RE: Lookin at the RR for my first
Wow! I never read that much in my 5yrs of college, but am glad I have. I guess you could call me a semi-idiot. I just bought a 07 600RR as my first sport bike, but I have been racing around on 250cc and 450cc dirt bikes for a while, so I'm not new to two wheels. I will say this though, if you have never been on a bike and are looking at getting a 600cc for your first, you better have some good health insurance.
Thanks for all the great posts. I'm definitely going to check out the books.

You want the sportbike look without the skill to ride it check out these bikes. No they are no honda or yamaha but they make a modern "looking" 250cc bike that should be great for you to learn on but still have that 2007 sportbike look so you seem "cool" to all your friends.

Scroll down to the gt250r. It's cheap and it'll be new so you wont have to worry about any problem the former owner didnt tell you and they look modern.

RE: Lookin at the RR for my first
in my own opinion for my first bike ever I bought a 600f4i. Never rode before in my life. Only rode dirt bike quads and stuff like that but never owed any of my own so nerve rode that much. I was fine on the f4i had no problem rode it for two years and I loved the thing. Not only that but I learned very quickly on it. I was burnin in no time. and for you that know the area around me if rode rt301 your lucky you made down the damm rode cuase alot of people dont. So ne ways I just bought a 06 600rr and I love that thing a little different from my f4i but still love it. In my own opinion a bike will only go as fast as you want it too. The only thing is you get those idoits that get on there first bike and think they know how ride those are the ones that crash. It take time to learn how to ride and the more you ride the better you'll get
