I found some helpful links on Sport Riders web site and thought I'd like to them to answer some of the questions that get asked often

What's wrong w/ getting a 600RR as a starter? I did that in 03 and no problems here.
Still happy w/ it, and didn't go down b/c of too much power...
I want the new 600RR now

i bought a 600 f4i as my starter bike and im doing fine. if you dont respect the bike you shouldnt be on one in the first place no mater what size it is.

Totally agree! I started out with an R1, simply because i really fell in love with that bike! It was in 1998, so the bike was really advanced compared to the others...

You guys need a 900RR to start off with.....

i started with a 900 rr and i loved it heavy and powerful - you just have to respect whats under you and ride to your limits <--always pushing that is!

people are just haters of the fact that some starter bikes are better than their bikes they ride 4 years into riding m0torcycles

Want to know if a F3 rear shock will fit on a F1?

Bumble Bee -> RE: The dos and don'ts of lowering your bike to fit you. (12/18/2007 1:50:49 PM)

That was not a bad read.  I'll just leave my bike high and lean over just a bit at stops.

PlayfulGod -> RE: The dos and don'ts of lowering your bike to fit you. (12/18/2007 2:10:28 PM)

too all the guys/gals that started on a 600+ and had no problems. You are like 1%, the other 99% crashed/died/or are crippled.

And its not hating, its common sense to start small n work you way up. I would almost bet that a rider that started on a 250 n worked his way up to the bike he wanted can out ride 99% of those who started out on a 1k.

Miller_racing43 -> RE: The dos and don'ts of lowering your bike to fit you. (1/7/2008 10:39:10 PM)

i'm not tryin to start an arguement but for most people a 250 is stupid i know for me a 600rr was the perfect starter bike.. i know for some people they might need a 250 but some have more natural riding ability and are more capable of handling the bike, and 1k's where i live are nowhere near as fun to ride as a 600 so i don't think i'll ever step up to the big bikes... .but thats my opinion  i know some of you guys will say something

yarbrouc -> RE: The dos and don'ts of lowering your bike to fit you. (1/9/2008 3:32:16 PM)

I started on an F4i and have owned a couple of 600's, 1000's, and a Busa with no problems. I have a friend who started on a Busa (retarded yes) but he's done great. Personally I wouldn't be caught dead on a 250 just my .02

lmao...yeah 99% probably have crash but nothing other than that. You make it sound like everyone that's started out on a 600 has been seriously injured or died.....that's not even the case. Yeah crashing is part of learning but nothing more than road rash....and once you do it you know your limits. I personally haven't crashed and i started out on a 600....and honestly i wouldn't recommend anyone start out on anything smaller just because once you move up, u have to get use to a completely different bike.
