Oh and you will be able to sell that 250 for as much as you paid for it when you're tired of it so don't worry. They hold their value very well. Don't betray us and go to the Kawi forums CBRforum rules all

 

LoL, CBR forums Is where It's at! I have gotten the best advice from these forums about getting a motorcycle.

 

I personally think the 600 RR is a bad choice for a first bike... one slip on the throttle and your into a tree or something... start on a 2000-2001 F4i, it is still a 600 but not as unforgiving as the 600 RR, you'll be able to make mistakes on it and get away with it, and if you need to repair it because of a drop, they are much cheaper to fix up and parts are abundant... plus they are much easier to work on so you can learn that aspect of riding also... then graduate up to the 600 RR aftera season on the F4i... you'll be better off for it.

The difference between my 2004 600 RR and my old F4i is amazing, the 600 RR is a SICK machine, but to really enjoy it you should learn on a "lesser" (for lack of a better word) machine and it's well worth the wait, especially when your life is at risk.

I don't think a 250 is necessary for a guy to learn on, they are for women to learn.
