Ok, I know these questions have been asked 3 million times but anyway...

A moped was the closest thing to a motorcycle ive rode so I took the MSF class and am glad I did. I did well and feel comfortable riding.

I've been trying to find a beginner bike like an older gs500. But I've been looking without much luck and I cant wait much longer! I came across a 94 Yamaha fzr600 for around 2k. But I know its a sportbike and has some decent horsepower but not as much as the newer ones.

I was wondering if you guys think this would be too much power?

Yes. Grab it if it runs fine. $600 is a decent price.
