this is 110% true I bought my first bike and had never even riden a dirtbike... SO what did i do i bought a brand new NInja 250 Figured out how to ride it around comfortably within a few hours of steady pracitce. Had the bike a total of 32 days and sold it! Ended up buyin a used moded ninja 600 much better

and if you go to the GSXR forums, the track guys prefer the 04-05 GSXR600models over the 06+ models

so I'm happy bout that......

600rr's are fine, nice bikes... F4i's are for pussies/starters. Everybody knows it, you just need to get out of denial because you own one.

Anyway, the new GSX-R's are beautiful bikes. If you're going new... I know the Suzuki guys like the old ugly cyclopse gixxer's, but everybody else thinks they're ugly.



HEY WAIT, OP, my 2003 R6 is for sale, only $4000! Perfect starter bike! PM me for pics & info!

Well shoot, if we are going for features; thousands in mods including Micron high-mount exhaust, k&n intake, piggyback w/ dyno tune, etc. Also just over 3000 miles, properly maintained, brand new tires, just got fully serviced, clean title... AND only asking $4k.

Can't beat that!...

the worst thing you can do is get a lower cc bike and then get bored with it, then have to sell it and loose money.. i made the mistake of buying a "starter bike" big mistake within a week i lost intrest and left in my garage and bought an o4 cbr very nice bike i highly recomend

my 1st bike was a 02 r6, i went down on it once...sucked pretty bad. Deffiently like these guys said respect the bike and fear it and a 600 will be no problem, also invest in some good gear, well worth the money IMO
