Its REALLY tame below 7000rpm and completely torque-less. They are very forgiving bikes and have the power necessary up top when you need it.

Unless you're opting for a 500, it'll save you the trouble from upgrading a few months down the road when you get bored which I almost guarantee you, you will.


Just my 0.02,

what kind of bike were you planning on looking at?
I'll probably end up with a CBR125R and ride that around like a pussy .. I've been looking for Ninja 250's but it's crazy how much people seem to want for them. Looks like for the same money I could easily get an older 600, so it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

I'd rather just get a GSXR and be done with it, but everybody keeps saying starting on a 600cc bike means 100% chance of death
edit: and then I come on Revscene and turns out half of you did it anyway LOL
