Cheaper than I thoughtThe insurance cost will likely be $4500 - $7000.
My neighbour (26y/o) did the same thing, exactly ('16 S1000RR) last month.
He's paying just shy of 5 large / year.

Is this a joke? lol... Been riding since I was kid, got an SV650 as the first bike here, sold it for a 500cc a year later. Not because it was too much bike, because it wasn't confidence inspiring, there is no way, even now after 4+ years of street experience would I even consider a 1000RR anything, waaay beyond my limits, or any street. As a first bike, its important YOU control the bike, if its the other way around, and the fact that the price is already swaying you, its a bad gamble, just my 2 cents
OP is just like me it sounds like. He likes shiny bikes with lots of plastic that look cool but are actually a major pain in the ass and are terrible street bikes ?Umm you are solely buying the bike because it is a good deal? Think about that for a moment. You have been sitting on your hands with an M2 for 2 years and no motorcycle? Why, and suddenly you want to buy something? Something doesn't add up. You should buy the bike you want to ride and learn on, and feel is right for you, not because it is there.
I got a penis. Albeit small. But I have no intention of getting on a supersport.Some people have the innate skill and coordination to handle a supersport as a first bike.
Others need to work up to it via experience with smaller bikes.
If you have a penis, you will think you are in the first group, even if you really are in the second group.
1.Just give it to me straight. Is this just completely stupid and suicidal ? Completely new rider, have had M2 license few years but no bike experience besides bike course.
Getting my first bike ever and am a brand-new rider. I was going to strictly stay far far away from litre bikes and only go for 600cc. However friend is selling his bmw s1000rr and i can get it at a very good price. This is really the only reason im even considering getting a 1000cc. I know this bike has different settings for speed and you can leave it in rain modes to go slower, but with the higher speeds available most ppl are obviously going to use it if its there a click away... some people say it has lots of safety features.
People with experience, what are your thoughts? (besides insurance issues and discussion pls just stick to my question)
If you feel you need to put me in my place and tear me a new one please do as I need to understand this.
2.What about maintenance on this bike? How much more expensive is it, if it is, vs the japanese bikes like yamaha and kawasaki?

Try riding a supersport for 3 hours on the highway, your body will be pretty beat up. Your legs will cramp and your core will be exhausted or worse, your back will be effed from bad posture. Try riding it around downtown for three hours and you’ll have some sore wrists from starting and stopping so much. Supersports are for going around a track for 20 minutes max as fast as your brain can handle. If you live in the country you can enjoy them on the street but still you’ll probably be in stunt driving territory if you’re doing it right ?
can u point out to me where i stated in my post that i had my m2 for "2 years"?Umm you are solely buying the bike because it is a good deal? Think about that for a moment.

Ok so my mistake, your lack of interest/ or circumstances in getting a bike is worse then I thought it's more then 2 years. Does help you?can u point out to me where i stated in my post that i had my m2 for "2 years"?
Just because you can afford any amount of insurance, doesn't mean that you are insurable.
OP has M2.Just because you can afford any amount of insurance, doesn't mean that you are insurable.
He's as insurable as the rest of us.
