One answer and he isn't even listed - Taimak Guarriello. That's right...Bruce Leroy. I mean, come on....he's got the glow, the glow, the glow.

The swingarm being dented as badly as it is would concern me big time. I'd want to look to see if any part of the frame is tweaked. With the shot the swingarm took, I'd want to inspect the subframe/tail section too. With both sides damaged, this isn't your normal low side crash.

I've been riding for about 17 years and have been doing track days with California Superbike School for about 10 years. I really don't advise you buying a bike like this not having any experience riding and especially since it's been crashed with significant damage.

We can take this to PM or create your own thread which you'll probably get input from other riders on here.
I'll second this. I'm on a hiatus from riding, my first bike was a 600RR. If you've never ridden before I would not advise buying a crashed bike like this sight unseen.

What is your budget for a motorcycle? feel free to PM if you like. I am from Florida, just moved to GA recently.

I’d pick 1, 8, and 12 as well.

1, well that goes without saying.

8 and 12 because they have a tremendous amount of experience in multiple martial arts, and started at a young age.

If there’s furniture involved, I think all I’d need is #9 though.

Hey, thanks for the input. You guys have scared me out of it.

I'd like to stay under $6k for my first bike as I'm not sure how much I'm going to actually ride it. It's going to be a weekend toy for some of the backroads around here in central Florida. I was thinking it would be a fun little project to keep me entertained as I've been stuck behind a computer screen for several months now.

I do know one guy who rides and he has recommend a CBR250 or something in its class for my first bike. Problem is, I really don't want something that 'weak.' I grew up riding ATV's and dirt bikes, so I do have experience handling power sports, but I also understand a street-bike and off-road toy are two different beasts.

I have also considered an enduro, I really like the KTM enduros, but a little out of my price range.

He found a sammich on the sidewalk. He'll be along at some point to sweat on you, but I don't know that I would wait; it may take him a while to get to you.

I'd also like to throw this fine contender into the ring. What ya'll know about Diamond Dave?

For 6K you can definitely get yourself a clean, used 600cc sport bike. If you have experience with ATVs and dirt bikes you'll be fine with a 600. I started on a 250 and they get really old, really quick. A motorcycle will only go as fast as you make it go. Wear your gear every time. Good luck!

Well, I just can't help noticing that Jason Statham (#6) is a true master of frowning. Only. It's amazing but sad how far it took him. Modern fighting movies are a complete crap, I can't watch them.

Masaaki Hatsumi. The things he did looked too amazing to be true. He never explained anything (in the videos I saw).
