i want to pick up a 600rr and need some advice

hi this is my first post on the board my name is steve. i currently have a HD sporty for my first bike and i would like to get a cbr500rr at the earliest next summer. but i wanted to know im 20 yo right now and i wanted to know how old are the guys on the board? my dad had a vfr1000 interceptor back in the day when he was 28 and i just wanted to see the age group of the riders are.

also how is insurance for a cbr600rr

Hi Steve -- welcome to the board! I'm an old fock -- just turned 39 and ride a 1000RR. Insurance for you is gonna be sticker shock no matter what sportbike you get. The numbers just aren't on a 20yo's side. If you have the $$ buy it outright and just get liability and theft -- it'll save you big bucks.

welcome steve, I too am old, 32. I've seen a couple 16 year olds on here so we cover all ages and we're one big happy family.

27 I am somewhere in the Middle and I run plpd on my Bike cause insurance is nutz and I can only drive 8 months of the year :-(

I just turned forty in August. But still active.

Im 23 and have had a 63 year old man blister my butt on the track. At least until he got tired and I could pass him back. There are riders from all ages here.

At least until he got tired and I could pass him back.

At 63... he wasn't tired, either his geritol wore off or he needed a nap.

I will be 37 in December. To give you an even better idea of ages, I am in the middle of working on a 91 Katana I bought for $400 so my 36 year young wife can learn to ride it on the street before I give her the 05 600RR full time.

Hi ya and WELCOME! 39 here and have been riding since I was 15.....

welcome steve, im 19 and your inscurance will probably suck. i have seen insurance rate on this sit alone, anywhere from like 40bucks a month for what they say is full coverage, on up to my 170 a month so there is a lot of factors involved that will give you a different out come. good luck with getting a cbr

I took out a personal loan through a bank and they did not require me to carry full coverage,however if i financed through honda credit i would have had to carry full coverage.i paid a little more of an intrest rate at the bank but saved loads of $$$$on insurance.$160/year compared to$2000-$4500.im 25 and own a 04 cbr 600 rr,20 years old idk if i owned my bike at 20 i prolly wouldnt be here today lol.just ride within yourself youll be alright.Another thing when you apply for ins. tell them you plan to put on a minimum amount of miles per year and it also helps if you dont live in the city,maybe if you have relitives that live out in the sticks you can use there address.

...28...i payed 145 for the whole year and i just have to keep from gettin it stole or gettin hit by someone without ins. i only really carry my insurance to keep the police happy. i figure if i get hit again (like the hit and run on the freeway i have already been in)i'll be happy to still be alive and i can use the damage as an oportunity for new mods...lol. also when i bought my bike i got this kinda gap insurance, which i'm sure some of you also got, that if someone steals it they cut me a check for 5 grand. it won't actually cover the cost of the bike but it was a one time fee and it's better than nothin. the reason i don't have full coverage is cuz i don't have a covered garage to put it in so they won't let me with some companys. the ones that will cost too much and the customer service truly sucks.

30... and I think my bike added like 22 bucks a month to my policy. And that is full coverage.

-Steve

26.. my bikes added like $580 to my policy for a year. CBR 600RR and SUZUKI 1400 INTRUDER.

23. 700 a year.

welcome steve, i'm 22 with an 05 600rr, i pay 400 a year with no theft. good luck

Welcome here, i`m 24 don`t ask about ins here in the uk its to painful a question.
