Man i want to get to that level
Practice, practice practice man. Not sure if you do any track days, but it honestly is one of the best things a sport bike rider can do to enhance your riding. That and attend some schools. I'm a fan of Yamaha champions rider school. Huge eye opener for me.

Is there any kind of fertilizer I can get to sprinkle on my crotch to get balls big enough to finally buy a motorcycle?
Just do it man. Start riding at your pace, going with what you feel is comfortable. Honestly you will not regret it... especially if your looking at them right now.

Do a few track days and you will have no desire to ride fast on the street. In fact you the track almost ruins street riding.

Got my bike back today, haven't ridden in probably a year or more, forgot how deceiving speed is on bikes. Blasted down the onramp to get a feel for it again and looked down after getting through traffic to my desired lane and was doing 110mph. Felt good though. I felt a little too comfortable for not riding as long as I have.

Know what that’s like had to have the transmission on my new R1 replaced last year, gotta tear the whole bike apart, luckily i have a great dealer

Yikes. I don’t think my recall is that aggressive of a repair. Supposedly there is a part that needs replaced because at high speeds the trans can seize up and cause death. So yeah, I guess I should get that fixed. So annoying to get a brand new bike then within several months that recall notice shows up.

I've had so many, but my current lineup includes my track bike (2007 GSXR 600) and a Nightster for putting around town (also a few dirt bikes but those don't fit in here).

600SS bikes are awful for learning on, plain and simple.

Start on a 650 of some sort, pick your poison. The SV650 has a larger following and is enjoyed by beginners up through expert racers. That said, the Ninja 650s are also a great choice (Honda has one now also but can't think of the name, maybe CB650F). Point being, supersports are made for one thing, and learning how to ride on one is counter intuitive. Those who learn on smaller bikes typically become better riders in the long run.

You'll hear countless anecdotal shit from people who say they started on 1000s and they're fine, but it's just that, anecdotal.

dirt is 100% DIFFERENT than street. I've been riding dirt since 12 years old, street since 20 years old. Today's 600RR bikes are FREAKS. They are wicked fast and can even push the experienced rider. If you haven't been street riding for at least 6 mo to a year, I would NOT get a 600. I would buy a cruiser V twin and start on that. Get used to the street and the cars. After that hop on a 600.
