I was wondering what some of the more experienced riders thought about this. I have been riding motocross for a long time on some pretty powerful bikes, of course long time is relative, Im talking about around 5 years now. Anyway I always wanted a sportbike and am looking into purchasing one. Ive ridden a dualsport on the street that my friend owns numerous times, and ive ridden a classic style standard bike a few times on the street and neither really is what I want. Hence why I want a sportbike. The question is, how do you guys feel about having a GSXR 600 being someones first bike, given that they have a lot of experience riding on dirt and doing some really difficult off road riding / motocross racing? I think it would be an easy switch but what do you guys think?
