the dealer will sell you any bike you want, the more the bike is worth the bigger check they get. i still think the 600 is an awsome bike, the RR,GSXR,R6 or ZX6r pretty much all get awsome reviews, but ultimately it is your decision. just remember DUCATI parts & fearings cost twice as much to replace after you down it for the first time. not trying to turn you off, just being real. i had my 600RR for 3 years & i loved it, that bike is pleanty fast & will dip into turns just as well as any other. your 16 years old you got pleanty of riding years ahead of you, no need to go jump on the baddest bike that turns you on the most just yet.RIDE SAFE
