Please don't listen to this guy. After the 650 get a 600. Smaller engine, but a hell of a lot faster and the seating position is totally different. You'll have to learn to control it crouched over the tank

I agree that would be suicide. Kids just out of high school get themselves killed or seriously injured on 600's all the time...to start on a 1000 is pointless because without experience you really can't ever touch the throttle. Hell even just, say, having the throttle open 1/4 turn and accidentally dropping the clutch could really fuck you up on this thing...

You said it like it is hghtrebor. I've been riding for two years and I still have some doubts as to whether or not I could limit myself to a safe level on this machine. It would be tough. Always knowing that if you REALLY wanted to you COULD launch just a little bit faster from that stoplight...I think that would be my biggest problem. I've been down enough to be able to control my speed and keep it safe in the corners and not do stupid shit like swerving back and forth vilently 4 no reason lol.

I bought this bike friday evening. I had a 2005 just like it, which was a whole lot more uncontrollable than this bike. I will say this, I am still in the break in and haven't been above 6000 rpm and it feels much faster than the 05. Word of advice from a 15 year veteran of sportbikes who has been down, to the person who said you could start on this bike if you use control. 1.) if you are just starting you don't have control enough to "control yourself". 2.)go ahead and pick out a wheelchair

yes ur right if ur clueless completely noway i agree, its always jumping from cc to cc, if u ride a 125 go to a 600 if u wish but u gota be careful, ok these new litre bikes for 08 and o7 even will kill defenately, caution is whats best

there is NO WAY a person should learn to ride on a 1000cc superbike...preferably not even a 600

yeah u can ride this for a starter bike, just dnt get tempted to open the taps even a little bit, not until experience is gained. if u do u might aswell jump of a cliff or try and stop a moving train, prety much the same result in all cases, had a friend who fell for that one only it was a gsxr
