RE: cbr600 for first bike?
It's not recommended, but you can still manage it fine, so if you do end up buying it.......
(if you buy it) TAKE THE MSF CLASS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE! That's it. Take the MSF.
DO NOT try to learn on your own.
DO NOT ride the bike before you take the class.
If you try to learn on your own, you can and most likely will develop bad habits. Yes, you may be able to ride it, but you might not be riding it correctly. You need to take classes to learn how to drive a car, even more so for a bike.
Then after the classes, take it easy until you get comfortable and practice. You should manage fine, just PLEASE take the class first.
As for the bike. As long as it's in good condition and you've had it checked out, it should be a good buy.

+1 on msf
i just took the msf course 2 monthes ago with no riding experience, definately taught me alot. Especially stuff like look where your turning and countersteering, also covering the clutch but not to cover the brake lever, which i KNOW i would definately do if i didnt take it starting out.

You could pick alot worse to learn on.
But if the bike's not a rat go for it. Not a bad beginner.

The Ninja will probably make a better trainer. Please remember that although that CBR is "outdated" it was quite advanced for it's time. But ultimately you have to buy what gets your heart. Many folks learned on CBRs and many learned on Ninjas. Take the class the remain humble, whatever your decision. May you remain in the sport for many years.
