Hello all,

Just purchased my first bike yesterday... 06 cbr 600rr. I'm loving it already. Been wanting a bike for a few years, finally convinced the wife to let me get one lol. Looking forward to getting some good advice!!!

 

Congrats on your new bike! It looks great.

Best advice I can give you is to take the MSF course to get you started. Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Then, build upon what you've learned to become a safe & responsible rider. Take the advanced courses as well when its time. Don't force yourself out of your comfort zone while you're learning - *Ride Your Own Ride*. Read everything you can find on riding technique...to that, you don't have to buy it all - you can spend a few afternoons in B&N or other bookstores & online. ;-)

The more you ride, the more comfortable & confident you'll become.

Welcome to the forum. Good to have you w/ us.

 

Welcome!

That a lot of first bike, but a nice one. Respect the machine and ride safe.

 

Yea. I'm in the Air Force. I took the MSF course right before I enlisted, but they are making me take it again. It's cool though since I don't have to pay for it lol.
Thanks for all the replies.

 

Welcome to Cbrf,

The 600rr is a very nice bike, I'm sure you are gonna be very happy with it for a long time.

Taking the MSF course twice kinda stinks, but hey atleast it is free and you get to learn from two different instructors.

 

Bike looks sweet, what area in vegas? I'm on the west side of vegas... Alta & buffalo area.
