Buy something that won't leave you so broke you can't buy good gear, and don't listen to squidfags or stunt-tards.

600s are for pussies, you want the 1000

>>28911026
Get the Honda.

>>28911026
GS500, sitty up basic is the place to start.
GPZ900R from the eighties is frucking stupid.
Anything later than that is what ever wibbles your tiddler.

I always loved that red, white and blue color scheme. I started much smaller though, on a 2010 CBR 125 R in that color.

RC8C sounds good, but its also a $42000 turn key track only race bike.

Someone back in the day described it as "riding a 180mph moped", that stuck in my mind.

You should take a motorcycle class and get your license before actually buying a motorcycle

Thank me later.

600 cc is the rational choice, but I think about replacing my 650 cc with a 1000 cc everyday.

>>28911026

sure
naked bikes are cooler
get a naked bike

>>28912437
Every bike can become a naked bike once you drop it.

Riding a motorcycle is dangerous. Buy an electric powered mid-size SUV instead. Then you (should) make it home safely to see your wife and kids.

The aprilia is easily the best bike of these six.

watching 600bros from the 2000s/2010s turn into this generation's equivalent of muscle car boomers is hilarious

>>28912531
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave.

It really does make sense
>insists you must start the same way they did
>No bro you can't beat a 600 its just as fast bro as 1000s bro trust me bro
>Yeah bro you gotta have technology bro you die without the bike riding for you
>ahhh that sound note (shorty exhaust spam)

>>28912534
they even wildly overvalue their bikes as well. You can probably go online right now and find numerous examples of any of the 2000s 600 class bikes with 20k+ miles, 2 lowsides, and a dozen known owners for $6k+

>>28911333
why did they stop making seats like that?

>>28912437
This. Unless you plan on regular track days a neked is objectively superior.

>>28911026
I can't desu. GSXR is a gift from the gods.

>>28912539
It's always the Yamaniggers too trying to sell their busted heavily modified 07 R6 acting like it was Rossi's own M1.

Nothing are as boomerish as ADV bikes, so just buy any sport or naked and you're good

Ahhhh if I didn't have a family I'd get a cbr600. What a bike

>>28911026
you're gonna die

>>28913671
Imagine wanting to live
Lol lmao rofl kek

Don't get a 600 for your first bike unless you have experience riding dirt. Riding is a skill, and 600s are not made for beginners. I started on a 600. I got lucky a few times, and my skill development was absolutely hindered by the bike. Get a Ninja 400.

>>28913676
Surely buying a gun and shooting yourself in the mouth would be a lot cheaper. Much quicker, even.

Fingers on the cluch and a carefully tuned ear was useful in the seventies.
H2 was not intended as a first bike.

just buy a road glide like a real man

>>28911026
I wouldn't recommend a sport bike as a first bike.

Sorry mate, I2's just sound like shit 99.9% of the time. It's not everyone, but it's not just me.
I can appreciate any other config, just the I2's are gross, offering nothing over any other config.
They barely make the same power per CC as I4's on carbs 25 years ago did, weigh marginally less than V/L twins 25 years ago did with barely more power.
I will concede that maybe it's a generational thing. Maybe new riders just don't know how many heroes have been relegated to the graveyard thanks to manufacturing costs, emissions nannying and lowering the standards for something with soul.
For anything that isn't a 1/100 unit or track first, road 2nd, they're heavier, slower and sound like I2 ricer farts.
