A GSXR is a great first bike. It was my first bike. Have fun and don't be stupid.

My first bike was a Gsxr600. PLease believe these things have a lot of power and you must be carefull on that first run. I nearly lost mines on my first take off. i bought a gsxr for my first bike? probably a dumb question but my cousin said that it would be fine. hes been riding for about 10 years. i dont know. thanks for the help.

a 600 is great for a 1st bike, but could be dangerous if you don't respect its power. just take your time and be careful learning how to turn...the bike is heavier than it looks and can be scary maneuvering for the first few rides. buy some gear and have fun tho' :thumbup:

I nearly lost mines on my first take off. id suggest learning the clutch(ing) on something like a dirt bike or something. Get that down and youll be fine. Or make sure you get somethign you wont mind if its dropped
