Yeah man, just start with a 600. It is plenty fast and you wont even use 100% of the bikes potential. I personally would get the 04-05 used. I think they look the nicest.Originally Posted by AnthonyF
You cant compare a bike to a car, the learning curve is very different.
Just be careful when buying a used bike, since you don't know what a bike feels like get someone who rides and knowledgeable to test it.
