Default i want to pick up a 600rr and need some advice

hi this is my first post on the board my name is steve. i currently have a HD sporty for my first bike and i would like to get a cbr500rr at the earliest next summer. but i wanted to know im 20 yo right now and i wanted to know how old are the guys on the board? my dad had a vfr1000 interceptor back in the day when he was 28 and i just wanted to see the age group of the riders are.

also how is insurance for a cbr600rr

Hi Steve -- welcome to the board! I'm an old fock -- just turned 39 and ride a 1000RR. Insurance for you is gonna be sticker shock no matter what sportbike you get. The numbers just aren't on a 20yo's side. If you have the $$ buy it outright and just get liability and theft -- it'll save you big bucks.

Im 23 and have had a 63 year old man blister my butt on the track. At least until he got tired and I could pass him back. There are riders from all ages here.

At 63... he wasn't tired, either his geritol wore off or he needed a nap.

I will be 37 in December. To give you an even better idea of ages, I am in the middle of working on a 91 Katana I bought for $400 so my 36 year young wife can learn to ride it on the street before I give her the 05 600RR full time.

welcome steve, im 19 and your inscurance will probably suck. i have seen insurance rate on this sit alone, anywhere from like 40bucks a month for what they say is full coverage, on up to my 170 a month so there is a lot of factors involved that will give you a different out come. good luck with getting a cbr
