Ummm for a first bike, I wouldnt get a litre bike.... thats my suggestion. PLus insurace is cheaper if you are under 750cc.

I heard CBRs are slow... my buddy has a yamaha gxsr or gxr and i never hear him complain about it..

cbrs have been knowen as the best all around bike for
years...the gsxr is a bit quicker but i hear its handling sufers a little bit in comparision... i had a cbr 600 nice bike , yeah they are quick
but how fast does a guy really need to go to be a donor...

My friend is selling his bike it ran a 11.42 at SCC


1998 Honda CBR 600 Smokin' Joes Edition comes with a tank bra, Vance & Hines slip on pipe (sounds wicked), all Motul lubricants, Stored in a heated garage, only 7600Kms, in excellent condition $7300.00 o.b.o

If you have any questions I will get answers ASAP or PM for his cell number

Steve, I would deffinatly suggest looking into bike safety gear, riding classes, and anything else that will help teach you how to ride safely. Don't spare any expense on maintaining a bike, remembering it's only you and two wheels to the ground and that safety gear may come in handy on top of a good riding class... road rash can be a real shitty deal. It may sound dumb or gay or whatever but think safety first. :mellow:

heh.. saying a bike is "slow" is stupid.... Still MUCH MUCH faster than a non-heavily moded car :)

Ive had 2 friends own CBR600's, i dont think you'll be dissapointed

welli want to get one right away but have realized that with my record inshurance will kill m so i am prolly goin ot wait untill my record is clear witch means driving liek a granny to avoid tickets and bikes are so much cheaper and cost effective for me inshuranceis like $80.00 a month versus 289.00 or my car and they take like no gas so saves me a shit load of money
