I hope you meant to say Kawasaki ZX-10R. The GSX-R is the suzuki. i also must say, Its stupid and pointless to hop on a big bike as your first bike especially. Most of the people ive seen first hand and heard about going that route have had terrible/embarrassing outcomes. People think they got balls casue they go out to the dealer and get a brand new 1000 for the first bike. Its usually assholes like this that give all us legit sportbike riders a bad rep. People who are in it for the love of the sport or just have some common sence, are wiser and will be riding for many more years. I say get off the Ego trip. Ive been riding a 600 for the past few years and im 6'1" 235 LBS. and Its plenty of bike. Once you get some mileage and experience under your ass, then consider going bigger.
May I ask what it is you do that you can blow 25-35 grand on a bike at the age of 17? I mean, lets say the DUCATI was 25-30 grand, how can you afford that? ... Line of family wealth and you just don't know what to do with money? or are you pushin' drugs?
seriously man, if ur parents are rich, and ur pockets are deep because of them, DONT JEOPARDIZE UR LIFE.... especially cuz you get everything you want......trust me, this aint something ur gonna want....(hypothetically if ur pockets were deep)
but then again, if it was deep....WTF r u doing on a CIVIC forum? u belong on a BMW or something forum
I'd say get a used 600cc. Fuck around with it for about 6 months to a year, depending on how long it takes you to get comfortable with riding. After that, you can dish out the 30 grand for a ducati if you want.
But considering you're 17, young, probably gonna do some dumb shit (no offense), and most likely have your limbs amputated, i'd say hold off on the bike. Wait until you get some maturity under your skin before you get a one.
I don't understand what ppl's fascination to have a superbike when 98% of the riders out there can't even handle it. A 600 is the smartest choice especially for a new rider and yes you're only 17. I don't know you're history you could have a ton of dirtbike experience but the fact that you can't even name the manufactures bike correctly is a bad sign off the bat. Regardless we all ride for different reasons and use different bikes for different conditions/situations but I don't think a 1000cc bike is in your best interests.
