I got it down to $7,760 out the door. Before I pull the trigger. Is this bike a good starter bike?

Just depends...

I got my 6R 2 years ago and it's all payed off now.... my ass still hurt! $9500 OTD. They cream me with all the blower and wisle they had. My bad... I wish I search a bit more and consult great people like on this forum.

Yeah, research is always good, even with cars.

When I started checking for my Street Triple, they were asking 12k OTD. I got mine few weeks ago for 10100 with free accessories . A 2k diference, almost.

They key is, buy without a rush and research!

Definitely, it is my first bike and have zero regrets. It's very beginner friendly with lots of room to grow. You won't be disappointed.

Looked at the Street Triple before FZ6R, got quote of $9,300 otd on the Street Triple plus extras. Just afraid of Triumphs.

Yer not alone sir. I paid around that much, too.

Is this your 1st bike? Did you take the MSF course? and no offense, but how old are you.

I usually recommend Ninja 250cc or similar as 1st bike. The Yamaha may be a good starter bike as long as you respect the power and take a MSF course. But statistics say most people drop their 1st bike.

If you can afford a repair in case you drop the bike and/or don't care about buy new, go for it. Just remember, bikes are not toys.

I took the MSF course about a month ago. I am 25 years old. I tried the 250 out and since I have travel so far for work that is when the sales guy told me about this and the Ninja 650. I tried looking for something use. but for the last few months all I could find is used 1000 CC supers and a few 600 rockets.

Beginner bike, No... Easier bike to learn how to ride, then a super-sport, yes. The 6R is a lot more forgiving if you make a mistake then a super-sport etc... But don't underestimate this little machine... This thing can handle it's own. Top speed of 130+ mph with a 1/4 mile around 12.2 is respectable... If you have experience with how a clutch/throttle works etc.. Along with a good head on your shoulders the 6R would be a good first bike.

$9300 OTD is too expensive. B4 the Japan earthquake in 2011, u could get a brand new R6 for that price here in LA...

U probably don't need the warranty unless u plan to keep the bike a long time. Most of us upgrade after a few years. So, see how much it is without the YES and then re-evaluate...
