Hey i need help. I trying to get my first bike and i dont know what to start out on. Im 6'3" and 210 pounds so i guess that would be an issue if i go with a small 1. im looking for a good used cheap one that would be good to keep as i get better. can any one help?

Usually I'd say go with a 250cc but since you are tall and heavy (actually you aren't heavy for your size but for a 250cc you would be), I'd look for something in the 600 range. If you have never ridden before I'd stay away from the GSXR's, R6/R1 by Yamaha, the rr Ninja's, CBR's or anything in the RR category. Suzuki makes a SV650 and a GSXF650 (replacement for the Katana). If you are looking for used bikes then look into an SV650 or a Katana if you are looking at Suzuki. Kawasaki Ninja 650R or the Ninja 500 or a zzr600. There are many bikes talk to some people they will all have their own recommendations.

ok thanks. yea i was looking at the katana and sv650 and they seemed like good bikes. i dont like the naked look of the sv650 but then i saw that you can by the plastic parts for it. i thought about the hyosung but then i saw a lot of bad reviews on it so i changed my mind.

The Katana is considered a "bullet" proof street bike. Great but it is carburated so unlike a newer SV that is fuel injected, depending what you want to do. The styles of katana are pre98 and 98-2006. The new GSXF, which they say is a full faring Bandit 650 is supposed to be a pretty good bike. But they are new for 2008. Good luck on anything you purchase and have fun!!

will the Katan be able to keep up with others who are riding gxsr's and cbr's? i know all out on the gas it wont. but just cruising and riding town will it?

Just riding around town and cruising will keep most bikes equal. I would recommend doing a google search on the bike ur interested in buying.
