Get a used 600 for cheap if it's your first bike. If you get bored you can make your money back in a year. Google what to look for in a used bike, curved sprocket teeth, swingarm, bent wheels, etc. A little rash on the plastics is no biggie if the frame is straight. And no R titles, not worth it. For $3000-4000 you can find a bike capable of low 11 second quarters and sub 4 second 0-60, yea it's a 600 but you can't tell me thats not fast, especially for a beginner! A used 600 is still the eqivalent of a 1000 hp car!
