I am not against a 600 as a beginner bike. It doesn't have as much low end grunt as a lot of bikes, so if you approach the bike with the right frame of thought, you can learn to ride on them. She seems to have a level head from internet posts, I think she will be fine. Plus she has the advantage of not having male ego.

Haha.. I know I'm not STARTING on a 600... I had a 500 for a year, put about 1000 miles on it, and have a huge backround in dirtbikes and four wheelers. If I had NEVER had experience on any type of bike I could understand why you all would say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Squid.
Now I'm looking at geting a used 600, I was asking for advice about them, what people liked, what they didnt like, etc. I ride mostly to school and back and thats a pretty decent longer scenic ride.

![]() I'd say look for an SV or the Ninja 650 (and if you don't like naked bikes, the SV does have a full fairing kit you can get). They're good and comfy and just a good all around bike (esp the SV, in my opinion), since you're not out carvin canyons or anything like that. And the F4i would be a good one as well, though I can't recall if they're a bit heavy for their size. |
