When you do learn how to ride you need to dodge any spelling bees.

It might not be the best to learn on but if you have practiced on a 250 and felt that it was too small (and slow), try a 600. My friend's first bike is a 03' Yamaha r6. So far he has put over 1000 miles on it, commuting back and forth to work and hasn't had a problem. I have yet to see what he thinks after we ride to Santa Cruz this weekend.

best? no. If you are thinking 600, you are too late to learn the best way. That would be a 50cc dirtbike when you are 13. But if you are all growns up, already, then a 600cc is just as good as any other for learning (except for cost I would suggest a used 250). Lightweight, easy turning, and yet stable in a str8 line. Only downside is full fairings tend to crack when the bike is dropped.

Best type to learn on is the one that fits you best. It has to be low enough you can put both feet flat on the ground at the same time. It has to be light enough you can pick it up if you drop it. So for each person it's a bit different. It also depends how much natural aptitude you have. If you are a quick learner, or are calm and disciplined you can use a bit bigger bike without overwhelming yourself. For some people something very docile is necessary, or they'll lose control and hurt themselves.

Yes, no, and maybe. It all depends on you. If you go out and buy a 250 you will be pissed at everyone who said buy it. The 250 is the best bike to learn on but I sale bikes and I will never sale a 250 to anyone unless they are just tiny. You need to figure out what kinda riding you will be doing (sport bike or cruiser) and find one that fits you (are you short, tall, fat skinny) A sport bike yes 600 has a lot of power and you need to go to myspace and watch some of the crash vids but it is the easiest to get use to. If you are looking at a cruiser I would even say a Honda 750, which is what I sale a lot of my first time riders.
Go with the 600 sport bike or the 750 cruiser, BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT WATCH SOME OF THE CRASHES ON MYSPACE. you will get out there are try the bike out and you will crash, everyone does, some die, some break bones, some lay it down and scrap their knee.
Respect your bike because it will earn your respect one way or another.
good riding please be safe.

Yeah, if your talking about a street bike. It's got way more power than you need, and it's not too big (as far as weight, it'll be a lot easier to pass you driving test). My first bike was a 650, I currently have a 1500, I've been riding for over 20 years.

I would recommend learning on a used (read "cheap") bike, about 250 cc's. The Honda Rebel or something similar is good to learn on. It won't cost a lot, and you can sell it for nearly what you paid for it. It isn't too heavy if you drop it. Motorcycle training classes use this size bike for the course. Take the course, please!
Good luck.

False. The best type of motorcycle to learn how to ride would be a low-to-the-ground, low center of gravity, small engined cruiser. Honda Rebel 250 is a good example of this; the other motorcycle makers make similar motorcycles.
The more powerful the engine, the more likely a newbie is to hurt himself doing something squidly.

I have rode for 35 years or so, I need to know how big the person is and if they have any previous riding experience at all. You dont want to try to ride a bike that is to heavy for you to hold up. If you loose your ballence you can get hurt bad even if you are setting still.

as an absolute novice a 600 is far too powerful, the biggest i would recommend is a 250, they have more than enough power to get you into trouble, as a newbie on a 600 you are begging for trouble.
