I created this account to ask you a few questions, I rode a scooter Tomos when i was 8yo all the way to 11, then at 16 i rode a 50ccm scooter for a season or two, Now I'm currently battled between 2008 Yamaha R6 or 2018 Yamaha MT 07 ABS. People were suggesting that I should start on smaller ccm bike to learn the basics. I've done motorcycle course and had a NK400 for a day with no troble with heavyer bikes. There were a few other choises like Honda CBR 500R, Yamaha R3, Ninja 400. All of them fell short for some reason, for R3 I'm 6 foot 2 and about 210lbs with normal clothes, Honda doesnt have aftermarket parts and revs to only 10k and reading the forums people were saying it was just so boring compared to all others, Ninja 400 could not be imported beacuse of EURO 5 standards.
MY WISH was supersport bike to learn how to ride that type of bikes, my question was.
1. Are naked and SS somewhat similar to riding style, and will there be big transition between the two.
2. Will I learn on MT 07 like I would on some smaller bikes like people are suggesting.
3. If you could choose what would you have chosen.
4. Is R6 really that bad for a novice rider
5. R6 is cheaper than MT for about 500 or 1k.
6. I want to tour and will probably be doing some highway riding is MT suited for that.
7. I want to learn cornering, taking racing lines, some track days, my goal is to become the best rider I could be.
Sorry for my English, it's my third language.
