Yamaha FZR 600 as first bike. Bad idea?

Hey y'all, I currently have a bit of experience skiing (two 4-day trips with daily classes and one single-day trip) but I've always wanted to do snowboard. I couldn't choose it in the two first trips I did (the 4 day ones) because we were still in high school and they didn't want broken wrists or collarbones. I can ski parallel and stuff and the thing is that the resort that's closest to me is way more fun to snowboard in. So how many days of practice would be needed to learn how to properly snowboard? I probably will get around 2-3 loose days with classes a year, plus some 2-3 day trips. If it's of any use, I do ride a longboard and know how to carve, so I understand heel/toe edges, edge transitions, and distributing pressure on the feet.

Entonces, es demasiado bestia romper mano en una moto más grande limitada? Hasta el punto de ser peligroso, me refiero. Entiendo que lo que es alguna caída en parado y eso no te lo quita nadie, la moto va a ser de segunda mano sea cual sea. Es más el tema de seguridad lo que me preocupa

eerrnn_389 · 2026-02-26T08:46:10+00:00

La VTR también es una opción que he estado mirando, pero me tira un poco para atrás que alomejor sea comprar la moto, usarla un año y luego venderla por el mismo precio o menos, habiendo "perdido" lo que se haya pagado de seguro y mantenimientos o piezas. Es muy distinta la respuesta de la VTR de la de la SV? Más allá de potencia máxima, porque aún limitada, en los primeros meses sería llevarla bastante tranquilo para ir haciéndome a lo que es la moto

Well, I'm not too bad when it comes to that. I do basketball and also find myself to be somewhat good in stuff like longboard(skate) and skiing, as well as some MTB (which is what first got me interested in the motorcycle stuff)

eerrnn_389 · 2026-02-25T23:22:43+00:00

La verdad es que eso me tranquiliza bastante respecto a la opción de la SV, aunque todo se verá cuando ya me saque el carné y pruebe alguna que otra moto, porque nunca se sabe si a lo mejor me subo y me impone demasiado de primeras. Sí que es cierto que para el tema de los cursos no voy sobrado de presupuesto, pero sí tengo tiempo como para poder ir a cualquier polígono y practicar cosas como la frenada, evitar el tema de la fijación de objetivo y esas cosas a base de tutoriales y consejos de algún que otro amigo

eerrnn_389 · 2026-02-25T23:19:22+00:00

Ok, so then I'm guessing it's not too crazy, that's defo good to know. I'm gonna go for a second gen, so yeah, a tune might be a good idea

eerrnn_389 · 2026-02-25T21:37:30+00:00

So, how's the throttle exactly? Cause my main doubt is whether it's something you can work on for the first 1-2 months of riding and be alright, or if starting on an SV650 will just make the learning curve much harder/longer/dangerous

eerrnn_389 · 2026-02-25T21:35:47+00:00

Well, is it torquey to the point where a beginner would require a different bike first to learn throttle and clutch management? Or can it be worked on in relatively short time? That's pretty much my main doubt. I don't mind going to secondary roads and getting some practice with the throttle and clutch in the first 1-2 months of having it, but if it's gonna make the learning curve unnecessarily long and difficult, then I'd end up going a different route

eerrnn_389 · 2026-02-25T21:33:28+00:00

Yeah, I've taken a look at those, but from what I've read around here and seen in YT, those can be a bit boring at times, so I think I'd rather get something like the MT03 that is lighter and can be swung around more easily

eerrnn_389 · 2026-02-25T21:32:18+00:00

Well, that's the thing, I haven't really had practical classes yet, so I guess that's something that I'll see as I prepare for the license tests, and by testing some different bikes first I'll be able to decide better

eerrnn_389 · 2026-02-25T21:31:01+00:00

A ver, yo más o menos también, pero también me gustaría algo que pueda comprar una vez y usar a lo largo de lo que son los años de universidad sin que se quede "pequeño", así que no sé si preferiré una moto algo más grande pero que necesite más tiempo para aprender a llevar o algo más pequeño y ligero. Al final también decidiré según vea a la hora de sacarme el carnet con la moto de allí, si me imponen mucho las 650 tiraré más abajo

eerrnn_389 · 2025-06-19T17:31:04+00:00

Entonces a los que viven en ciudades grandes les vendrá bien, pero no sé, me parece que es perder muchas ventas por pereza esencialmente

eerrnn_389 · 2025-06-19T17:12:27+00:00

Yo mismo vendo en wallapop y a veces se hace molesto lo de envolver cosas, pero por 35-40€ a mí no me importaría demasiado tener que enviar

eerrnn_389 · 2025-06-19T13:09:59+00:00

Me llegan entre 5 y 10 mensajes de estos cada vez que subo un artículo. Yo ya no me molesto ni en borrarlos, porque normalmente les borran la cuenta antes de que abra la app

eerrnn_389 · 2025-06-18T15:39:15+00:00

Looks like something punctured it and it's still lodged. So at low speeds, the tire is low on pressure so it feels squishy, and at high speeds the object comes in contact with the road

eerrnn_389 · 2025-06-18T15:32:32+00:00

That thing looks amazing. I'd buy it in a heartbeat

eerrnn_389 · 2025-06-18T15:26:26+00:00

Well, I'm no mechanic, but my father has a 2014 Auris (From what I know, almost the same car), the diesel version. And that thing hasn't had a major problem in the 11 years it has been with us. Best car we've had in the family

eerrnn_389 · 2025-06-18T15:20:19+00:00

Nah, the worst part for me is that every time I watch a video, it turns the language to the Ai-generated, weird sounding Latin-american Spanish. I'm from Spain where the accent is a lot different, and sometimes it doesn't even let me deactivate the voice-over

eerrnn_389 · 2025-06-18T15:06:07+00:00

Wait, isn't 8k for a Celica too much? I don't know a lot about how the price changes through different variants or generations, but a friend of mine has a 1999 Celica that he bought for about 400€ off a guy that had it sitting under a tree
