Default v6 just doesnt do it for me

after having my mustang for a little over a year ive decided to get a bike instead of upgrading, a gt was an option, but im 17 and dont need to be paying 500 a month for a car payment. i figured a bike is faster than my mustang could ever be and its alot cheaper, so why not. im thinking a gixxer 600 or a ninja zx-6r

also alot more dangerous, more likely to get into an accident, and more likely to get pulled over. NOT saying dont get one, my bro has a 600 cc bike and its a blast to ride but watch out for dumbasses on the road, if ur in their blind spot and they hit you, GOODBYE. just watch out, be carefull

Hey good luck to you, thanks for letting us all know that you are going to have the capabilities to go from 0-100MPH in about 3 seconds.....that makes the roads much safer....

17 years old + Ninja level bike? There's a sure recipe for safety and responsible motor vehicle operation.

I'd give my 17 year old a loaded revolver and a case ofJagermeisterfirst..... imho no one should be operating one of those type bikes until they're old enough for the fact that they're NOT actually immortal and/or indestructable to truly register (which usually occurs sometime in the 20's)

What's the insurance rate on a bike like that?

In FL if the bike is paid off you dont even need insurance. dont know about other states.

I pretty sure all vehicles here in VA have to have insurance......it wouldn't be fair other wise.

I just sold two harleys that we've been riding for 12 years and bought a '06 V6 Mustang.

On a MC, it's not IF you'll lay it down, it's WHEN.
I liad mine down when a local college student turned left in front of me - luckily I walked away with just a few scratches.
Too many folks just don't see bikes on the road.

Dude - stay with the car, and take it as a challenge to make it perform better than a GT. You'll be better off in the long run.

My young friend, I am 48 and I have been riding bikes since I was 11. Bikes are great! They are as safe as you ride them. I support your wantinf to ride but if I can give you some advise. Take a rider course and if your gonna race or drag take it to a track. Just respect the machine it doesn't care if you ride it into a tree.
When I was 17 I rode summer and winter since the bike was my only transportation and mine was a 125cc bike not the awsomely powerful bikes of today.
Good luck Phil

Crappy light car vs a bike....Which vehicle would you prefer to be in?

Note the bike was proceding through a green light. Being on a bike makes you more vulnerable to EVERYONE'S stupidity, not just your own mistakes....
