Decent bike the first time 5k. you can save alot of money buy sticking with 1 plan and making a decision you feel is correct and that you dont regret.
Everyone gives me shit for buying a new bike. But i wanted something flashy, not beat on, never downed, and top quality. so i bought a brand new bike. using common sense and easing it to it, i probably wont down it at all. And i will most likely never grow out of a 08 cbr 600 it will be more than enough.
