thank you bassplayer, im hearing it from both sides buy a smaller one and build up. then others say, get what you think youd be suitable with. i read a few reviews and a majority of them said that if you know how do drive a manual trans car it helps ALOT with driving a manual bike. looks like a good bike though.

You CAN learn on any bike. It's just easier on some than others. As long as you practice samurai like clutch and throttle control, the CBR should be fine, just take it easy.
One thing is to make sure the bike fits you. Sit on it straight up. Can you put your feet on the ground? lean forward. how is the position? too much weight on your arms? are your balls on the tank? etc.
also keep in mind that rockets dont do slow speed turns as steadily as some other styles of bikes, you'll really have to practice.
It sounds like you want a rocket but keep something like mine a ninja 500 or an sv650 in mind too. I've driven 3 different rockets and I still like my ninja better. It's a completely different machine though. I find it way more comfortable, and the power is more useable in town. On the other side tho, it's a twin so it vibrates like a bastard and sounds like a harley. Also it's not as ass rapingly fast as the rockets but still does a 13 in the 1/4 so thats all relative. I'd also like some rearsets.
