I'm new to bike n idk nothing about bike. This is my first time getting bike n Im gonna get 2004-2009 Honda cbr600rr cause I like the way is look n is fast that what I heard.lol

Will what years of cbr600rr should I get n wht is bad n good about engine n handing?
 
Fast and first bike are usually bad combos. I think you would be much better served by a Kawasaki EX500/Ninja 500 or a Suzuki GS500F. Better fuel economy, decent power, better for a beginner.
 
I learned to ride on 50cc, 75cc, and 185cc dirtbikes.
I'd suggest you give this a shot, as when you fall, you don't get as hurt, and you learn a lot about how the bike reacts on things like wet grass, dirt, leaves, etc.

Hitting a patch of sand on a motorcycle and hitting a pile of leaves on a dirtbike are much more similar than you might think.
 
Also keep in mind that the probability of spilling your first bike is quite high. So you might want to think about something a little used to start out with.
 
A 600RR is a very fast bike indeed. As are all other similar 600cc sport bikes.

Not to be insulting but it's not the bike that will harm you. It's how you operate it that will determine if you live, die or get injured. It's all about attitude. You can probably handle the machine and maintain your health if you have the maturity to resist foolhardy activity such as racing on the street and other dangerous antics.

I agree that the MSF course should be your first investment of time and money. It would also be wise to get yourself something a little tamer and less expensive to learn on. I'd suggest a 250cc to 400cc dual purpose bike as a learner. You can take it off road and learn what it's like to slip and slide in the dirt and possibly what it's going to feel like the first time you fall off at speed.

Make sure you get decent safety and riding gear. It can go a long way to help reduce "rocking chair" time.
