The dos and don'ts of lowering your bike to fit you.

I found some helpful links on Sport Riders web site and thought I'd like to them to answer some of the questions that get asked often

What's wrong w/ getting a 600RR as a starter? I did that in 03 and no problems here.
Still happy w/ it, and didn't go down b/c of too much power...
I want the new 600RR now

Totally agree! I started out with an R1, simply because i really fell in love with that bike! It was in 1998, so the bike was really advanced compared to the others...

i started with a 900 rr and i loved it heavy and powerful - you just have to respect whats under you and ride to your limits <--always pushing that is!
