What should i get for my first bike?

Question

I know ill get a lot of criticism for wanting a 600 cc bike for my first bike, but i don't care, that is what i want. The real question is should it be a cbr600, r6, gsxr600, or something a little different like a fz6? I want something that is an 05 or so and around 5k. So far i have been thinking more about the fz6 because of the cheaper insurance and more comfortable riding position, but i have always loved the way crotch rockets looked. I will probably look into getting the bike early in october. And yes this would be my first bike, i had a gas scooter a while ago that i rode around a lot, and i drive a manual car. I know that doesn't matter that much but in my opinion it does make a small difference. Also, I am signed up for a safety course at the end of september. So what are yalls opinions on the matter?

Answer 1

I personally wouldn't jump straight into something like an R6 or a GSX-R 6. My first bike was a suzuki bandit followed by a gsx600f both of which were great bikes at good prices.

Answer 2

get a honda it wil save u and ive had a honda and u just caint hurt them

Answer 3

Hey! I was in your shoes too about 2 months ago. I just bought a gsxr 750 k8. I know, a lot of people said that I should get something like a 600 or the ninja 500. So, get what you want.. its your money anyway. If I were you, I would get a cbr600 just because it’s the strongest in its class. I love suzuki but Honda would have to be right up there too. My cousin has a cbr600 and doesn’t even have trouble keeping up with a 1000. I don’t really like the Yamahas but this is just based on my opinion so the choice is yours. If you want something strong, get the gsxr 600 or the Honda cbr.. good luck!
