the term of the deal in person.

Why does this strike me as an absolutely terrible idea?

You can't avoid hitting things and getting hit in your car. Now you want a bike?

Not to mention you're looking to get a 650 as your first bike. It's obviously your first bike, because of the question you asked in your first post. You know what a good starter bike is? A 250. Start there.

Have you ever ridden one?

Before you buy a bike, go take the motorcycle safety course. Then decide on a bike.

I havent read anything after this but I cannot stress how important this is! If you have no experience riding, a NEW 600 is not for you. I understand you are a bigger guy and a 250 will be incredibly underpowered. However, I suggest you look at some older non fuel injected models and start with something a bit slower so you can actually gain some real riding skills.

Also, the 600 will get old to you after a while, so as I said start with an older bike that you wont cry when you drop it and then upgrade to a 750-1000 once you have some riding under your belt. TAKE THE SAFETY COURSE

A defensive/safety course is a good idea for any type of new (to you) vehicle. I took a company-sponsored defensive driving course many years ago and, even though I had been driving for 6-7 years, I still learned a lot.

Very true. I try to take a riding course once a year. But I don't get to ride but once a year.

I use to ride.. a 250 is a good starter bike, but you'll have it a few weeks before you want to be on at least a 600.

I've had 2 GSXRs and a R6.. a 600 is more than enough to get you killed or seriously hurt. So just be careful, I've lost 4 friends on speed bikes, thats why I gave it up almost 2 years ago.
