is there really that big of a performance difference between the r6 and other 600cc bikes?
i mean im sure there is, but why is that? id think that 600cc bikes would be on par with one another, or close...

What the hell? heck no Yami's r weak

ok well what you consider a good/great 600cc bike compared to one that is considered a learner bike?

yamaha yzf 600r? its a sport touring bike, but looks like a rocket, and is really comfortable and easy to handle.

if you wanted to step up I would get nothing less than a gsxr 750. the gsxr's are by far the best sport bikes ive been on. great throttle control, handling, and overall power. very smooth bike imo

We've had snow/ice covered streets here for weeks, but we have a streak of 40+ degree days comin. Can't wait to get some riding time in.

I dont know if I would call a r6 a touring bike.

R6 and a YZF 600 are two diff. bikes

All i can really say is GIXXERR PWRRRRRRRR!!!!

Just got a K7 gsx-r600 and its more power than a begginer really needs, and so is the R6. Look into the new 08 Ninja 250's much less forgiving WHEN you fall.

I didn't read this whole thread, but all i can say is start small. get a Suzuki SV 600, Yammi FZR 600, or Kawi ZZR 600. if you're dying to have the supersport look, go with a R6s. you seem to have the right idea, but if you have to have a big boy.... get a gixxer 1000 and sell me the good parts when you crash //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

also, anyone who says a modern 600cc sportbike is slow doesn't know how to ride it.

if you're getting a 250 or 500, buy it used. you will probably be able to sell it for what you paid, even if you drop it.

ahh the FZ6 not the R6, that makes sense.

Anywho a new bike for you first bike seems like a bad idea, don't spend over 2k for something that is going to be "learned on"

 

[speedfreak28 10+ year member]

do yourself a favor and start with a 600, just take it easy at first, trust me you'll get tired of the 600 quick, its like an addiction. i had my zx6r for less than a yr and bought a gsxr750. if ur gonna spend the money on something new, get a 600

 

[04_edge 10+ year member]

i dont know if im gonna buy new or not now..i dont wanna buy some used bike that looks like crap even if it is to practice on...which is why im leaning to the ninja, its only 3500 bux, and id think id be able to get enough back out of it for a down payment on a better bike once i get the hang of things...

i dunno what to do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
