Welcome to the forum, Nomo.
Does "new to sport bikes" mean "new to bikes" in general? If so, I'd steer clear of the 954rr for sure. An older 600 I could see as an ok first bike but I'd start with an F1/F2 or something. It'll be cheaper to buy and cheaper to drop (if that were to happen). Just a thought.

Hi & welcome to CBRF!
You would probably be better starting on a 600RR than a 954....just abit tamer in the power delivery dept so it would be easier to start on.
Good luck and enjoy the forum

That's what I was wondering.

Thanks for the welcome fellas. I know I should have listened to you, but I got a good deal on a 929 with a 954 engine. Its been good so far. I'm not as new to bikes as I am to sportbikes. I've only been riding sportbikes since my brother bought a ninja 650 this summer.
