James
I currently ride a Rieju rs2 50cc, But when i turn 17 im looking into getting a bigger bike.
I know it has to be restricted to 33bhp but its a good bike for when I am old enough to remove it. Is the Ninja Zx6r a good beginner bike? Or a good bike for my next bike? Im stuck between a ninja 650r and a ZX6-R

If it is restricted, maybe, if not restricted, then it is good for an organ donor. You and 1.5 million other kids think they can handle a supersport right off, and you will get a bunch of squids on here telling you that you can do it because they have a similar bike and learned on it, all of less than 10,000 miles worth and are now experienced, great riders. Riiiiiight, more squids that think they can ride anything and live, makes me laugh. All these Ben Bostrom wannabes don't have enough miles experience to realize they haven't seen, and survived many things that happen and are on then road. Oh yeah, it is easy to go fast in a straight line with little or no traffic on a bright sunny day and then think you actually have great skills, any squid can do that. But when there is crud on the road all of a sudden, or a truck jerks out 10 feet in front of you, most of those squidly riders who can do 185 in a straight line then end up as a bumper accessory.
The bike you want is a supersport racing bike, make no mistake about it, you can get on and do close to what the AMA 600s are doing. Being young and full of life, sometimes you don't think things through and think you won't get hurt or killed. I used to think that too. The problem is you, and the other boy wonder jockeys on here don't have the experience, can and do at times panic when the crud hits the fan, and will sometimes grab throttle when you want to grab brake. Happens all the time, dead.
No, I don't ride like an old person, I have been riding over 26 years in LA traffic, mountains, desert, woods, I have 7 street bikes currently and I ride like a Hooligan most times. power wheelies, racing, doing triple digits regularly on the Freeways, and like it. But, I have been through the wrecks, I have the scars to prove it and each time I throw a leg over I know it can be the last time, but I am good, my skills have been honed over years of riding and I have no fear of death. I can say I am a MUCH better rider now than I was at age 24, and I see things differently, traffic patterns etc. and I don't panic when the crud hits the fan, I know what to do to get out of those situations. You and the other boy wonders don't, as such you don't need a machine that will get you into those situations and is not very forgiving of mistakes. The bike you want is a precise handling machine, it does not suffer fools, nor does it put up with mistakes, like a more stable with less power and more weight bike would.
Get a 250 or 400 and give yourself a chance to get experience before going to a beast, a full on race bike.
I learned on a 400, got into my worst wreck on a ZX900 Ninja with a stage 3 jet kit and Yoshi pipe due to lack of experience. And now have a fleet of bikes, some more powerful and faster than that ZX900 I had, and I ride hard. My smallest road bike is a highly modified 700, even my dirt bike is a 530cc.
I don't care if you take my advice or one of the inexperienced wonder boy's who posted on here already, I don't need any new friends nor any other riders out on the road, but what I wrote can save the life of a wise kid who wants to grow up to be an old experienced rider some day.

What should I get for a good starter dirt bike?
Jacob
This is gonna be my first dirt bike. I'm 14 and 5' 6" in a growth spurt. I've ridden four wheelers since I was little and I've decided to switch to dirtbikes. It's gonna mainly be used riding on trails, but the trails are wide and smooth and fast. I also might do some motocross racing but that's not gonna be the main purpose. So can someone help me here in deciding what I should do?
Answer
No offence but that Mxchick doesn't know what she's talking about, don't listen to her. You WILL want a Crf150r and if you can find a bigwheel version, go for it. It is perfect for your size and you can race multiple classes in Mx with it.
You will have lots of fun with it and not struggle to get on it like the 125 2 stroke MXCHICK recommended..Trust me, wait a year or two riding the Crf150r and then get a Crf250r. Skip the 125s, they are hard to ride on trails, they are tall and hard to get up on, and they lack power for the size of the bike, AND they will never keep up on an MX track with 4 strokes unless James Bubba Stewart is riding it..CRF150R is the way to go kid, Good Luck.
