Hi all , i wanted to say that I'm glad i found this forum , I just bought my first bike a cbr600 f4 - 1999 , it has 17k miles but is in great shape , i bought it for 2500 euros , i m from romaina , though i know that it's not wise to buy your first bike a 600 cbr , I couldn't resist , it's to wicked sick looking , it kicks some rear and it's not an RR , not what i want , i don't want to go fast more than 100 mph , i just wanted to ask the veterans from this site to give me some tips as to the best .. slow .. cruising style of riding for this bike , I am going to take the equivalent of the MSF course here in romania (they have a suzuky gs 500f i think) , so yeah that's about it , ofc i will get full gear also can you give me some good gear manufacturers that are cheap at the same time , shoei and vanucci are kinda expensive :P Here are some pics of my bike as well.
Wish you all dry tarmac and many miles withouth incidents.

Yeah I decided that I will buy good gear , from top brands but , I'll buy them second hand , 60% cheaper in some cases and for a beginer like me they're allright.
