That's incorrect. I started on a 600, and I know many people that have started on a 600, one that started on a liter bike. There are plenty of bikes in the 600 class that would be fine to start with. 600F4i, yzf600, fzr600...

250 or even a 500 are such complete wastes of time for someone who is in the know about fast cars, handling, etc.

I definitely think Ceebee would have no trouble starting on a 600. He's got clutch control and throttle control down from cars and autocrossing, and he's not a moron, so I doubt he'd be driving like an idiot.

It all comes down to how well your head is connected to your right hand.
