so... gsxr 600 is s goood bike for just weekend crusin... i dont wanna pay out the ass

Its not a good beginner bike or a v6 by any means.......you take your busa or R1 and I will take a gixxer 6 or 750 and take you on any track with hard turns...then we will go out and do a wheelie or stoppie .....they are one of the best handling and best balanced bikes ever made.....r1's and busas are great for fast in a straight line but I dont normally go over 100 while doing wheelies and you can get 140-160 out of a gixxer 6 or 750 any day with light to no mods......who needs a bike that can do 200 from the factory? just asking for problems....and they are heavy and dont handle well... I want something fun to ride

It has an agressive style seating... there is definately a difference between a cruiser and a sport bike... If comfort is the first think you are looking for then a sport bike wouldnt be a perfect fit... sit on the bike for a while... test drive... every bike for some reason feels different... but for 2500 thats a steal... ever been dropped?

I personally think the gixxer750 is the perfect bike... especially the newer models (06+) ... Enough power to easily beat a 600 and light enough/powerful enough (with a good driver) to give any 1000cc bike a run for its money...

A 600 is fine....as long as you know your limits and respect the bike.

Dennis · April 2nd, 2009, 03:58 PM

i dont know call me weird but i would like more protection between me and the pavement then fabric lol. nah 7 out of 10 bike wrecks around here are because of idiot kids not paying attention thinking their untouchable dogging in and out of traffic. be carefull out there
