If it’s a first bike, I don’t recommend a Liter bike by any shot… I started with a CBR600F3 as my first bike and it was a great starter “rocket” style. Find something older with a few miles on it that you won’t have to worry too much if you dump it.

Personally, I’ve been out of riding for about 5 years and am looking at older bikes like the one I listed. I would love a new R1, but I don’t have the $8-$10K for a newer one, and I’ve been out of it so long I want something a little less crazy to play with. Thus me looking in the '98-01 range for the CBRs which I have expereince with. I’ll find one in decent condition, spend 2-3 weeks and go through it, have it painted, upgrade a little and have a sweet ride for ~$5K-6K give or take.
