Motorbike feeler.
SO first it was the Porsche bug and I still have it and its going strong. But unfortunatly for me a lot of P-car guys are Motorcycle guys when the mood strikes them. Which means I guess thats next, damn
 . I was wondering opinions on some good looking, somewhat fast, beginner bikes that arnt going to break the bank. The more pictures the better so have at it guys.

 Yamaha YZF-600r, plenty of used low mileage ones out there that you can find for very cheap. good acceleration and top speed. Highly reccommended beginners bike.

Do a search of motorcycles in the OT area. You will have a lot of responses.

I strongly advise against getting anything over 600CC if you have never ridden a bike before. I also reccommend taking a motorcycle training course.

....And DON'T get a Blast.
Not only will we make fun of you, but you'll have no end of mechanical issues...
