Default CBR600 F4I Beginner bike

Yes I know there are a lot of info on the forums about this now. I just need help in my case. Im looking at a 01 cbr F4i as my first bike just turned 22 and looking for a good starter bike. Not rolling in money so don't want to buy a low cc beginner bike and end up wanting to upgrade. No experience on 2 wheels other than when I ride my friends dirt bike occasionally (More of an ATV guy). Should I be freaked out about this bike was originally looking at ninja 500r and this is much faster and got a crazy deal on it. Should I go and buy a 600cc beginner bike or should i go with the more chill route.

You don't have to turn the throttle all the way - it's not a rule.

CBR600 is very civilized, that's why it's one of the most popular bikes of the last 30 years. Go for it - just don't be tempted to do anything stoopid. You'll die.

You should strongly consider the skills training course - Riding a bike is easy, riding it around car drivers is much much harder.

My 2001 was my first bike. I do not regret it.
At 100hp it's not so overwhelming that you should be scared of it but definately respect it.

Everything you needed to know about the CBR600F... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR600F

both will go faster than you're allowed to go.

Basically the “i” means the newer models are fuel injected. Few other small changes but thats the big one
