Re: plz help me with 1st bike choices
For a starter bike, from personal experience, i'd have to say the FZR600 is a great bike, good all around power, smooth handeling, looks aren't everything, right? i owned a 1996 and it definately was worth the 2g's.

On the other hand if your moving up to street I say the f3 or old gixxer is a nice bike to ride.Honda's hold there value and are all aroudn good bikes imo.

Re: plz help me with 1st bike choices
WELL I THINK THE BEST ONE IS GSX-R 600.... HIS BRAKES R SIMPLY PERFECT, A FEW MONTHS AT 34 HORSEPOWER, AND NO PROBLEM TO BEGIN STUNNIN' LIKE CRAZY DAN!!! 
BUT IF I WILL HAVE TO CHOICE ONE OF THE LIST, I THINK THE MOST FUNCTIONALLITY AND EASY TO RIDE IS GS500..... BUT NO CBRF4i PLIZ!!!! REALLY NASTY AND UGLY BIKE!! MAYBE THE RR, BUT IT'S SO RADICAL TO BEGIN...

Re: plz help me with 1st bike choices
to true man, you'll find guys that only want to ride fiddy's, or just street fighters. it IS all about what you feel comfortable on. i rode a 700 then a 600 and then my 929. i was happy with the 929 not just because of the power but its comfotable for me since im tall.

Re: plz help me with 1st bike choices
Hey, My first is what I have now. Been riding that for awhile but its in my opinion the best bike out there. CBR600! Now I have an older one in the vintage of 95. But that aside, one fine upgrade was 98 skin. Anywho, I am in the market to sell mine if you are in the market to buy! Its got 7,300 miles on the odo and some mighty fine upgrades like 2 brothers exhaust, K&N filter +++ others. I am looking to get about $3,500 out of it and I am in NC...FT. Bragg. Let me know if you are interested!
