I've been riding motorcycles my whole life. The best advice I can give, if you have never rode, is to start on a dirt bike.
If you have the basics down and are comfortable on a bike, a 600cc is a great sport bike. My wife had a cbr250, and the 250s are way too far down on power. You'll get bored fast, and I'm not completely convinced they give you the experience needed to hop on a 600cc sport bike--so you might as well start on the real thing.
I had a k7 gsxr 600. That bike was an absolute blast and had plenty of power. I can see the appeal for a 1k bike though...the 600 fell on its face fast when you got into triple digit speeds.
I’ve had two GSXR 600’s and the times I rode them were the greatest times in my life. The 600cc is plenty of power and you can ride wheelies for days on it.
The unfortunate thing about sport bikes is they make you do dumb shit. They are so agile and peppy that it’s addicting to play around with them. Ok, maybe these aren’t unfortunate things.
My best advice, take a rider safety course. I know it’s lame, but it by far made me a better rider and I don’t think I would have been able to ride without crashing if I didn’t take that course. And ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET NO MATTER WHAT
Well, I sold my 2011 848 Evo to a friend after putting a new tank on it that wasn't defective, new windscreen, and painting it gloss black like he wanted, but now he wants to give it back to me because his girl is bitching at him about it. I found out he was just going to flip it which pissed me off because he made it sound like he really wanted it so I helped him out. I'm going to buy it back and probably trade it in for a Triumph Bonneville Bobber when I find a good used one I want.
I liked it better in the Stealth Black but the gloss looks pretty good too. Im in love with the Bonneville Bobber though!That is one sexy ass bike!
That's a tough call, bobber is sexy too.
My baby. Just like everyone says, be smart. View attachment 1489015
