ok you guys overexaggerate way to much... and you guys all tend to same thing
As I said before, riding bikes is not a joke. 600CC sportbikes have an immense amount of power. Give it a bit too much throttle in a turn and you will be greeted by the asphault. I frankly don't care if you take my advice or not. In the end, I'm not the one who is going to end up in the hospital, you are. I my self have a Ninja 250. I hate it, it sux ***** and its slow. But I still ride it every chance I get to gain experiance. At the end of the season I will most likely upgrade to a CBR600F4i. I can already tell you that I've made mistakes that on a CBR would have sent me to the hospital. Now I know not to make those mistakes. Just my .02 cents.

if you've never ridden a sportbike on the street, then getting a high performance 600 r bike may not be the safest option.

i used to have a CBR600 and would never recommend a novice get a high performance sportbike to learn on. it's just too much power. and 750s are just plain ludacris.

250 - 500 ccs would be a better bike to learn on.
I too owned a CBR600, it's what I learned on, and I think it was a more than suitable option.

I've gone on this rant a million times, so I'll spare everyone this time

nobody dies "happy" on a motorcycle after being run over by a car or t-boned by an SUV.

LOL what manual are you reading? There are much more efficient ways to warm up your tires. You can ride around till they are warm or you can buy tire warmers. Burnouts are inefficient because they waste alot of rubber. They also damage the road and will get you a ticket from the police pretty quick. The rest of your post makes no sense, except loud pipes save lives but i've heard that before and its prolly true.

Does he have experience on bikes? If not, hug him the next time you see him because it might be the last.

A couple of weeks in a row I saw a guy with a grey/black Hayabusa at my moque. Then one week the Hayabusa has a bunch of road rash on one side. After that I called the guy Little Ben (after Big Ben Rothlesberger) but I didn't actually know the guy. The Hayabusa is prolly the most dangerous bike you can buy. Lots of people buy them b/c it is the fastest production bike in the world but if you don't have any experiance with sport bikes, you could become well aquainted with the asphault...
