    help needed in choosing a sbk.

    well guys.. i have been planning a SBK for a while now.. have been talking to people both xbhpians and other friends regarding my purchase.. a couple of days back i was talking to a friend of mine who is been into superbiking for a while now, i told him bout my plans to acquire a 600cc bike. i have been riding a zma for bout 5 years.. he suggested before i take a leap to a 600cc or a litre class i should first opt for a 400cc.. use it for a while, get the feel of a big bike and then proceed there on.. he suggested he could get me a good cb400 super four..
    i needed your help guys should i go 4 the super four, use it for a couple of months and then move on to a 600 or a litre class?
    i have ridden a few sbks.. have ridden a friends 1000rr quite a few times and bout a distance of 20-30 kms at a strech..
    i need your help guys to help me decide on sumthing.. it has got me quite confused and moreover made me a bit more scared.

    Topic Approved.

    It is utter nonsense to get a 400cc first, then a 600cc, then a 1000cc. Just get hold of a 1000cc if that's what you want. If you are responsible AND ofcourse mature enough to understand the immense power that you would be getting with a big bike, you would be really 'at home' even on a 1400cc machine!

    On the other hand, if you have the habit to just twist that right wrist without any bother, then even a puny 100cc bike WILL kill you! Period.

      The main skill you need to have is throttle modulation. You cannot wring it at your whim and fancy as you can on say a Splendor !! (But as Aryan pointed out, even that can be lethal, if done without any descretion!!)

      But as you said u have already ridden SBKs, and tat too for 20-30 kms !! You'll do jut fine on a new SBK man. Just go ahead and get it !!

      Hyosung Aquila : Because sometimes you need to look cool while riding at 40 kmph and you can do that only on a cruiser !!!

          Add Akhil to the list too!!! So if u wish go ahead and get a 600 or a 1000. Cos once u get a 600 and ur aim is a 1000 u will never be satisfied and will outgrow the 600 in a few months! Why waste the time and money then? Get what u wish and enjoy it.

            Get what you need,but be responsible

            You do not need to be a superman to ride a 1000CC
