I really like the cbr but its a bit pricey..

Currently the Honda GLH125 E-Storm looks like my best option so far....

Ah man my dad doesn't wanna know anything about me getting a bike he says its do dangerouse..

I tried to get some statistics but those I could get my hands on is not in favor om me getting a bike...

What are all your experiances with bikes? Do you think its too dangerouse for a teen? Are my chances of getting a bike screwed?

If you guys have some statistics that would be apreciated.

I've had my 125 almost a year, and not a single accident or anything, I had a few scares, but nothing major that I couldn't control (People reversing into the road out of driveways, ect)

Just try to convince your dad some how, I knew I had to beg my bottom off to get mine.

Unfortunately, you aren't going to find stats that say bikes are less dangerous than cars. It's not the bike drivers, it's the other drivers on the road. It also depends what area you're in, if you're in a small town it shouldn't be that dangerous so maybe you could work on it from that angle?

Okay i live in Middelburg its a small town.

I tried that already and he said no.

This one guy that works with my dad rides a CBR800 and my dad asked him if he had a son (he has 2 daughters) if he would give his son a bike and he said no...

I cant really understand that but anyways.

So ill only be using it in town to take me where i need to be.

So there are a better change of getting a seriously injury on a bike than in a car but if its your time its your time.

Or ill just save up and buy my own one (Just wish my shares was doing better)
