Hey guys, I am almost about to buy a gsx-r 600, but I have some things I wanted to talk about first before I did anything.

Should I buy a new bike for my first bike? I don't know how to ride but I will be attending riding classes shortly.

Also if I get a used bike what are something to look for, in a used bike?

And another thing is.. I live in Illinois right now and I am moving to caLifornia in a month and a half. I heard that bikes outside of california can't come in because of the different emissions etc. Can you guys give me some more info.

Thanks.

whatever you do don't get your bike stolen like i did.

If your fairly new to riding I would suggest used. Unless you are willing to live with scarred plastics and possibly bent levers and willing to do that to a new bike. I have never personally met someone who hasnt went down, be it on a road or in the freakin driveway:clap: no comment!

Get a used bike....a few years old for around 4-5 Gs. Make sure you get a jacket, gloves, and shoes...and have a shit-load of fun.

Should probably take it off your list in your profile then right?

This question can only be answered by someone who knows you well. If you're responsible and treat the bike with respect then there's no reason not to go with a new bike. I'm a young guy, 19 on a new 2006 750 and couldn't be happier. Just be sure to take the MSF course and then go from there. Good luck to ya :thumbup:

first bike 600cc = bad idea

:funny:

Listen 600cc will be fine for a 1st bike just dont over do it, now as far as new or used I would go used and like someone else said get good gear gloves a good helmet not a cheap piece of shit that will shatter if it falls off the hood of a car and good luck
