I might come down on price a little, and it's been down before, thats actually the main reason I bought it, it made me feel better, my friend hit a patch of sand in a parking lot, luckily at the time the bike was naked so all it did was brake the lever.

Not everyone as I've known a couple who haven't but a lot of people go down one time or another riding, even the best of them do. Mines was luckily trying to walk the bike on an inclined driveway I turned around to see how much clearance I had with the car behind me and as I turned back around I lost balance and wham the bitch tipped over, wasn't too bad though.

As for a starter bike, I say definitely a used being the high chance of you dropping it one time or another, and anything around a 600 should be fine so long as you respect the bike.

i got a very cheap 01 R6 .. its all black its pretty beat up. runs good though.. needs a new front stay so the fairings will bolt up properly. also it has a salvage title so you would need to go to the dmv so they can set it up to be inspected. oh and did i mention its pretty beat up .. lol. pm me if interested .. 2500 OBO
