Hey guys, looking to purchase my first motorcycle. I've been shopping around for a couple weeks, trying to figure out what would best suit me, and what I would enjoy riding the most. Normally, I would probably try to go for a 250cc, but my boss offered to sell me his 600. He saw me looking at some motorcycle ads on craigslist, and he had mentioned that he was looking to sell his 2001 Kawasaki Ninja zx600-e. It's a little bit scratched up, but mechanically it's apparently pretty sound. Has 13k miles. He offered it to me for $1800, I checked KBB and the selling value was $2400. So it seems like a pretty good deal. Anyways, I don't really see the point in starting on a 250cc, to trade it in next year for a 600cc. That is, if it's feasible to even start on a 600. I'm not looking to impress anyone, and you won't see me going down the highway at 140mph. I've never been on a motorcycle before, but I do know how to drive stick shift, if that's relevant. If I drive responsibly and maturely, is a 600cc too much for a beginner? Thanks for any input guys!
