250cc or 1300cc Land speed bullet?



Good choice.
if you dont have much experience riding you should go for the Ninja250 to start with just to get a feel for it. sport bike+squid=flesh crayon. the course will teach you stuff you will use everyday and will save your life. As far as the best bike out there i own both a 2005 CBR1000 and a turbo 05 YZF-R1 and i love the R1 it is an amazing bike. the Busa is made for drag racing and other than the ninja 250 stay away from kawi and suzi they both offer alot but they dont compare to the new honda and yamaha series. As far as gear, full leathers or kevlar/nomex with armor plates is the best you can do if you go down. boots and gloves too as long as they are good leather. Get a good Snell or DOT certified helmet and you will be set. happy riding and remember burn rubber not your soulWhat is the BEST street bike %26amp;%26amp; gear?!?
Haha, do not start out on a hayabusa. Start with something light and small. I'm 6'3'' and 198 lbs. and have started with a 250cc bike. Gain some skills for about a year before you tackle on the really powerful bikes (educated opinion). More powerful, bigger bikes aren't as forgiving. The power and weight really takes some time to get used to if you're a beginner. Anyway, go with a ninja 250r, a rebel, a Hyosung gt250r, or something like those that I just mentioned. Now, your gear is just as important. The first poster mentioned a DOT and Snell approved helmet. That's a good start. I always ride with a jacket (leather with CE approved armor), pants (CE approved armor in the hips and knees), gloves, and boots. The jacket should be comfortable, well ventilated, and filled with armor in the elbows, shoulders, and sometimes the back (you can get a back protector if your jacket doesn't come with it). Leather is usually the best, but a lot of textile jackets use cordura and other materials that have good abrasion resistance as well. Alpinestars manufactures amazing products, but they're not inexpensive. I personally like Teknic, Alpinestars, Tourmaster/Cortech, AGV, Spidi, Dainese, and some Joe Rocket products. Icon also produces some good products that offer style and protection. Here are some good websites to search for products.

Those are some good websites with decent prices. I suggest that you do a lot of research before purchasing a bike. Not all riders are created equal. If it takes you a year to learn on a small bike, then that's really nothing compared with how many years you'll spend riding (if you continue to do so).
Get a Ninja 250 to start...get good then upgrade to a ZX6R. After about 6 months to a year you will be ready for something bigger and the ZX6R is a good bike. As far a gear goes try Joe Rocket or Alpinestars they are both high quality and affordable.



Please for the sake of yourself and everyone else on the streets.....do not get a liter bike for your first! You are doing the right thing by taking formal training and they will teach you things that you will use on a daily basis.



Good luck!What is the BEST street bike %26amp;%26amp; gear?!?
Go with the Kawi 250...also ICON makes a large selection of womens riding gear in just about every color you can imagine.
