1990 Honda CBR600. Great bike, extremely comfortable for a sportbike. Not the quickest out there (tops out at around 140mph), but definitely quick enough for a first bike. Another plus is that this bike, while being 15 years old, does not look like your typical 15 year old motorcycle. Looks are very up to date, and bike has great lines. I would definitely suggest it for anyone looking for an affordable, quick beginner's bike.
