Hey. This is an old man talking ( 47 ), corporate jet mechanic by trade, and I just got my first bike, a 2001 CBR929RR with 8000 miles on it.
I know what the guys are talking about, urging you to get a lighter bike like the 600 F4i, etc. All I can say is, I am no natural born rider, but this is the only bike I know, so I didn't bring any bad habits into this game. Yeah the throttle is super sensitive, but beyond that, YOU are controlling the speed. And this year 929 only outweighs the same year 600 by four pounds, so it's light as a feather.
I would think a guy coming off years of riding on a Harley would get himself in way more trouble on my bike than a newbe rider, but that's just me.
Buy the bike that gets your blood flowing, and watch that throttle.
Do the speed limit...........just get there in 3.5 seconds.

I got my '05 cbr600rr this past august and it is my first bike. I say if you want it, go get it cuz chances are you will get the smaller/older bike and then want to move into the 600. Prior to getting the bike, I've ridden a dirt bike, I think it was a 50cc, for about an hour and that was 10 years ago. The aggressive seating took me a bit to get used to but it's not a big deal if you ride it often. The MSF class will definitely help as far as giving you some good techniques in safety. Good luck and happy cruisin

My first bike is the 2006 CBR 600RR you all mightn think Im crazy but I like to live on the edge. I fell in love with this bike and needed to have it. I have taken the safety courses and got my liscense and enjoy riding. I hope not to drop my bike and I really dont think about it. Evryone says buy a beater but Im sure there are people out there that ha ve not dropped thier bikes before. I saw a couple of people drop the bikes in the safety course but thats the only time. I think if you respect the bike it will respect you, dont cross that line where u feel uncomfortable. Now that I got all that BS out of the away Honda has some good financing and awsome new bikes so go get it you cant take the money to the grave with you. Spend it while you got and enjoy life
