Generally speaking, yes. Plus, you won't grow out of it for a long time.

Would probly need to know more about the individual but as said, in general, many has started on one and ended up riding it for years.

Welcome to the forum BTW, if you like you could put up a thread in the new member section to say hi and tell a little about yourself. Although not required, we`d prefer knowing where in this little globe you hail from as we are spread from Alaska to Australia via Africa and Asia so chances are another member lives just around your block.

Welcome to CBRF! I think a carb'd 600 I4 is a good starter bike. Take your time and be responsible about it - you'll do fine. Don't push yourself to go quicker than you're comfortable with.

the F4 is a great starter bike, its tamer than some of the newer sport bikes, many find it more comfortable, and you can still get yourself into plenty of trouble with it. Its geometry is very forgiving for a newer rider, and has enough pep to get going on the freeways. Welcome to the forum!

I started out in a 2000 car 60k ft and absolutely loved it. Would still be riding it if the damn thing didn't get stolen.
