A race ready track bike with blinkers is NOT a good starter bike.
A bike that runs 10 seconds stock, is NOT a good starter bike.

With that said, 600rr, R6, GSXR 600, Kawi 636, Kawi 600, are all NOT good starter bikes, and anything one 1000cc is out of the question.

Does that mean that you CANT start on one of those bikes? No. Does that mean your odds of survaval, your learning curve, and your fun factor on the street will suck, YES.

CBR F4, F4I
SVS 650
Ninja 500
Ninja 250
And some other bikes are good starter bikes.

Why dosnt everybody start on them? They are not "pretty enough" for new riders. Well let me tell you, if you're getting into it for being pretty, which basically means for the way that other people will see you, you're getting into it for all the wrong reasons.
If you care about how the other people see you on the bike, thats a really bad road to go down on, the road of wearing no gear, doing wheelies when chicks ask you to, and trying to be cool everytime you leave the parking lot.

Anyway, rambling on.

You're height/size/weight IS NOT a determening factor in chosing a starter bike.

Twins are much more prefered to being street bikes and starter bikes, because they make less power for the same CC but have a much broader power range, and are not "peaky".

Trapping 112-113 IS Crazy.

Whats the fastest car you've ever been in? 11 seconds maybe? Even so keep in mind 11 second cars are required to have cages at the track for your safety. Now imagine you're on the bike that is FASTER then the 11 second car, with no safety net/cage around you, only 2 wheels to balance on, and every vehicle with the stupid person behind the wheel who's drinking, reading, talking on their cellphone and day dreaming all at the same time, can take you out and take your life.

You should have as little things to worry about as possible, not riding a 10 second machine to try to learn on is one of them.

Will you listen to me? Probably not, you will probably go out and buy a new 600CC just like everybody else does. Do I care? No not really. Its enough for me to hear stories of those people who do that crashing their bike within their first year. I have a LOT of fun on the SV, put 6K miles on it in about 7 months the first year. I KNOW if i had a 600CC i would have crashed it by now, because of the close calls I had.



Ps. Oh and TAKE MSF, GET GEAR, and get your licence.
