how old are you?

ditto to what everyone else is saying, 250, 650, older 600.

for a first timer, I wouldnt even endorse a 600 ANYTHING. my 87 despite being a little down on power, feels strong enough to EASILY put one on their ass without trying. start small or not at all if you want to learn SAFELY how to ride.

Yes...yes...Buy the RC8!!! Where do you live so I can plan a trip to buy it offn ya cheap.......

I feel so funny on this board now....when I started on the other board, I felt like a lone voice in the forest....

Now so many of you have years and miles under your belts... and the experience and wisdom that goes with it.

Ya'll make me proud. ('Cept for some of the wierd sexual group stuff a few of you folks are into....)

What can I say? we've spent some time in the saddle and learned a few things over the course of a few thousand miles or more and maybe a crash or two...

wisdom only comes from experience. I believe someone once said that to be old(er) and wise, you must first be young and dumb to gain that wisdom and age.
