if someone has knowledge on how to ride a dirtbike though and can ride a dirtbike well imo they can absolutely ride a streetbike, i understand they are completely different but that persone should be able to pick up very quickly

Sick vids man. Hopefully I'll get another ATV next year.
Well I guess clutch control on a streetbike and dirtbike are different? Upshifting and downshifting? These things are relevant in my opinion. It sounds like something simple but don't you think that its important to shift smoothly in turns? Downshift with speed to slow down faster if neccessary?

Not to be a dik, but I am in this case. This whole topic is silly. There was a time this would have been flamed, closed, and deleted.

Guys I appreciate the advice on if it is ill advised to purchase a bike due to financial reasons. I wasn't asking about that aspect though. I was leaning more towards fun factor. Like I said I'll keep my car the way it is and if I decide to sell it, it will be the whole car as it sits.
When I drive the same roads in my car the I take on my bike, I am actually faster in my car, but feel much more excited by the rush of speed on the bike. As I get older I like the safer feeling of the car more.
OP, I am considering selling my 99 Yamaha R1 - its beautiful, but just not getting the use it deserves. Let me know if you are interested.

I sold my DRZ 400SM supermoto a few weeks back to get another turbo kit. Going to take a break this summer from riding and going to stick it out at the lake. I made $500 more then I paid for the bike. Right now is the time to sell bikes there are so many on craigslist. Going with a bigger moto next year either a KTM or Ducati Hypermotard. One of the two haven't decided yet. Need to ride one of the Hypermotards first, been on plenty of KTM moto's.

I think it is stupid to base the cc off your riding experience. I started on a Zx-6r and wish i would have just paid the extra few grand for a Yam R1. Mainly for the body.....and me being 6'6". I've seen dudes hop on a 1000 cc bike and just take off and i've seen dudes buy a 250 and dump it in the dealers lot the day they bought it. Its all about your abilities. the best way is to test your self on a dirt bike if at all possible in my opp. Its like a skateboard, some people have it and some dont.

Used to have a 600 which I learned to ride on, rode for almost 2 years.. It got stolen.
I am deployed to Iraq right now and havent ridden in almost 2 years thanks to the Army. I really want a 750 but a buddy is selling his 1000 for an awesome deal... If he sells it though before I get back then i am going to get a 750.
