I want to buy a new street bike but never drove one i need some help.?
 

Im looking a the honda 600cbr the sales rep said he doesn't recommend I get one without experience. I have used to own a dirt bike before if that helps.should i take a riding training class before or after i get one?

well I would start off on something a little smaller. You want to get acclimated to all that horsepower. Having experience with a dirt bike helps but, as you know the rules have changed once you pull out into traffic. A training class wouldn't hurt but if you decide not to take it, start off slow and take it easy. At first ride as much as you can where traffic and other obstacles are not. MOST IMPORTANTLY NEVER NEVER LOSE RESPECT FOR THAT BIKE. Wear your helmet and be careful. Good luck with it.

a 600cc bike is quite powerful but with some confidence, practise, a good suit/helmat, and a training course the highway is as good as yours! also, there are 250ccers that would be a very good training bike if you can't get used to the 600cc

before, you should do it before because if you buy and then take the lessions after and you dont like the bike, then chances are, they wont give you your money back.

Do not buy the bike before you learn how to ride!!!!































I have ridden bikes for 36 years and know what I am talking about. Find a motorcycle riders training course and get enrolled now. After you have taken the course get a bike that you will not be afraid to get scratched up. As anyone who has ridden for a while will tell you you are going to dump the bike a time or two before you get good at it. Start with a smaller bike because they are not so hard to pick back up after you lay it on its side.

Not only should you take a training course but you start off with a less powerful bike. I belong to a State Community Road Safety Council in my country and many young people are killed for the very reasons I am saying this to you. You may be able to handle the bike ok but that little old lady driver who misjudges your take off speed from the lights and turns across in front of you is not so aware ~~
