As a previous owner of a fuel injected 2002 I probably would not recommend it as a first bike. Even its smaller brother 599 would probably not be ideal. Good bike though. Considered a parts bike but better than the sum of it's parts imo. I had upgraded the front end with F4i forks and modified the rearsets and had sato titanium slip-on cans with a pc3. The bike is a bit under 600cc hp with more torque and no wind protection. Figure running low 11's with it. Again...great bike and I sometimes regret selling it but for a new rider it might make you shit your pants and meet Jesus. I didn't find the throttle too touchy but I also owned a literbike so the bike was a bit underwhelming as far as power. I did beat some 600's with it but a newer one with a good rider would show me his taillight.
