Sup everyone.

Hey, welcome dodge10,

A bit of a big call going straight into a 6hundy of that caliber but if you take it easy for a while you'll be ok.

The only advice I would offer is that unless your a nana your first bike will be a steep learning curve and you might find your self on your ass once or twice so I probably wouldn't buy a new bike right away until you've picked up the basics and confidence because gravel rash will drop the resale of your bike big time, also with the new 600's their a bit of a rocket so good gear is highly recommended

[Marmoot]

I wouldn't get 600 on an L license if I were you.
But that's me.

NSR250 is quite pretty too, y'know.....and quite exciting to ride in the twisties.

Also, there is a tale of someone on a cbr250 beating an R1 on a twisty somewhere back in the past......a true legend, that man.

Hey mate welcome.................i bought a 600 straight away before i even had my learners and its not toooo bad just make sure you take it easy for a couple of weeks at least

or months/years?

If you've never ridden a bike, and don't hold a licence - don't do it mate. You're only asking for a painful/fatal, "told you so."

Can you tell I'm now a responsible father?

Whatever you decide - good luck.

Oh - and welcome.

Well ya' could kill ya'self on a 50 I guess,but the real issue with buying an illegal bike is two fold to me.
You are going to crash,depends totaly on you how much damage you do,but on a 6 it's going to cost shit loads more than if you picked an elcheapo type 250 or similar.
The other thing you probably don't give a shit about now but give it time an you'll remember this post.
You fuck up badly enough an you can get banned from riding/driving indefinatly,plus you just might live long enough to one day need insurance for something,good luck making a claim with a criminal history.
Then again it's your call huh.

[Marmoot]

plus, no insurance would cover you if you are riding a bike outside the license restriction. Maybe you do not know, but L license only permits bike up to 250cc.

Plus, L plate on CBR600 just ruins the beauty....just ruins it. In fact, no L plate should be on any Honda. They may look ok on a Gixxer 1K....but not a Honda.

(grab a flameproof suit and hides.......)

if you get your learners you will have to pay more fines man, $400 if you got you full car right, if you got you learners, no plate, going over 70 and then over 250 better off not having a licence at all costs less if you get caught after hours too.

[Sniper]

Texmo, if you say buy a scooter, by god I'll.............

[texmo]

buy a scooter

[texmo]

come up to dorkland in a months time sniper and we can have a drag lets say 1/8th mile or 400m maby even less you up for it or too scared?

[Macktheknife]

Good luck mate, hopefully you will be around long enough to know there is probably a better way to do it. But I guess everyone else will tell you that. Enjoy and ride safe

[Biff]

Some people are very much holier than thou on this site. Personally I'm .....

How about we agree that some people are more concerned for his welfare and bank balance (get caught=big fines) than anything else .

[ducatilover]

i started on a gpz400 race bike. ....then went fucked in the head and legal, got my liscence thingy and got a near new gn250 ......i now officialy hate myself....i want a decent bike..oh, welcome mate

[Dodge10]

Ok, this thing seems hopeless. Damn, im sick of cars. Riding a motorbike is completely different. Thanks for the advices about the fines becos that what bothers me the most, not afraid of dying on a cbr. I will try to get the basics slowly and i believe i will pick it up quickly. God help me. thanks again all

[Marmoot]

Wound heals and chicks dig scars....but if your wallet is thin then ain't no chick gonna be heading your way...

[Dodge10]
