Why would you want a 600cc when you're just going to outgrow it in a month or two. A Busa or a ZX14 is the best starter bike because it'll take at least a year or two to outgrow, and by that time you can buy the new one. Or at least get a turbo on a gixxer thou.

Once upon a time when the money flowed a little better than a slow drip, and I didn't treat my credit like a drunken prom date, I tried to haggle a local scooter place on the price of an ItalJet Dragster 180 that was sitting in their tiny showroom. I'll wager dollars to donuts that little monster would get up on a wheel with very little coaxing. But they can still eat shit on a $4K asking price for used product. Don't care how rare they are around these parts, back then it was (and still is) a used 600 or damn close to it.
