Name: Miguel
Location: Maryland
Age: 28

Soon to be first time rider and have decided to start on a 600. Have used the past year to take the basic, intermediate, and advanced MSF courses to fully prepare myself mentally in order to be as safe as possible. I've ridden my friend's Ducati and a few gsxr 750s with ease but in the end it is just way too much power between my legs so I think a 600 will do everything I need/want out of a bike.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.

New recruits start by shining up brake rotors.... You better get started!
Good luck finding your 600rr.

Welcome to the CBR Forum Miguel,

600 is a good choice for starting. Just remember all you learned on the courses and you'll be find. Remember to keep all your eyes open, especially the ones in the back of your head. A mate of mine who died recently (illness) back in the early '80s told me "always think 'what if?' as you're riding" - What if that cars pulls out? What if the corner's tighter than I think, etc. Kept me alive for the last 37 years on bikes!

Cheers, SB

2006 F4i was my first "big boys bike" haha ... I loved it. I feel like it was a perfect start into sports bike. Especially coming up from my DRZ400. Welcome and good luck in your search!

welcome to CBRF! a 600 is a great choice. it'll keep you entertained but won't try to kill you as easily as a 750 or 1000. keep 'er up right and have fun

thanks bro. there are some great local deals in the 65-7800 range on 2007-2012 600rrs. seems to be the happy medium for used bikes in my area all ranging from 1200-7000 miles on the odo.
