I used to want a bike, until i saw this wreck on the freeway where a guy lost his leg in a motorcycle wreck. It was laying in the middle of the rode, i drove past it. Just a boot, sock, and half a leg sticking out. That was fucked up. Like a bad dream.

Bikes have come a long way in the past 6 years. Any of the 600's will do you just fine, though I'd stay away from the Kawasaki's because of poor build quility. The Honda F4i is a fine bike, but I'd recommend the R6. The RC51 is nice, but the ride is "weird", you'll know what I mean if you get to try it. I got a 2000 R1 (not recommended if you're just starting out again).

I had a Yamaha FZR-600 that was a great bike.Handle nicely and was very lite..I'd atleast check one out...

I HAVE A ZX6R AND I THINK IT IS GREAT. I USED TO RACE 2 STROKES (ROADRACE) AND A 600 IS ALL YOU NEED. ANY OF THE 600'S WILL DO JUST FINE. AS FAR AS FALLING GOES THERE 2 TYPES OF RIDERS: THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN AND THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO FALL. JUST HOW SAFE YOU RIDE IS UP TO YOU.

For the price of a new CBR 600 you can get a sweet used 750 Super Sport.

Or for that matter you can get a new Monster 900. Not really a crotch rocket, but an awesome bike nonetheless.

Check out www.munroemotors.com that's where I got my bike.

And I fall into the latter category....... my opinion is to stay away from those things.... I fell off a crotch rocket at the blazing speed of 3 mph.. yes THREE miles an hour...took a dive parking it..it launched me across the concrete and skidded the hell outta my hands....... this being the same bike that earlier in the day I had going 150 easy on the highway....... Sold it the next week and never got back on one again.......
