motorcycle question

[dvrmstrng 5,000+ posts]

instead of buying a new car i think i might pick up a motorcycle for summer and bring my brothers older volvo back here to school because he can't have a car on campus freshman year...so my question is...would it be better to just go ahead and make payments on a brand new bike...im looking at the R6 or a CBR600rr? or to take my time and try to find a nice used bike?

for the audio guys dont worry, my brothers volvo has a CD7000 and xxx in the trunk...woohoo

any suggestions on what to look for besides the obvious if i go used?

thanks

ps...if your interested ill have a Ecslipse AVN7000, Blaupunkt VC660 comps, USAMPT xt 2 channel, Sundown 1500D, and 2 MJ 18 SVC4's for sale if anyone wants dibs haha

yeah this will be my first bike (owning) but not my first time riding

can someone do a quick comparison for me of the CBR600rr, R6, and the Ninja 650r

R6 pwns all...

Btw you will get pwned on any of those bike since it is your first.

Go with the R6, its an overall balanced bike

if i were you i'd say no to a new bike your first time cause odds are i hate to say it you'll prolly lay it down at some point, go used for the first year or 2 and then look new. and trust me you'll need nothing more than a 600

like i said not first time riding, just first time purchasing....

what about a leftover (2007) or used R6....take that over a used or leftover CBR600rr?

R6 pwn

Put a yosh carbon pipe on that bish and she be fly.

your an idiot... r6 has a little top end over a cbr, a cbr will eat an r6 in acceleration. Plus for a first bike i really don't suggest anything more than a 600 but do what you will. Either way your probably gonna wreck it. Its almost un-avoidable nowadays. Especially since your just deciding to buy a street bike and start riding.

cbr is for *****.R6 pwn

listen *** jockey. I dont give a flying fvck what a cbr can do. The R6 is a overall better balanced bike. Period.

CBR and R6 are pretty much similar, except the CBR has faster acceleration, my friend has a 96 CBR with yoshi exhaust and that thing flys, he was doing 185 on the highway.

The 650r has more of sitting up position. Basically, R6 and CBR are supersport, 650r is sport. If you want a kawi supersport, the ZX-6R is the way to go.
