Dude, trust me, don't start street riding on a GSXR600.

Another tip - don't buy a new cycle for your first. Find a good used 250 (we discussed a couple in another thread) and take a MSF course. Riding on the street is serious, and you need to be prepared. Make sure you have money left for good gear and insurance.

I'm telling you this based on over 35 years of street riding, and more on the dirt before that. I've owned over 30 cycles (currently have a dozen), and some were Super Sports. I've taught 2 boys to ride cycles, starting when they were about 3. I still insisted that they not start street riding on Super Sports and that they take a MSF course.

EDIT: Va beat me to the fatherly advice...
