I started with an R1.

I truly believe if you're not an idiot, you could start on any bike. Just take it slow and get used to the throttle.
Brave man!

I started on a 1980 CB750SS. It was slow. Went up to a Katana 600 and then to a Katana 750. If you go 600 you're going to want more relatively quickly. I agree with going bigger right away and just don't be stupid.

My first bike V the zrx1200 :) but yes I agree don't be stupidly stupid and take things slow and you'll be fine. Best way I got use to the power was getting on the highway and in 4th or 5th gear while your cruising roll into the throttle to feel the pull, once your use to that drop a gear and so forth.

My first bike was an 01 gsxr 600 I bought new. I had a ton of fun with that bike. Hell all manufactures say sportbikes are for experienced riders no matter the cc.
My 01 600 was just as fast as my buddies 98 zx9. 600's are a little more forgiving to rider error. I do mean little.
I vote do it!
