i know this question has been asked alot here but i guess ill ask anyway. what would be a good first street bike for me to get. i have a alot of experience on dirtbikes and i have been riding a few years i have a 07 crf250r that i am pretty comfortable on. i am 18, 6' 180lbs. i am looking at a gixxer 600-750 or a cbr 600rr. i have ridden a triumph daytona 675 and had a blast on it with no problems. would like any feed back on which to get. thanks.
 
?? where to start??

"i have a alot of experience on dirtbikes" how much is a lot? ive been riding for 40+ years & im still learning..(they say if your not learning you probably died & don't know it)

" i have a 07 crf250r that i am pretty comfortable on" I guess this is a relative term..puttering around the vacant lot/ racing in the Dakar Rally.. still not letting me know how well you ride??

"i have ridden a triumph daytona 675" this could mean you rode to the local shop & back on a friends bike??

The really great thing about riding dirt bikes is the fact that there are no road rules to follow & no cars or trucks or buses or trains or trams .. riding in the dirt is a great place to get some of the basics for riding on the tarmac..( a lot of the Moto GP riders started in the dirt).. but I still would not suggest a 600cc sports bike as a first road bike..

I would suggest a second hand bike up to 650cc that is not a 4 cylinder sports.. the SV650 twin Suzuki or similar may be a good option.. ride that for a year & then trade it in on the 600cc sports.
