dirtbikes and street bikes are totally different i use to race motocross and the bikes are way different you gotta lean with it the steerin wheel only turns a little.. but yea its a nice bike just dont hurt yourself and take your time
Re: My new toy
thats pretty sweet hondaluver. I notice that alot of people with civics tend to buy cbr's.One of my friends has the 600rr and the other one has an F4i. I went for the GSX-R600 
. Once you learn how to ride, you should come to the Zorba meets that we have in Riverside 
btw rennen, the F4i has more torque and is better for streets, while the 600rr is more of a race ready/track type of bike. Another choice could be the ZX-6R since it has 636cc's (the older model) which makes it a good choice for street riding. If youre also looking into other bikes, Ive ridden a Zx-6R, CBR600RR (2006 and 2007 model), F4i, FZ6, Katana 750, R6 and R1, and my GSX-R. Ive had to help my friends ride these back from the dealers, and they give me their spares, so i've been able to take them out whenever
. If you need more help, I can tell you what I think of them, how they ride, etc. but I cant give a really detailed review since I dont ride these as much as I do my own bike. Just trying to help out
btw hondaluver, if you dont have one already, you should invest in a disc lock. My friend had a bicycle lock for his cbr and he got it jacked. lol
whew, that was long

Re: My new toy
yeah, i was really leaning towards the f4i, but i like the center exhaust the 600rr has. it doesnt really matter i guess. im just gonna pick up the first good one i see on craigslist.
hondaluver,
do you have a motorcycle license? im gonna do the class and learn on their bikes so i dont drop the one i get

Re: My new toy
My boyfriend (im a girl by the way lol) had a gixxer 1000, i personally loved the sound of riding on a gixxer, but if i would tell you an opinion id go for the
f4i definately a neck breaker, also be careful with it i must say i've been around street bikes pretty much my whole life and i've lost lots of friends to them. Their definately a bitter sweet toy, just be careful and take it slow. Good luck!

Re: My new toy
OH MY GOD. That's a sexy bike. But really.. i know you want to look good riding and stuff, but for your first bike? That's borderline insane. Learning on a dirtbike is a good idea, mainly because falling on dirt hurts less than concrete. But still, it's such a better idea for first time riders to get an old street bike, an old honda cb550, 750, something a little less.. ummm.. what's the word. FAST

Some people learn the hard way.. Go slow and if you take a few falls brush it off.. buy some touch up paint.. Dont try to do tricks or show off, that is the main reason people get hurt on new bikes.... but in all honesty ... Honda makes nice cars... But Kawasaki Is better on bikes... my personal opinion.. trade that in for a NINJA6R

yea, i know its my first bike and all, but i would never have found this bike anywhere else. the retail is atleast 6,600, people arn't selling this bike in this condition stock for less than 7k. and on top of it, it comes with a 1400 dollar exhaust system, not including other custom upgrades.
