I would take the poll if the poll had something that said 600, not above or below, just 600. I rode a little, here and there, over the years but was still a novice when I bought my first and current bike; an 02 CBR600F4i. Been riding for 5 years, starting the 6th, on this bike and while it indeed was to much at first, it made me ride sensibly and seriously, to learn the bike and the road.

 

Here's my first baby!!! Way more power than i needed, but she was a blast!!!

1984 V65 Sabre 1100cc. Honda's first 10-sec 1/4 mile bike! That thing would haul *** lol.

 

my first true love, my 1989 CBR 600F....now I've moved on to my 1996 CBR 600 f3(I show her a lot of love too but I donno if i'll ever beat that retro paintscheme...)

 

DF3 that bike is beautiful.^

I Had 4 dirt bikes between age 10 to about 17 or so.Fast forward 20 yrs to my first street bike Honda 599. I loved that bike. Now I have the f4i but I should have kept the 599 for the wife.

 

should have kept my 89 soooo mint in every single way...bought it for 2000 with only 18k miles on it from the ORIGINAL OWNER(all the paperwork, completley stock other than the most comfortable corbin seat Ive sat on, 2 helmets, rain suit, all sorts of ****). I donno what I was thinking, I was in San Diego for six months and I sold it before I left to go back to Boston so I didn't have deal with shipping her/worrying she'd get hurt in x-coutnry transit

 

Yep D3 shoulda kept her .....Im like a pak rat i cannot let anything go....

 

Ya hear guys talk about how they should of kept "that car" or "that bike" all the time. I always take those stories with a grain of salt. But in your case I must agree with you. Oh well thats life. Hind sight is 20 20 and all that.
