Hey everyone! 🏍️
I’m looking for some honest advice, especially from experienced motorcycle riders.
I’m interested in buying a big motorcycle, somewhere between 600cc and 1000cc. The thing is, I’m still a beginner. I’ve only learned how to ride on a small 140cc motorcycle, and I don’t have much experience with powerful bikes yet.
I really love sport bikes and naked bikes, and I’m trying to figure out which motorcycle would be the best choice for me.
Would it be a bad idea to jump straight from 140cc to a 600cc or even a 1000cc? Should I start with something like a 300cc or 400cc first, or could I safely learn on a bigger bike with enough discipline and proper training?
I’d also appreciate recommendations for a motorcycle that’s comfortable, manageable, reliable, and suitable for both city riding and longer trips.
If you were in my position, what motorcycle would you recommend?

Has anyone with a 25+ z900 found spools that work on the rear. I have bought both a pair from cycle gear as well as the one kawasaki has listed on their website for the z900 and neither stick out far enough. The ones from kawasaki were a joke and weren't even close to fitting.

I'm from europe and i know americans have more disposable income then we do

But when you guys buy a bike, and for some reason, it doesn't sit right, or feels off, just not fun to ride

If you would sell within 1year? Whats the price you guys try to sell? Like 10 - 15%? Higher, lower?

Or even 1y 15k km or 1y 2k km also seems very different when selling

Hey yall M28 6’4 260 Lbs here., I’ve been looking at getting a sports bike recently (I’ve ridden dirt bikes, atvs, and rode on parents Harley’s since I was little) and I was wondering what bikes you’d recommend? I was thinking around a 600 or 700 due to my height and weight and was looking at the Yamaha RX7 (ABS) or Ninja 650 (ABS). Wanted to find out y’all’s opinions or other recommendations!
