Not necessarily. It's mostly all the fairings. most sportbikes have very expensive fairings that make the bike more aerodynamic. They are easily scratched/broken if you drop the bike. Naked bikes often have some aero, but not full fairings the way most sportbikes do.

Also, for a beginner, I would stay away from 4 cylinder high revving bikes and go for torquey twins, or if you dare, triples. Wider power-band of a twin is much more forgiving on immature clutch work. One of my gfs is a new rider, her first bike is going to be a Triumph STREET Triple, the 675 engine(versus the 1050 of a Speed triple). My main gf has a Ducati Monster 796, which at her weight of roughly 110 lb, is quite insane.

Track days with your lady, highly recommended!

good shit.....

I bought that 06 2 years ago cash for 8k I believe. Only had 500 miles on it. Poor guy.

Beginner bike recommendations are pointless, nobody ever listens. IF you are into sport bikes, start with a sporty, small engined, naked bike like an SV-650 or ducati monster. I can't really give recommendations on cruiser style bikes, I haven't ridden too many.

Best gear, for a beginner I would recommend splurging and getting a cheaper full leather track suit or an Aerostitch suit, then as you gain confidence, replace them with street specific gear like Icon, etc. Then you can use your leathers for the track(or when you feel like misbehaving).

Ride in what you plan to crash in

Another fun pic. my boat, my truck, and I borrowed my friends gsx-r600 for my trip to Havasu last week. AZ has no helmet law, but I decided to behave.

In DR, there is no traffic/vehicle laws like in the US. No helmets are worn, you learn to ride a motorcycle from birth. You can take your newborn home holding them while you ride the bike.
I have my license and that was good enough for me to ride. I love 'em.

ATV's and motorcycles>>>>>> Cars.

Im thinking bout taking the beginner class to learn how to ride then cop a bike later on this year

any pointers or whatever?

Going off the bold, I would say take a rider course that also includes license and provides a bike for you. For instance, here in MD, P.G. County there are schools that:

- provide a low cc bike to ride

- give you classes

- you earn your state license on site

- MSF Basic Rider Qual'd

That was for around $300 in 2008.
