Which Bike?

[dsturbd 10+ year member]

I use to own a 2001 ZX-6R was a great bike, still miss it to this day, currently own a 2005 ZX-6R (636CC) though I would suggest a 650R as a first bike, unless you feel comfortable on a real 600CC bike.

if you will be taking out a loan on the bike, you will have to have full coverage in the state of FLA

Really? link?

I LOVE kawasaki and suzuki.....but look into getting a honda cbr600rr...

what are the determining factors of this decision?

Cant go wrong with any of the 600s. My personal favorite in the gsxr tho.

about half way down, and you need to check with a lender. it will be different with every one of them, but I can guarantee you they will want to cover their @$$

This is typical in every state and with most lenders:fyi:

Like I said, I own a 05 636 and it's an awesome bike, and if you decide to step up later and you don't want a liter bike, but a bike with a little more power, get a Suzuki 750, both awesome bikes.

if anything happens and you don't have insurance, the state will charge you with failure of Florida's financial responsibility law.

if its gonna be for running arrends and shyt get a dual sport. its cheaper on insurance, your not gonna be as worried bout messin it up, its good on pavment or dirt, it gets excellent gas milage, and even if you get like a 400 you can still easily hit 80mph...

It amuses the hell out of me that these bikes only get 50mpg.

If a metro or something along the lines of that can get ~40-50 i would think something weighing a 5th as much could manage a bit better. I know there are many other factors and they obviously are not made with mileage or practicality in mind... but come on.

the metro is the mini car and the moped >100mpg is the mini bike
