Hey I'm 20, 155 pounds, 6 feet tall. Male.
Anyway, I have done my research over the past couple of months dealing with this subject.
I took the class about a month ago and they had us riding around on the 250s. When I took that class, I felt really comfortable riding and throughout the class. Basically that size bike was a little smaller than what I wanted to shoot for. I always thought about getting a 250 Ninja or so as a first bike until I finished up with this class. I figured if I felt that good riding, that I may become bored and ready to move up real soon and end up spending more money than if I decided to move up to 600cc for a first bike.
Not trying to convince anyone to agree with me... but I do understand how sensitive these bikes are. Couple friends have r6s, gixxer 600s/750s etc... At first, they always told me that it is capable of starting on 600 but just be careful.
I really do believe that I can start out at the 600 taking it slow and learning safely. I already do have my gear and am planning to buy one within the next month.
So, I really like the r6. As I said, been around friends with them and that was what I wanted to go after.
Do you think it is ok to start with a 600cc? Thanks.
