I probably will, so new to all this and need so many advices Even if I stay with what I wanted, I will still need advices on how to drive it safe

I did give up of the faster bikes I was looking, however, I realy am into: 750 SS Supersport, but from 1994, so its an old bike, still, you would probably say it is too fast? :/

look at the lap times... an "old" 750 is probably no more than a second off the CURRENT 750's... so yeah... it's FUCKING FAST... it's just not as light... and doesn't have all the "hip" technology bits.

I'd say go with =<600 end of story... (unless its the SV650) it'll be fast enough for ya... shit it'll still do sub 4 second 0-60 times... and have a top speed of over 140mph...

DO NOT BUY on looks... or how much you love the bike... that's a recipe that'll get you and your bank account hurt.

Trust me... the only view that matters is from the seat through your helmet visor... and ANY bike is gonna look good from that angle.

I remember hearing something a while back that stuck with me...

If you start with a big bike you have to learn how to restrict yourself but if you start on a smaller bike you learn how to push yourself.

Maybe I am not saying it in the best wording but I hope you still get the idea. Always seemed like good advice to me.

Welcome to the site and welcome to the sport!!!

I can tell you this much, it keeps a man from growing old. Well, my body grows old because you cannot beat mother nature and father time, but my spirit and my mind are forever YOUNG!!!
