If you gotta have a crotch rocket... the R6 is badass... If you want crotch rocket speed and touring comfort... FZ6.

no 1k for me. I rode an r1 and the throttle is wayyy to touchy. pretty terrifying bikes. I want a bike i can have more fun on.
05-08 CBR600rr is what I'm lookin at. they look better than any other 600 in its class, IMO.
undertail exhaust is hawtness!

What happened to wanting to get a muscle cruiser and moving to FL?
I have been checking out Victory bikes since I talked to you and it seems you can get a good bit over 100rwhp with just some bolt on's with their 106ci motor. That's kinda awesome for a cruiser, plus then you can still add cams and high compression pistons. Kinda makes me want to get one now.

Yeah I know what you mean even a 2003 Victory hammer with the big motor and 6 speed is gonna be $7k that sucks.

i am very particular to the newer GSXR 750. i have ridden 2 and you really cant go wrong. i have ridden my fair share of bikes from 250r ninjas to ducati's (yes, i have ridden a 998). while the 600's are nice for what your looking for, you really should look into a 750 gsxr, or even the kawi zx-7r. it is certainly what i would want.
its got more of a low end but not nearly enough to lift the tires in almost every gear like a liter bike.
if i ever have the heart to sell teh stang...a 750 and a 3/4 ton truck are very very high on the list.

i actually wanna get a truck....something like a 2500 quadcab short bed...the bike would satisfy my need for speed. lol. probably never happen though...id miss the stang too much.....
Fishy...i cant get over the headlights of the new style gsxr's. from about 04-07 i liked the headlights. i found the r6's i rode to be extremely uncomfortable...the seat is up extrmely high and the handle bars are extremely low. for a sportbike, the gsxr's are pretty comfortable, and sit pretty low
