No. But it's a great bike for starters. If you want a fast 600 get an R6 over that bike that handles better than anything has any right to!

r6's are crap, youll be better off with this bike, its alot more reliable, also look into hondas. hondas have the best engine life, r6's are too overpriced for a junk bike!

It depends on what you consider fast. Most guys that own crotch crickets think they are the fastest things on the road. Too bad that is far from the truth. Really the only fast bikes are Busas and new Kawasaki monster.

![]() Have you ever ridden a motorcycle? Have you ever been near one? Are you really telling me that you prefer an FZR600 over an R6?! You now have zero credibility...

Like I said, it depends on what you consider fast. And yes I've owned bikes.

I'm not calling you out on that, I just think the R6 and the other serious 600s are fast! Easily capable of 160 mph out of the crate.
The 1000s (R1, GSX-R1000, etc)? 185. That's fast, man. Only a couple mph slower than the Busa and ZX-14R, thanks to ridiculous regulations... Sure, there are a lot of guys out there who feel like they are untouchable, but by most standards they really are...

I agree with you about top speed. I was refering to acceleration. I used to street race bikes all the time. I'd look for the guys with no helmets because there heads were too big to fit in a helmet. I'd tell them I want to race. I point to whatever Mustang I'd be driving at the time. They would laugh. We would go to the spot. I would take their money and leave. The process repeated itself often. I started telling them to just give me their money and not bother wasting their time racing. That really pissed them off and was always worth a doubling of the money.

Dude, i cant even begin to tell you how many times ive been beat down by really REALLY fast mustangs. Steve Cole whooped my ass one night in his purple 95 mustang GT (TT 337ci). Trent Kendal also killed me numerous times with his turbo fox. I got killed one night by a supercharged notch... (that thing was nasty) and the guy driving had to have weighed 250lb's. I think theres still a few videos on TM.com.

we've had stock literbikes into the nines. im sure they cost less than any four wheeler in the nines. if youve got a nine second street car you got a badass ride that can smoke almost all the crotch rockets.
alot of racing a bike depends on the rider. i used to beat new literbikes on my 97 gsxr 600, just because i could launch. they would wheelie, spin, shift like grandmas, or get headshake and lift. i agree with you darrell alot of riders these days are idiots. but a 6,000 bike in the nines is easier for me to afford than a 20000 drag car. and the bikes gets betta mileage.

my 600 wasnt stock either, lowered 3" all around, cams, p&p, k&n, full yoshi rs-3 race exhaust, 2 up in back, and 1 down in front. it was a pretty nasty 600. people used to judge it alot because it was old.
just made my barganing easier.weve had literbikes, 12r's, and busas just lowered in low tens and 9s in street trim. my buddy was a damn good rider, he was in high nines with a $20 strap some dogbones and still had stock pipes on his busa. quietest nine's i ever seen ![]() alot of the bigger bikes i beat were just non riding idiots. that just bought the biggest bike they could afford and thought it would make up for their lack of riding skillz ![]() btw on the cbrs

I agree that most of the time the riders have little experience drag racing bikes but with a good rider a completley stock (with full warrenty in effect)gixxer 1k will do very low 10s. How many cars driven on the street can do that.I have never seen any car get that kind of time without slicks.I am not talking about at the track, I mean on the street. I have never lost to a car on any of my bikes.

im not a big fan of the r6. its great on the track but its too much work to keep up with other bikes in its class on the street. i still think the r6 is faster but zero low end torque and you have to be around 10grand to hit the power band

Not to poop in your ice cream, but with those comments, i dont think you've ever truly ridden an R6. The last R6 i rode was an 06, and minus the fact that the throttle response was messed up, that bike had a suprisingly healthy low-end torque production. Almost comparible to suzukis GSXR600, and hondas CBR RR. I didnt need to be at 10,000 rpm to sample its power band, it was already IN its power band, and had been since 7,000 rpm. Most 600s dont start really pulling until 7-8,000 rpms.. and normaly have a 4-5000 rpm powerband spread, with redlines in the 14,000-15,000 rpm range. The newer R6s are very competitive with todays leading middle weights, even for street comparisons sake.

I'm a service manager at a motorcycle shop and have road about every bike out there. If I was going to ride a bike in the 600 class an R6 would be my bike of choice. On the other hand the FZR 600 was a good bike in its day now its badly out dated. The FZR 600 will run low 12's to high 11's depending on skill and weight. There still a fun bike to ride I've owned several in the 90's.
