I want to get a motorcycle for price range of 3 - 6k

No, you do not want an SV650! It's slow as hell, and V-twin engines sound seriously lame - like a damn tug boat. You really want an inline-four.

This is actually yours truly, on my first bike. It's a -94 CBR600, 100 bhp. Dirt cheap, great reliability, and at that time it felt like unbelievable performance...like 10 seconds 0-120 mph.

Did you get a scooter yet Visage?

[Barkingturtle]

Didn't read the thread but have you considered like a Vespa or something?

They make some really fancy ones.

Lol, you dont have to wear a fucking skid suit to go through town. Some of you are just fucking clowns. I'm not saying be like my friend, and do standups in flip flops, but having on a full skid suit, and racing boots when going to the store is going to make you look like 1 thing: a fucking clown.

1 thing nobody has mentioned, and prolly cause they either dont know or havent thought of it, is a riding bell. There are some rules to it tho, you cant buy it, and you cant ask for it. You have to be given one by another rider etc.

Btw, naked (and I mean fully fucking stripped of all electronics and plastics) 07 GSX-750R is about as sexy as they come.

Oh, and dont buy a vtwin... if your gonna get a vtwin, just get a damn sportster.

Oh shit, and I forgot, another thing only 1 person has mentioned: take riding classes. Most riding classes are really shitty, but there are some fantastic riding schools out there.

The most important thing you will learn there, is how to crash or lay down your bike. I've low sided mine 3 times, and I cant say I would be better off not having had those riding classes. Took them 3 years before I ever really rode a bike (was in highschool, dad wouldnt let me ride his w/o going to a 3 day course etc, and he had not ridden in 20years, so he wanted to go. It was a pretty good time.).

Another saying: If you ride long enough, your going to crash. And its true, I have low sided twice, and been in 2 wrecks.

Rock those flip flops imo*

And Vespa's are legit, you can wheelie those things.

I don't know about other states, but a motorcycle class is required to obtain a motorcycle license, which you need to ride anything above 49ccs in New Mexico.
