Hi everyone, Im new here as a member but I've known of this site for a while. I wanted to know what bike is the best for a beginner? I was thinking about a Honda CBR 600. Thanks

hmmm, i hope you have some retardent suits on.. I cant decide if your a troll or not.. If you have been lurking that long you would most definatley know the answer to this..No a 600 is not a sportbike for a beginner..check out the 250 or 500.. but before you do that check out the MSF course.. (standard answer)..

Welcome to SBN!!

You might want to start by reading all the stickies in the "new riders" section. A lot of your questions are answered there.

Welcome to SBN and what they said about the new rider section is where you want to be reading.

To answer your "?",no it's not a good bike to start on.

Get a small bike and stop pissing off the people who have nothing to do but yell at noobs!

To all of those who can't stop flaming...get out and ride and leave the flaming to Racer X!

The CBR600F3 was a terrific bike to learn on for me, but i had prior experience with dirtbikes and too much dirt bike riding on the streets. It all depends on you but it was a good bike.

And learn to use the search button before you post again. nOOb.
