Took the class, got the license, now for the bike....
Well the title says all. I took the class at TCC which was a good experience and alot of fun and about a week ago I got my M endorsement on the license. Im planning on buying a bike in about 2 months and play around with it in the backroads for a while to learn so ill be ready for next season. Hopefully ill get one in time to get in a few good weather days in November!

Re: Took the class, got the license, now for the bike....
Im looking to get either a Katana or a R6. But im pretty open to just about any 600cc sport bike. Its most likely going to be the bike i can get the best deal on. Any 600's i should stay stay away from?

Re: Took the class, got the license, now for the bike....
Its fine for a beginners bike. But the aerodynamics of it suck IMO, and most people grow out of it. I started out on the R6, and im VERY happy with it. I think you will find the way it handles to be better than the other 600's, though i here the cbr comes close, however, it lacks the power of a gsxr or a zx-6r.
I will say that coming out of that class, you are ready for any 600, you just need to adjust to it first and take it really easy until you have the miles under your belt. Its a lot more power than those 250's they use
I think after i put my first 300 miles on, i started to get on it a little harder. Take everything in baby steps. 
Oh, and yes, welcome to this wonderful sport
