I'm a 17 year old guy. Before you all go saying how I wont be mature enough or strong enough or don't have enough experience with bikes, first of all my maturity level is higher than most in my high school. I am 6 foot tall, 200lbs (linebacker lol) so I'm not some scrawny little kid. Also, from the time that I was about 8 years old till about 11 or 12 i think, i used to ride dirtbikes. I started off with a 50, moved up to 80's, then a 125, then when i was around 12 or so every once in a while my dad would let me ride his 600 really carefully around a dirt track. I did stall it, multiple times and i layed it down a few times too, but i was like 12. I havent been around bikes much since then, but think if i were to buy a 600 and just took it really really easy for the first couple weeks till i got comfortable with the bike turning and everything else (not to mention the power), would that be okay? Most people I've talked to feel as if that should be fine, but I just kinda want some people that don't know me to give me some input as well.

Thanks for your time,
Cameron

a 600 cc motorcycle of today is like a 1000cc bike of 20years ago. You will be fine as long as you temper your urges to seek the "E" ticket experience. I'm 54 and own a 650 GSX-F Suzuki and always have plenty of power and comfort. My Friends thought I would be satisfied based on ol-school thinking, but trust me the 600 sport bike market is filled with tons of choices faster than my 650.
Good Luck.

dosnt matter what we tell you if you already made your mind up to get a 600 sports bike..


sort of like the kid who drove gocarts for a few years.. 5 years ago ....& thinks a modified V8 would be fine as a first road car...
