i would get what you want. dont let these guy scare you away from the sport. if you want a 600 get a 600 you can get killed on any of them. don't get one if you are scared to die, don't drive your car don't even leave your house it could burn in your sleep and kill you too. i hope you kinda get the point. i have been riding for about four years and lost two friends and been down my self. i get scared every time i get on mine but its not scared to die it if i told every one i care about bye just in case i dont come back. get what you went and learn too ride it in a big ass parking lot [stay away from the curbs].
