Thats insane, I had progressive way cheaper.
My first bike: 2000 Honda Super Hawk (996cc) was 645 for a year of PLPD
Second bike: 1993 Honda CBR 900 RR (stroked 1000+cc) was 210 for a year of PLPD.
Also I dont think I'd ever had a bike with full coverage unless I was making payments, if you drop it you'd most likely be fixing it yourself anyways.
Like i mentioned before I learned on a 1000cc 500+ pound bike and I wouldnt have it any other way, the 750 and lower bikes pull the wheel up to easy under power. I like it when the bike lays power down and you can still have the front on the ground.

And for your info that is from experience. Yes I learned to ride a street bike on that bike and in that 2-3K mile I put on it I have also made mid 9second passes down the quarter in Kansas City at KCIR. So yes I have experience learning on a fast bike. Maybe you shouldn't be giving advice If you haven't owned one of your own. And I also said this is the miles I put on this particular bike I started on, not how many miles (seat time) I have on a bike. Now if you want a mo-ped get one, if you want a bike you'll be happy with, get one.mgwshel said:Like you said, not trying to start an argument here, but...
2-3k miles on a bike is not speaking from experience. Hell, 25k is nothing. Talk to me when you have 100k of seat time. I do 2-3k a month. I'm not bragging, but again: the quality of advice you're going to get about motorcyling on a Mustang board is suspect.

Lots of cars pulling out in front of you on that dragstrip? Did you have to learn how to correctly hit the apex on a corner? Ever hit gravel in a turn out on that dragstrip?
I guess if you'd made clear that you were giving advice about how to get down a dragstrip on a stretched ZX7-R, and that was the extent of your experience, I'd buy it.
I thought we were talking about the real world. My bad.

Now did I say I only drove it on the drag strip? NO I did not. And yes I learned to ride the bike in traffic. No I am not giving advice on how to drag the bike. I was just explaining to him that if I could learn to ride a street bike like this that he would have no problem with a stock 600 R6 or equal bike. So how is this not the real world? Did I learn how to ride on the strip? No. I learned on a powerful bike in the "REAL WORLD". Have you ever owned one of these bikes? I'm guessing not. So why don't you ride your little skate board down to the bus stop and hop a ride to school on the short bus buddy. It's idiots like you who make it pointless to help give advice to others. There was no reason to go and start an arguement about this.

You have a huge e-penis.
But seriously, do we have to resort to name calling? I thought we were having a civilized discussion. That's what adults do.
I've been riding for 20 years, and own or have owned all manner of different sportbikes during that time. I haven't driven my car for 2 months, and I live 50 miles from work. I ride *every* day. I just want the guy to stay alive to enjoy the best hobby in the world.

OK man, I'll lay off. I neither want the kid to end up getting hurt. Nor am I saying he should learn on a bike built as much as I did. I just don't see a problem with starting out on a 600 sport bike as mentioned in the past post's. I personally have 3 very close friends who learned on these. 2 were on ZX-6's and the other a CBR600RR, which I actually showed him how to handle the bike. Anyway's, no more argueing with you bud. That is not how I wanted this to end up anyways. OK, by now I forgot who even started this threadmgwshel said:

Sounds good bud. Me and a friend went and bought quads last Nov. and he bought a new Banshee. Yamaha had some pretty nice deals going on. The total price on the Banshee was about $7,500 or so (he had extras put on the quad and taxes figured into that) and his payments are $75 per mo. Really cheap interest too for the first 2-3 yrs on the loan. Something to watch out on those deals though is the interest jumps very high after the first few yrs. so try to pay as much as possible when you can. Just a little advice when buying new and financing through a dealer. Actually all they do with their (dealer) loans is give you a credit card to use at any dealer of that particular manufacturer. Like when my friend got his Banshee they gave him a credit card with a $10,000 limit and but the bike on the CC. Anyways, happy shopping and keep us updated.mondos90lx said:
