I think this shouldn't be a thread here at all.

That being said, I'd strongly advise picking a different bike.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

just to make it clear this wasnt a real question i had, i just wanted to make a strong impact on Frankyarsenau. i read his question and immediately decided he should not be on a gixxer.

Maybe y should not buy a big bike like this.
What would you guys think of a Honda CBR 600RR3 2003?

I would not want to drop that much money on a first bike. This is the one you will be learning/experimenting on. It most likely will cuddle with the pavement.

Unlike cars, bikes dont lose their value. So in a season or two you could probably sell it to close to what you paid for it.

Also, sounds like your shopping for a bike at a dealer or shop, try craigslist. You can get a much better deal from a private sale.

Dude...no. Really. Unless you're in a hurry to be an organ donor. While it's "possible" to not kill yourself on a bike that's not suited for a noob, the "probability" is much much higher that the mistakes you're bound to make will make you wish you'd started out on a smaller bike :frusty:

Sorry dude. Most of the time I try to be polite. But the very nature of your question makes it seem as though you have very limited knowledge of bikes in the first place.

As your first car, I would not recommend Jeff Gordon's NASCAR dealy. So I can't reccomend the incredibly powerful mini v-2 rocket you're contemplating
