06+ 600 @ 20, I'd be dead. No exaggeration.
Get a Cobra. Take an MSF course and look into a 600 in a few years. Don't get a 250, it's a waste of time. No getting around it, those things suck. Good luck.

I realize I'm probably being a hypocrite since I started one of these threads myself some time ago and proceeded to ignore all the advice for awhile, but wut? :dw: Taking an MSF course only to do nothing with it for "a few years" just to hop on a 600 because 250s are turds just doesn't make sense.
When it comes to bike threads (here or elsewhere), y'all need to keep in mind that we're all adults but we're going to do what we want because it's our lives and our money. So instead of trashing someone or keeping them from doing something altogether, help them make the best of their ill-informed decision. Recommend the appropriate gear, classes, videos, etc.
The **** is the point of taking a course 'to get into it in a few years'
I'm gonna go ahead and get my real estate license, but I don't want to do real estate until I'm 50.
:lol:
Wut
Settle down there young blood. Don't make me come down to GA and pull the paint off the front bumper of that '15 :rolling:
You should get your real estate license, it would be a worthwhile investment. Regardless of when you use it.
I took an MSF course at 20, didn't purchase a bike til 24 and I'm glad I waited. But what do i know, 20 somethings like yourself are infallible with all of your real world experience and relentless intellectual pursuits.
Woah woah leave the 15 out of it sir
Im 23, have an almost new modified liter bike, and have never taken the MSF course. :shrug:
That being said I don't ride like a squid, and hardly ever ride in groups. Common sense goes a long way with self preservation.
And I now realize real estate is the WORST example I could have used....for the reason you mentioned. Touché sir :beer:

I don't think so. I have just as much fun riding by myself as I do with other people. Sometimes MORE fun because you don't have to worry about someone else.
When it comes down to cars vs motorcycles. I choose motorcycles.
Cold hard truth in a lot of cases
and most people who start on a smaller bike and move up to larger (600+) always progress riding skills faster, better, and safer. You can have plenty of fun on these entry level bikes. Unfortunately most people only want super sports o they can do high speed runs and look cool in a tank top and sandals.
But it seems you went the Cobra route which I think i the best choice given your current situation. Plus I bet you will get a bigger smile from a eaton screaming with the window down then a high speed run filled with wind noise and everything else that comes with riding a bike.
Some of the most fun I've ever had was on a 250. Granted, I started on a 600, went through several of them before upgrading to my last, a Hayabusa, and only occasionally rode a friend's 250. But man to throw it in a corner like it wasn't even there. :rockon:
I have had my 350z for about 4 years now and im ready for something different, like I said earlier a cobra has been my dream car for some time now, I like everything about it. I have about every bolt on you could think of but the motor doesnt like making power, kind of sucks. If i was going to get a turbo kit I would have to get the greddy tt kit and that would cost me about 10k so I think the cobra is the better option.
Just put a vortech v2 on your Z and make 375whp and drag 90% of cars you encounter
$10K for a turbo kit on your existing car or $18K+ for an older car that you'll have to start from scratch making it your own? :shrug:
Cobra > 350z
That being said there would be ZERO point in doing a Greddy kit without building the motor. Spending 15k (cost of build - install, fuel, clutch, exhaust, tune) to run on 8 psi wouldn't be very fun. Buddies popped motors at 450whp.

I would think twice if I had the HR motor but I have the DE and its not the best for power... to my knowledge if you put about a grand into the cobra you will be looking at about 450 to the wheels, you cant beat that and that's if you find one stock... most are modded.
I would go for the Cobra if it has been a dream car of yours for so long.
Get both lol! As mentioned bikes are cheap so have fun with both. People always freak out when someone wants a bike, look a 600 (hell even a 300) can kill you, so get whatever makes you happy. I'm a liter bike guy myself, but to each their own.
Had it for about a month now, it is my first street legal motorcycle so I have a lot to learn but so far I’m having a blast. Its super fast, can’t believe people start off on liter bikes I am completely content with a 600 and plan to be for a while. Of course I can’t leave it stock so I plan on doing a exhaust shortly.
