Beginner Motorcycle
What is a good beginner sportbike? Who makes the most reliable bike (Honda, BMW, SUZUKI, YAMAHA, etc.). I would REALLY like a crotch rocket, but I'm not sure.

This question may be a little old, but here goes anyway...
Like ygsgirl said, do not go out and buy a gsxr, rr, or any other bike of that caliber, most likely you will end up like ygsgirl's friend.
First, thoroughly read [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It will go over the basics of buying a bike for a beginner. One of the things this site tell you to do is to take an MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) course if your state offers it. This is an absolute MUST in my opinion.
You also need to consider the cost of riding. You need to pay for the bike itself, gas, upkeep&maintaining it, gear and clothing, insurance, and other expenses.
If you still want to ride, start small. Since you like the sport bike style If I were you I would consider the Kawasaki Ninja250, or if you are mature enough, the Ninja500. Both are great choices, and can be found used for relatively cheap.
Yes, I ride, and know a fair thing or two, so feel free to chat if you would like some more advice.

I can't tell you which would be a good beginner's bike, but I CAN tell you a crotch rocket is NOT it.
They are fast and dangerous, and should only be driven by experienced riders.
I know a guy who got one for a "beginner" and didn't make it very far down the road before he wrecked so bad he is very lucky to still be alive.
I know you want one, but wait a while on it. Make sure you get plenty of experience with a different sport bike before you jump on to a crotch rocket.
I hope someone will answer with what would be a good beginner's sport bike.
