my 1st bike was a 2003 R6. paid $370 for insurance a year and im 27. loved it man. but be careful, u hafta slowly get use to its power. 1st gear wheelie will happen on accident. u cant go wrong with a honda cbr or suzuki gixxer. just stay with a 600cc and swap out the stock pipe for a louder one so peeps can hear u in there blind spots
