Looking for Opinions

Don't buy a bike for your siblings, since your mom doesn't want them riding. By the bike an surprise her ??? That is not a surprise she will enjoy, so maybe tell her you already picked one an break the news to her gently. Don't know your mom :laugh: be a good idea to make sure she would allow a motorcycle to stay at her home if they hate bikes :poke: ,
 
okay well I have someone coming to look at my bike tomorrow so if they buy it I will be getting the Busa. If not, I told my mom about it and although she thinks it is a waste of money she didnt seem to disapprove of letting them ride under the rules I would have for them. I guess I will see what happens tomorrow. Another thing that came to mind if I didnt get them the bike was maybe to buy a sport quad and then I would have one to have fun on and I could also teach them to ride with the clutch so when they do get a bike they will already know how to run the clutch.
 
A few years on a Ninja 250 outta teach safe riding habits and skills for the younger inexperienced riders. I would not consider a big bike until you are totally comfortable with riding. (IE many many miles of experience). I say miles because there is always that guy that says, "well i been riding for 15 years blah blah" but i only put on 1,000 miles a year.... I only been riding for just a hair under 3 years but have nearly 70K miles of experience from Canyons, street, to the boring freeway and just about every possible bad scenario you could be in around stupid drivers to critical parts that failed on my bike while riding.

I agree the 250 is a great starter bike. I have been keeping an eye out for one for them but havent found one for a good deal around where I live in South Dakota. Preferably I would like to get them a 250 but since this one is a good deal I was thinking about getting it. Also, I planned on taking it down to the shop in town and seeing if there was anything they could do that would give it a little less power even if I felt it had too much for them to start.
 
Ninja 250s are everywhere, any year model will do. The 2008+ ones are a bit more but the previous gen from 07 on down are easily found for less then 2-2.5k in good shape.

IMHO I would wait for your siblings to get a little older so they gain some maturity and can make the responsible decision themselves. How would you feel if one of them were seriously injured or killed on a bike YOU provided against your mother's wishes.
I would get your Busa and help your brother/sister out if you can when the time is right.

gen 1 (cant afford a new gen 2). and yes, it would be about 450 to 550 a year for the same coverage I have on my R6 right now.
 
well, I just sold my R6 so once I get ahold of the guy with the Busa I will hopefully be able to set up a time to go pick it up.
 
I have a question for those of you who have done the gen II tail mod. I would really like to do this to my Busa I am about to go get, and was wondering if those of you who have done it would be willing to let me know what it cost you to do yours. I know it will depend on what price I can find the parts for and what not, just trying to get a good general idea from those of you who have done it already. If you would like you can PM me if you dont want to post it for everyone to see. Id really appreciate it, thanks guys/gals.

While ur siblings are still minors, respect your mothers wishes and don't put them on a motorcycle. I know it sucks, but NEVER go against your mom. Either they'll have to convince her, with your help, or they'll have to wait a few more years. Just make sure they're mature enuf to take on the responsibility. Same goes 4 u young man, the Busa is no joke. She's a big machine and requires, like all bikes actually do, a mature and responsible rider. Good luck

+1 on this.
Good advice.
 
momma says motorcycles are the devil! ok off the bobby boucher water boy movie, I say sell thr r6 buy the f4i and let the family have fun on it you will get more money for the r6 towards the busa
 
1. Sell my bike, buy the Busa you want.

No matter the bike, keep riding, gaining experience, ride smart/safe. One crash might keep you from riding for the rest of your life.
 
He has sold the r6 and wants info about the gen2 tail mod on the gen 1 he will be getting.
post #30 and #31 this thread.

Does anyone read all the posts:rofl:

Do a search,i know there are at least a couple guys on here that have done it.
