First Bike
I'm in the hunt for a first bike and i was wondering whether or not this would be a good starter bike...I've done a lot of research and have found that it is considered to be one of the best starting bikes (next to the 250) but i don't have enough money to buy a cheaper bike and upgrade after i outgrow that bike...i've set aside about $800 for gear and frame sliders...i plan on taking the msf course this december...and taking it extremely slow.....btw i'm 6'1' 160...with that said, would this be a good first bike for me?

the F4i is not a starter bike. it is a supersport bike that can run right along side the 600rr 0-60 and in the 1/4 mile. on the track the rider would make the difference between the F4i and the 600rr. thats how close the two bikes are. on the otherhand, if you have enough self control the F4i can be a first bike because of its composed chassis and smooth engine. just take the MSF, wear your gear, and give the bike the respect it deserves and you'll be allright. also, you won't outgrow it riding skills wise

I have an EXCELLENT bike for you that I am trying to sell. It's a 2005 Ninja 500 and it has plenty of power for a beginning rider. If you or anyone else knows of anyone interested let me know. I am in KY by the way.

also, the F4i or any 600 SS isn't even close to the 250 Ninja. About a 75% HP increase between the two.
