and what you want it for none of them are the best. do you even know what a slipper clutch is? do you realize that the R6 doesn't have a slipper clutch either? it's a slipper LIKE clutch... not the same. go find a F2 or SV650 or some other standard sport bike before you look at the triple digit HP bikes. otherwise you are bound to make poor riding habits, and i'm sure we wont hear from you soon there after. take our advice. your friend made a poor decision.

take the suit off!! haha..im not here to argue about what is good for a first and whatnot. I'm here to debate the 600rr against others
ORIGINAL: abadfish
And they are right to do such. A 600 sportbike (regardless of year or brand) is not a beginner's bike. Though few here on this board will actually admit that. Excuse while I now put on my flame retardant suit.

What?????? He said that a 600 is NOT the best bike for a no0b, that would be you...not your friends.

when you said, "newb here looking for my first bike. a good friend just bought one and now its on to find one!" i took that to mean your good friend just bought his first bike, and now you feel you have to copy him. if this is not the case, and your good friend has been riding for years and bought a new to him motorcycle, then you need to work on your writing skills.
If however your good friend did in fact buy a 2003 CBR600RR for his very first bike, i stand by my words 110%. Here's my extra 10%...
A god damn fool buys a modern 600 class Supersport motorcycle for his very first bike. THERE IS A REASON YOU HEAR IT SO OFTEN and the ONLY people who have gotten through such a **** poor purchase choice tell you that they have, and they are god damn proud of it too. and they should be. they beat the odds instead of the odds beating them, which can, and so often does take their life or forever maim them and relegate them to a motorized wheelchair for the rest of their life. MOST WHO FAIL EITHER CANNOT TELL YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE DEAD or BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT IT WAS A POOR CHOICE AFTER SAYING THEY COULD HANDLE IT. These are the fools you see on Youtube.com crashing the bike into a tree or a parked car because they had no idea what to do, or new owners that just bought a $16,000 Ducati and didn't get 30 ft without crashing. you hear the stories second hand because no one who has boasted that they can handle it and have failed will man up to it (Pardon ladies, it's just a term). you hear it from their friends or family members as an, "I TOLD YOU SO!!!". you want to know what poor riding habits you can adapt SO quickly can be? I'll give a real good one. happens almost within the first 30 seconds of "Flight". Holding on tightly often accompanied with a wrist up. if your good friend is truly a new rider, check his wrist position. it should (better be) level.

That's what I meant, I think RR when I see people wanting to *learn* on a 600, especially here.

actaully to be more specific, a modern 600cc+ class supersport.

friend with 04 gsxr600 bought in 04 for his first...still has it
friend with 06 R6 bought a month ago for his first..loves it
only the friend with the gsx has ridden a dirt bike when he was a kid and all three of them say I will be fine. I guess all 4 of us are fools....
