Re: first time bike buyer, local input wanted.
Fairlady; you just contradicted yourself. Bike doesn't look good; underpowered when compared to a 600RR. Duh; even the first 'race ready' CBR600 was 4-5 years ahead of the F4....even leaving out the race ready part.
But then you stated to not worry about power or looks.......?
BTW: I don't disagree with anything you posted, but remember this guys price range and that he's a first time rider/buyer.

Re: first time bike buyer, local input wanted.
I took the MSF course you were talking about a couple months ago. It was definitely worth the time and money, and best of all you are licensed to operate a bike after it. I'm currently looking for a first bike now, and I think I'm in the market for a supermoto. Although I have also heard the Suzuki SV650 is a great beginner bike as well. Just think about your needs for a bike, and your price range, and you will make a good decision.

edit...
The FZ6 is a good bike too... simular to the SV bikes... but has a sport bike engine instead of a v-twin.

It has got plenty of scoot to go around, top speed of 140, cheaper insurance, you can usually get one used for about 1500 is great condition, keep their resale value high 50mpg, soft seat, ergonomical riding position, turns fast as a bitch, The list is really endless.

Re: first time bike buyer, local input wanted.
I love this bike. (i want one soooo bad)
FZR600
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...944408485.html
and
if you want an f4i
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...944681203.html
I lol'd @ mint condition and Dropped/body damage in the same ad. but if it's your first bike, then whatev, you're probably gonna lay it down anyway.
