Grab the F4 then. That is a much better deal.

 

DONT GET A NINJA 500
that was my first bike and it was DOG
start out with a 600f4i or a gixer
my ninja got so boring i put muzzy pipe, jetted carb and air filter and was still...boring

 

I ran a 88 Honda VTR 250 for my first bike. It couldn't get out of it's own wat but I also didn't learn any bad habbits!




But a 600 is plenty fast but you won't kill yourself as quick! Then if you decide to become more serious then you can move up. I went to a GSXR750 and it was quick but I had to many problems with it so now I have my 929 sitting nex to it!
