You will be killing yourself just as quickly and easily on a Ninja 250R.

What you should do is figure out where and how you will be riding and get a motorcycle suitable for that riding. From your choices I would assume you intend to ride as fast as possible on twisty roads with no regard to your safety or the safety of others -- in which case the four cylinder liter bike is just fine.

this is a common concern 1st it don't matter the cc of the bike your what matters you have to realize any bike can mess you up in a heartbeat.you need to truly respect your bike and know it could kill you.there's only 2 types of riders those who fell and those waiting to fall.its all about self control and awareness of your surroundings. get the bike you want youll only respect it more and dont be a dumb a-- when your riding you need to know your limits only ride within your comfort level.dont play keep up.

Great bike but I suggest something smaller for a first bike. The 750 has over 100 HP, I think 108, so its not much less than the 1000cc and is a bit lighter. Get a 250 to 400cc super motard. Very similar riding position (the 750 has you leaning forward a bit more). You will find the lighter less powerful bike just as much fun, but it will be easy to handle and learn on before moving up. The 750 might be a good second bike, before the 1000. You may find the 750 is enough and lots of magazines liked the 750 more.

i wanted to buy a 1000cc as a first bike, but everybody told me that i'm gonna KILL MY SELF, so i think i'm gonna get a Z750 and ride it for about 1 year and then i'm gonna get a 1000.
is it a good idea or i have to go to lower cc's???
thanks guyys!!
