Re: lookin for a first bike...
No sir, but it sounds like a good starter bike. If I didnt like screwing around so much, I would for sure get an old bike for the first one and drive it for a summer to get used to it. Second summer comes along and so does the CBR600
 . What kinda bike are you looking for?

Re: lookin for a first bike...
Excellent starter bikes are the 250 class. Not too muh power but still out accel. a car =) When you buy a bike , do a quick tune up and definenelty check the tires and if needing to be replaced , don't put it off.
People say alot about older bikes with tons and tons of miles for a bike but if you maintain it , it will last as long as a car so..take it for what its worth. Also , if you have never riden before , I would recomend you take a riding class. It's only like 100 - 150 dollars but prevent stupi dmistakes down the road caused by lack of experience and knowledge . Ride safe man.

Re: lookin for a first bike...
Ahh , mine was only 180 , I go re-up every 5 years just for the hell of it. Utah is harsh about their riding laws as well so I had no choice lawl. But just be careful and take it easy , move up 200 - 300cc a season. seen a lot of firends who thought they were seasoned riders take some pretty nasty dumps just because a lack of knowledge on the common sense shit :/

Re: lookin for a first bike...
The first bike I ever rode was an 07 zx6-r. I would never go smaller than a 600 personally. I'll probably end up with a 750+cc for my first bike. As long as you aren't an idiot while you ride you will be fine.

Re: lookin for a first bike...
zx6r is a great bike. Are you looking for a cruiser or a rocket?
