Are the Honda CBR500R and CB500F good beginner bikes?
I weigh below 120lbs and most people tell me to start out on the Honda 300. But I'm afraid I'll grow out of it within three to six months. Maybe less than three. I've heard the Honda 500 still rides easy for beginners. It can also get up to highway speeds, 60-75mph without revving up to the red line. I feel if I get a 250cc or 300cc, I'll ruin the engine by traveling at high speeds. I live in a neighborhood just off a highway. What do you think? I think I could own the Honda 500 for up to a year, maybe 9 or 10 months and then trade it in for the Honda CBR600RR or the Honda Interceptor. If I start out on a bike that's powerful but still very manageable and controllable for a beginner, I could progress to a high cc bike very fast. In the end I will definitely want the Honda CBR1000RR and a Harley cruiser. P.S. I took a look at Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki bikes, I liked Honda the most for every bike they had. From the 250cc's to the 1000 cc's. I like Honda motorcycles.
