Am i crazy for wanting a supersport motorcycle?
I'm 18 and just bought a Honda grom. Rode it for 3 days and I'm enjoying it. Took my msf course and everything. But after riding a friends gsxr 600 i want a supersport myself. Bikes came really natural to me and i still respect them (not the grom) I love adrenaline and the grom already bores me after 3 days and 64 miles. Is this even normal for a first time rider?
What is your insurance budget? 18 year olds and 160mph street legal track bikes cost a small fortune to insure.
Yes. Going fast is fun. Trying to stop is not. You have no idea how far you will go trying to stop from 100mph.
Good luck finding an insurance company to cover you
If you think it's crazy that's good.
Learn to really ride tomorrow to keep riding for tomorrow.
Yeah, all noobs are immortal. Once you've bitten the tarmac a few times you'll learn.
"the grom already bores me after 3 days and 64 miles"
Then you aren't doing it right.
Wait a minute, it's boring? I thought you said you were enjoying it. If you think your Grom is boring, wait till you ride a bed in an ICU for a few weeks. If you like adrenaline, go to an amusement park, public roads are not there to provide noobs a place to demonstrate what inexperience + immaturity + excess horsepower does to tender young flesh and bones.
Easy, Pard. Learn to walk before you run. Riding straight is the Easy part. Learning to Crash, well, is the Hard part.
Crazy? My club discussed this, we agreed, just Riding, especially with these idiot cagers, Is Crazy, alone. It's just Crazi-Er riding a 182 MPH 'sickle.
The heart wants what the heart wants.
"I love adrenaline and the grom already bores me after 3 days and 64 miles."
Nah. You aren't crazy. Just too young to respect the power of a motorcycle. Any motorcycle, let alone a bloody supersport.
- What is the best supersport for me? I'm in the market for a 600cc supersport. I have looked at Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph, and MV Agusta. I like certain things about each one, but also have some dislikes. How can I decide which one is right for me? I have sat on all of them with the exception of the MV Agusta and the newest version of the Triumph.
- You say do I need to keep the Bell helmet the renter wore when he slipped, and crashed my motorcycle? My motorcycle is the 2008? Honda CBR600RR super sport motorcycle. The Cofounder of Riders- Share.Com compensated me the full amount of the motorcycle repairer's written damage estimate. I was also fully compensated for the helmet, which the renter wore when he crashed my motorcycle and my helmet.
- What is the best sportbike/supersport bike, motorcycle, for someone 6ft2in and 195 lbs? I have been looking at Kawasaki Ninja and Honda CBR series however open to anything. What are some specifications I should look for on a bike? Wanted some opinion of fellow riders to give me some guidance. Any is greatly appreciated!
- Motorcycle no lights/start after wash? I have a 1981 Honda custom 500. Sprayed it at the car wash got it home, no lights and completely dead, won't turn over, charged battery and still nothing. Possibly bad regulator?
