From a new rider point of veiw i would just like to add that it doesnt hurt to be curtious either. Latly alot of people jump on people who consider a 600 or bigger for their fist bike or their returing bike after XX amount of years from riding. I think that instead of everyone with experiance trying to scare the hell out of new riders, explain to them why a 600 or bigger is not the right choice. But do so calmly not with the "get one and die attitude".

Obviously starting with 600CCs or bigger is frowned upon on this particular website more so than others. But with a new riding season on its way that means many more new riders to discover the site, and many more "I want a gixxer 1000 for my first bike, but is there one faster?" Not biting their heads off would be more inviting to them, and possibly make them a good contributer to the community in a whole sometime in the future.
