Is a 2007 Honda CBR a bad beginners motorcycle?

I got a really good deal for 1, 500… I'm afraid i won't get an offer like this again… Its in very good condition but i'm also afraid its not a good beginners motorcycle. Ah

1,500 what? Rubles? Lira? Dollars? Sterling Pounds?
CBR what? 125cc, 250cc, 500cc etc?
Where in the world are you, where you will be riding?

Even if it's in dollars i think you should go for it because honda is known for reliability and comfort

CBR what? If its:
1100XX? HELL NO.
1000RR? NO.
600RR? No.
600F? Um, still nope.
500R? Sure.
400RR? That's one rare bird. A real collectible. At this price, Its a steal.
250RR? That thing has a 19,000rpm redline! It holds a RECORD of highest revving production & road legal 'vehicle' (read vehicle, not motorcycle!). That thing is a TRUE CLASSIC! Grab it! Grab it and sell it to me for $500 more!
250R? HELL 'YES'.
125R? HELL 'YEAH'.
Here you go, mate. Wish you best of luck.
Peace.

It is not a good deal if you can't ride it, it will turn into an expensive dusty sculpture in the corner of your garage until you sell it for half what it would have been worth if it had been ridden regularly.

If it is in such good condition it will not be sold at a knockdown price, if you know nothing about bikes how can you tell that it is in good condition?

  • Sport bike maintenance for beginners? I have a 2004 honda cbr 600 f4i and I want to be able to keep it running and not have to worry. What are some things I need to know for keeping the bike well maintained? By that I mean when should I check oil, tire pressure, etc. And when do I need to change the chain and all that kinda stuff. And is there just any general tips I could use?
  • Is a Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe a good beginners bike? Looking at a 2005 Shadow VLX Deluxe 600cc for my first bike. I'm 6' 1'' 190lbs. Just don't want to go too small and have to upgrade to soon, but don't want to die either. Don't need anything with crazy power or speed, just getting around town and some cruising.
  • Is a Honda cbr600 a good beginners bike? I'm 13 years old, and i'm saving up for one. I rode my brothers pit bike on the highest gear possible, while going very fast and going through slippery sand. I was comfortable on it. I feel that a 250cc or a 300cc motorbike is too small. I like the looks and how fast the cbr600rr goes. What do you think of it?
  • Honda cbr 125, 2007 too small for me? I'm 5'9 and weight 170lbs, I feel like my motorcycle is too small for me, what bike would be better for my size? I have 2 years riding experience, I'm 18.
