I dont know all that much about bikes...but my brother has had them all his life from 600's to hayabusa's and i asked him what a good starter bike would be..and he said a 600 is a good size...i asked him what make is reliable he told me to try to get a gsxr 600 because they are light, good...
I live in NY state and i am looking for a 400ex...it has to have no mechanical problems or problems with the frame...im looking to spend about 2000 dollars...preferably has nerbars...maybe a slip on or full....thanks
