but its the sensible thing to do wen u never ridden a bike :|

the Gsx is a fast fooker, il give ya that, if it was me i would however get the 600 as you would soon get fed up of 400cc or the Sv there nothing on the Gsx

400 or an SV650 would b more suitable!

gixxer 600 is pretty mental for a first bike, its not as forgiving as something like a CBR. I was looking into getting into biking last summer and all the bikers at the gym advised agaisnt a gixxer 600.

I woulnt suggest a gixxer600 as a first bike, it woul dbe like passing you driving test and been given a 400bhp cossie to drive about in

would suggets something like a BROS, VTR250, VFR 400, or RVF 400 etc

Thats right mate more often than not, you come off a bike at speed and you Die a friend of mine came off his bike at the weekend. Him a damp patch and ended up under a truck lost a finger and the bike fooked. But ur P1 will still beat them

I have a few mates that race them but wont take them on the road! Like they say, its still dangerous on a track but when you do come off, theres plenty of room to slide and when you do come to a halt there are no kerbs, railings, cars, fences, walls, trees etc to smash your head on!

As people has said you only live once and everything is dangerous but theres very few things that are as dangerous as bikes! Its not you, its the people who you leave behind!

The GSX 600 may only be Small in cc but dont think that its the same as a Bandit 600. Or SV650. There worlds apart

But as far as strting on smaller bikes the ride of the SV650 and a GSXR 600 are also worlds apart one is slower grunty and horrid sounding the other is a fast High reving speed machine, And if you have never been on a bike befor the starting on a small bike thing is not an isue as any bike you get on would make most Corsas seam slow

I like the crb 600 rr. Mate has just got an '05 one....its farkin lovely.

Start with a smaller bike SV650 mate !! Trust me

I probably more than most know the dangers, but, you only live once and I want one. 99% of the things you do daily are dangerous in one way or another. I would have all the protection available and be careful so....just need some £££ now :lol:

mate had an 05 GSXR 600 delivered on saturday 7 miles on the clock , needs to run it in for 500 miles , got it for 5.5K 0% finance sweet as :D

don't like bikes.....

Thought it was gonna be a zigga-zig-ahh :(

yes they are dangerous but just be carefull and u will be ok!
they are a gd first 600cc bike but i would if it was me i would wonder why that tail unit has been changed as its pretty new!
has it been crashed?
i broke my back in 2 places on a bike but still love them and cant wait till i have my next one!
just make sure u wear all the protective gear though!

Dont.. my mate died on one.. they are death traps IMO

get 1 then :)

a bike...
