Yes there is. People sometimes turbo the higher CC bikes, Busas/ZX14s.

Try a Honda VTX or a Yamaha VStar.

Does anyone else keep up with MotoGP? Just watched the grand prix of Germany. Marquez has been destroying all his competition.

Yeah he does crash in qualifying quite a bit. Did it this weekend as well. Came around a corner and accidentally shifted to third, went high side. He's money when it counts though.

Planning on starting to ride next spring/summer but I am torn between the Ninja 300 and CBR300R. Can anyone experienced help me out to differentiate the two?

Neither one, start with at least a 600 otherwise you will get bored quick and bike will be for sale within 6 months, it never fails

Yup. Get a 600 and call it a day.

That would pretty much be one season. How much money would I lose on the bike if I bought one and then sold it once I got bored?

Agrees with these to. U just gotta be easy with it n patient. Unless u feel uncomfortable with a 600 n
Prefer a 300/250.
The I say get a 250/300 that's used. Never get a new bike unless ur
An experienced rider n know wut u want to a teeeeeee.
Its realative bro.
So many
Factors. But just realize that a new bike can is diff to sale at blue book most of the time.
Beware of low ballers like me

Welp, might take the classes in mid August to get my licence. Never rode a bike before but said **** it and let me try. Any suggestions?

I know around here, 250s and 300s sit forever because nobody really wants them. The only people looking to buy those are brand new riders or women, which means they don't want to spend a whole lot of money. Definitely don't buy a brand new one because you won't get your money back. I saw a dude who had to drop a Ninja 300 down to $2000 just to try to move it. I almost bought it just to beat the hell out of it... Then I came to my senses.
Listen to the fellas in here. Either go get a used 250 for the super low, or just get a 600. Another word of advice, always look up book values before going to see a bike in person. I quickly realized that many people price their bikes based on sentimentality, and not reality. If you do that you don't have to worry about making a bad deal. KBB and NADA are your friends.
If you have any other questions, post them. This is one of the most helpful threads I have seen on NT in a while.

definitely relative, largely dependent on whether you buy new or used...
as to what you should actually get, i think, contrary to the popular wisdom here, starting small/on a tamer bike is a good idea (with the added benefit that the smaller bike will likely be dirt cheap to insure as a new rider) people get bored on 600s & liter bikes too...yea you might want more power eventually, or you might also find that the 300 (honda's got a few sporty 500cc models too) is all you need, who knows? not advising against a 600, just that a lower cc bike might be a viable option...i would definitely recommend buying used (and either bringing a knowledgeable friend/mechanic, or getting your weight up on what to look for on a used bike), whatever you decide on getting; unless you just want the peace of mind of a new bike...
good luck!
