Default Gixxer rider converted.

So i've owned two GSXR 750's and I wrecked my beautiful '07 back in Jan. and I'm wanting to switch to a CBR 600. But since I'm new to the CBR bikes I'm not sure what years to stay away from. I found a nice '03 near me that has 12,000 miles on it. I know that's alot of miles for a bike but I heard the CBR's are bullet proof.

Meh, 12k for an 03 is pretty damn good- that's only 2k/year. Like JP said, wrecking is what really does your bike in Welcome!!

The only problem is how those miles were put on. I don't know if it was raced or not. Thanks for the comments tho.

Hi and welcome
There really aren't any years of CBRs that you would have to "stay away" from, just which one fits in your budget. Sounds like you are looking for a 600RR, not an F4i. In that case try '05 or newer. Has inverted forks up front as opposed to the conventionals of '03-'04 years. I think it has upgraded fuelinjection too but you might want to ask in the 600RR forum for more info.
Hope this helps and welcome again!
