Yamaha R6 or Suzuki GSX-R 600

Stan · 07-16-2007, 07:39 PM

considering getting another bike because 2 of my friends just bought bikes and want me to ride with them.. they both got gixxers but I'm liking the R6's what do you guys think does anyone know or have any personal exsperience with any of them..

PureStang · 07-16-2007, 07:44 PM

depends on what year gsx r. i like the 2001+ gsxr and all models of the r6. i'd like to get a bike now but with me going to school next month, i wont be riding much, but next summer i should have one. plus, i wanna get myself a supercharger in the next 6 months.

Stan · 07-16-2007, 07:54 PM

^^ Ya, I want to get something 05+ black and grey, blue and white or black and red

gixxer
dont waste your time with a yamaha (piano)

PureStang · 07-16-2007, 09:32 PM

gixxer's are cheaper to replace parts on, and cheaper on insurance. when i was getting quotes locally here, it was like a $20-$30 difference between suzuki, honda, yamaha. i think that i would get the gsxr only for that reason. i personally like the 2003 cbr954rr. nice lil 600cc chassis with a nice big liter bike engine. lol.

but i will probably end up getting an 05+ honda cbr600rr

Not to mess up your thread man, but what does everyone think of of buell bikes? I've been considering getting a bike within the next 3-4 months. I need to take the rider course to learn to ride and I was checking out bikes and buells look pretty damn sweet...

im not a fan of buell bikes. i dont like how the look or sound. if i were to go with a v-twin, the only option for me would be the honda RVT1000 RC51. sick bike and a half there

01GTBlown · 07-17-2007, 10:09 AM

+1 for not likeing the Buell looks.

*4.6 Love* · 07-17-2007, 10:15 AM

Well, I like how they look and they are much less common. Have yall look at the new xb12r! What's not to like about that bike?

Stan · 07-17-2007, 03:36 PM

my neighbor had a all black buelle I liked it a lot and it sounded badass to me + there made by Harley but I rather get a sportier looking bike so im going to go with the GSX-R

I'm not one to piss in anyone's cheerios or doubt a riders skill but if your a new rider I'd highly suggest lurking around http://www.sportbikes.ws/index.php for a while. Great place for info and tips for beginners.

mcmmotorsports · 07-19-2007, 04:07 AM

R6 Hands Down.

nope. your not pissing anyone off by telling them how to learn something. lol. i actually highly suggest that every rider take the Motorcycle Safety Course at their local DMV. i think it should be required but its not.
