Hi my name is Christian
I'm trying to figure out what kind of bike i should get... i know what type i want (street bike) but i dont know all the ins and outs of a bike. for example i weigh about 135-145 and im about 6 foot(also im 16 years old)So i dont know what would be good for my weight. my budget also plays into my problem... i got about 5000 to 7000 to spend depending on who i can squeeze money out of.
ANY advice would be very helpful to me.
Thankyou

well i dont know... it seemed like every bike ive looked at was like 8-9 k but if you say you've had nice bikes then i guess im wrong. yeah its my first bike and im looking for sport im not quite sure what standard is exactly but i know most of the bikes i like are sport

whatever the heck that is sposed to mean... is wrong... im getting a bike for a few reasons you idoit...none of which are stereotypical unless you like to save money and are poor... in that case... YES im a stereotype of a poor white 16 year old...

for the none idoits that are looking at this thread...
2003 r1 yamaha - $6000 the bike is in good condition

yeah sorry i havnt replyed i was busy.
I brought up the R1 because i was only curious about it.
second of all i go to the best public school in los angeles and i get straight As
third and finnaly i am poor and the only reason a bike like a R1 would be affordable as far as insurance goes is because i get really REALLY cheap (but good) insurance from AAA

also about the idoit comment it was directed toward the one guy that called me a stereotype 16 year old... im far from it
i hope this clears this argument up

oh and thanks for the advice
