    The bike I've been wanting for a long time is a Hyosung Avitar 650. Not expensive but I love the way it looks.

    See profile photo! Mine is a Kawasaki GPZ500. I'm in the UK - I think it was called the Kawasaki Ninja 500R in the US. I passed my full motorbike test just last month and this is my first "big bike". Couldn't wait to upgrade from my 125 :)
    p.s. happy to see so many other female riders!

    I ride both and find this comment to be pointless and unnecessary.

    Too cute! I want to paint my Virago white with pink flames, but my husband thinks it'll hurt the resale value :laugh:

    Thank you! :) And you should go for it!!! I had to fight for my pink bike (it was painted before I bought it). People would be surprised how much rare colors can sell for - there are people who want that paint job specifically but don't want to pay for the paint job themselves, ya know?

    And for the record, when I read your response to the "pointless and unnecessary" comment, I wanted to applaud you. Thank you for saying what I was thinking! :D LOL

    I ride a Honda CR 230L for my street bike, and for my off-road bikes, I have a Honda CRF 250 and a Suzuki RM 125. My husband rides a Honda 650 for his street bike.

    We like them all.

    Glad to see there are some people on here who a bike enthusiasts!

    The bike I keep going to is the Ducati Monster 696, even though I know it wouldn't be the best bike for me to start on. Expensive, doesn't have great clearance (for leaning on the track), but it's so damn exotic! A real rare beast in this neck of the woods! Oh, and the sound! *drool*

    My biggest problem with something like the SV650 is that EVERYONE has one! I love to be different, stand out from the crowd.

    As for anyone saying that it would be a waste to buy an expensive bike, just to drop it (I know I will) and have it written off... That's what insurance is for. :P

    I ride a 2000 R1 but have ridden a few others to include a VTX 1300 and 1800's. I think you should buy a nice bike. However, I do believe in buying used, especially for a very first bike. :) Also, before you spend money on upgrades spend it on safety equipment and training. Just my .02.
