Shit a 600 rips....I know a R6 does about 180-190 redlining.
an r6 doing 180? bwaaaahaha, you sir have the quote of the week. im guessing either you or your buddy has done it? and with a speedohealer also right? and r6 with a speedohealer would be lucky to hit 160 with some minor mods

 
In that case.....Rock on man, get out there and ride:cool: I've got friends around here that want to get into riding, and they just go about it all wrong. I'm sick of seeing people end up dead because they hop on something that they think is "only a 600" and having no respect for how much power is really there. Over 100hp in something that weighs under 500 lbs with you on it is going to ****ing move. Most people just don't understand that.
Tommy, serously check out a sv650. Go sit on one and tell me you don't get a big shit eating grin on your face. They're fun as hell to ride too.
See, i just don't like the looks of it. I like that sport bike look. Sure it seems a bit stupid, but if I don't like the way something looks i'm sure as hell not gonna spend my hard earned money on it.

Probably a good bike for the money, but I like the looks of the katana or regular gsxr.

Oh God those katanas are UUUUUGGGGGLLLLYYYYYY. I really hate those. And they ride like a fat pig;) They just handle so terribly.

Maybe a gs500f? Or you can get full fairings for an sv you know. I just think the sv is one of the best starter bikes with how it handles, and how much power is there, especially for someone wanting something they won't outgrow in a couple months. But I do agree that they look kinda awkward without and fairings. But, remember, if it's your first bike, you're most likely going to lay it down at some point soon after getting it, and plastics are freaking salty to replace. Anyhow, just my .02.

Probably going to get a used bike anyways. New, even in the $5000-6000 range, is just out of my price range. I'd rather have something that I can pay off in one shot rather than making monthly payments again like my ATV. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

And yes, the katana is a big, ugly-ish bike, but I like the LOOKS of it more.

If you can get full fairings for the sv650, then it might not look so bad.

Once again, the gs500f is just not good looking. Better than the sv650 though.

EDIT:

zx650F with the fairings. Not bad at all actually!

 
Yeah, those sv650 f or s editions (the full faired ones) are nice bikes. Look even better in person;)

Another thing to maybe give a look is the kawi zzr600. It'd be a little more bike than the sv650's, though.

 
why i don't want a bike...

saw this guy die in front of me not more than two months ago. someone got rear-ended in the turning lane and got pushed out into our lane. i was right behind him cruising at 55mph and he didn't have a second to even tap the brakes. hit the f150 full speed in the front right quarter panel launching him like 15ft in the air. that's my truck in the second pic, i had to slam on the brakes to keep from running over his bike. he was in the ditch 15 feet away...

it doesn't matter how good a driver you are on a bike, there are many many bad drivers out there that cause accidents. i'll take a boxed in steel frame, seat belt and air bag thanks!

That is kinda stupid though. That is like me saying well this is why I don't want to have a car:
