Default Newbie to riding from spokane

Hey guys and gals, i just got my first bike ever, a 2005 cbr600rr. Ive always loved bikes but ive never had the motivation to go get a license and all, but i got bored with my car and realized that bikes are much more exciting/dangerous than cars. i was going to get a ninja 250 but all my bike riding friends suggested i just get the bike i want because ill outgrow the 250 after i ride for a couple months. The cbr looked to be the best all around bike, not the best in power, weight handling, but the best average of everything so here i am. anyone in spokane, wa want to chat or show me some riding skills, message me and i would be more than happy to learn some new stuff

Well can't go wrong with a CBR - as you're new though make sure you take a MSF class. You'll learn a lot of solid fundamentals to set you up for safe riding.

Good luck! and post up some pics.

Hey there Silvia

The 600RR is a great choice in bike and plenty fast enough

for mere mortals....


Take care on her and read up on counter steering if you wish to improve
in the bends plus it can save your life when your consciously counter steer.
