Hey everyone, I'm new to the community.
I'm trying to decide which would be a better bike to get, an '87 CBR 600F or an '86 gixxer 1100? I've never ridden before and plan on taking the riding courses once I get my motorcycle lisence. I'm 16 and live in Ontario, so I dont know if there would be a big difference in insurance between the two (I already know im going to get raped.. but how much?)
Those are the only two bikes Ive found in good shape so far, the price for the CBR was $2700 canadian obo, and the guy with the gixxer wanted $2500.
I've been reading posts here for a while and it seems the general consensus is that its easier to learn on 600, but since im still in school and only make decent money during the summer would it be better to get the gsxr1100?
I also wouldn't be able to afford all the safety gear as it is, so I convinced my parents to pitch in that part
Thanks, Aaron
