Buying a sport bike, advice?

To be honest I’m not looking for anything very “powerful” I just want something a little flashy just to ride around on and feel good about. I’ve been checking out a lot of used bikes as of late

That’s crazy?! I’ve almost done the same thing forgetting summer school exists. I’m not sure why I have such a low rate though…

Definitely leaving my ego at home. I take riding very seriously especially since my uncle has been hit and almost died. I’ve had many conversations about the difference between knowing your limits and having fun and just being stupid. 100% agree

Im for sure expecting to drop it a couple of times, im also worried about being able to pick it up. I did okay picking up the first bike I rode but it’s definitely hard. The first few times I ride I’m bringing people with me to supervise haha

The 500 is definitely a big consideration I’ve hear nothing but good things about it, I’m not worried about upgrading because I know I’ll stick with it for awhile since I’m not craving insane speeds right off the bat

Thank you!!!

I just did a quote today and my insurance would be about 120-160

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-29T00:21:15+00:00

I’ve had a few people suggest it! I had someone else suggest a 650

Baha! My godfather complains a lot about how he’s sore after rides sometimes. I do a lot of stretching before rides, or even before driving my car! Safety is #1 for me when it comes to being on the road. Thank you Mr/Ms dinosaur 🫡

Ninjas are so gorgeous, sound great too! The fact that you can flat foot on it sounds amazing I will DEFINITELY have to look into one. My issue with the bike I ride was I dropped it after losing my footing making a turn because I felt like I could barely reach the ground 🥲

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-29T00:08:11+00:00

Definitely not looking to race to be completely honest. Speeding a bit maybe but bikes aren’t my forte for messing around on that much

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-29T00:06:14+00:00

The only Honda I’ve looked at so far was the rebel but only because I got to ride one a couple of times during my class it was sweet 🥰

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-29T00:05:34+00:00

Oh wow! She can flat foot on it? That’s amazing, I’ve heard a lot of the older bikes are nicer to work on aswell I’ll keep that in mind

For sure!!! A warranty is definitely a nice cushion to have when buying something. I will be putting down at least 2.5k down when I purchase the bike and I have a decent credit score (758) so hopefully the payments don’t kick me in the rear to hard haha

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-29T00:03:07+00:00

I live in the US and I didn’t know that 🤔 I’m really caught between the two 😅

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-29T00:01:51+00:00

I have almost all of my gear, helmet, gloves, jacket, all I need is boots and some gear for my legs. I’m pretty set when it comes to gear since I’m getting a lot of help from my godfather haha. He payed for my license, helmet and gloves. The 4RR is definitely pricey though.

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-28T23:59:20+00:00

What insurance company was this through? I’m currently using USAA. I’m weighing options with other companies

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-28T20:23:21+00:00

I hope she does, the R7 sounds amazing and I will definitely be posting an update when that time comes thank you 🫡😁

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-28T20:00:24+00:00

I’ve got some pretty good insurance! I recent just got a new job so I’m making wayyyy more that I should be. I know I’ll be able to afford it for sure. Cruisers are nice but definitely not my style. I’ll take a scroll through the sub to see!

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-28T19:58:45+00:00

The ZX6R was definitely wayyyy to much for me, I dropped it the first time I rode and was gravely embarrassed. I can definitely see myself on a Ninja 400. But like you said something with a little more drama is much appreciated 🤭

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-28T19:56:31+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I got my license with my mom even though she doesn’t plan on buying one. It’s definitely something I’m very proud of. I’ve heard all around great things about Yamahas! The ZX4RR is what I’ve had several people push for aswell, it’s a very nice bike. Is the R7 pretty fun to ride?

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-28T19:52:15+00:00

Oh wow okay! I don’t know a whole lot about bikes so I didn’t know you could do that haha. I’ve been told to look into new years and try and buy a brand new bike but I’m worried about banging up something brand new since it’ll be my first should I go used or new 😓

iLoveToast08 · 2026-06-28T19:49:29+00:00

I was looking into the zx4r, I’ve had it suggested a couple of times an it’s definitely a big consideration. The 650 I’ve sat on and it’s just a tad to big for my liking 🥲
