Hello & Welcome


In March? Why? It will ride very different, I started out on a Ninja 250 - loved it, but now my best friend loves it and I love the F4i. Simple as that, but it's different....don't gun it too soon, until your used to it. Good Luck!

I think everyone was wondering why the long delay in getting the bike. The CR250 is a dirt bike right? If so definatly sign up for and take a MSF class before you get the bike. A 600RR isn't a great beginner bike.

Welcome to the forum. I own an '05 600RR and could'nt be any happier. I'm just going throught the break in period. 175 miles on the odo. Although the 600RR is a GREAT bike, and it's balance super welll, I wouldnt recommend it as your first jump from a 250cc. THERE IS A LOT OF A DIFFERENCE in handling, and speed.
I would say the transition will feel like moving up from an SUV to a F1 race car. Just a word of advice; RESPECT IT, and you'll be amazed on how great of a bike it is.
p.s TAKE THE Motorcycle safety class.
