If you get a 600 you're just going to want to get a 1000, so don't do that then have to worry about upgrading to a bigger bike, either go with the bigger one or don't do it, IMO. I went from no bike, Sold my '97 Cobra with 48k miles to my parents and got the ZX-12. Bikes are nice, but dangerous and it's hard not to act stupid on them. Plus many drivers don't pay attention, so I honestly would never get another bike, no matter how much I wanted to. I always consider 1k car = 10k bike, because of peoples habits when driving, then tires are expensive and don't last long, they start smoking easy, and before you know it you need a top end rebuild. Don't do it, take it from an experienced person.
I said no to the guy and now hes trying to pay me cash when he sales it. Thanks for the advice, my last bike was an 08 gsxr600 so im ok with a 600 and not a liter bike..., i think liter bikes are to fast to be on the street(useless!) thats my opinion!

Just know what you want for your car if you're going to sell it. I personally don't like 600's, but with all the idiots that don't pay attention while driving I'd never drive another bike on the street anyways.
