Street Bikes

[Hawgin4x4]

So im new to the whole steet bike thing..Im looking to get my first bike..i going to go with a 600..So im debating on either the gsxr 600 or the cbr600rr..I have sat on the zx6r and r6..i really dont like the feel of them so im stuck on either the gsxr or cbr....Anyone got any helpful info..

[mud.junkie]

They are both really nice bikes.My wife rides a honda F4 600 and she loves it,It is to much bike for her alot of our friends that we ride with have the 600 class bikes. The consensus from the people we ride with is honda's rule. Although, I personally prefer Kawi's as i have a 1978 Z1R turbo and looking to buy a ZX 14.
Hope this helps a little

[Hawgin4x4]

the zx14, is a tank...lol...I guess i need to find someone to let me ride a gsxr and a cbr..to find out witch 1 i like..

im not sure you need a superbike for your first street bike. we had a FZ6 and it was plenty fast for a first streetbike. however if you do get the superbike, the suzuki is better unless you are getting a 07. the brand new cbr600s are bad. id get a honda cause im a honda person but i thnk the gsxr if faster and better handling.

[Hawgin4x4]

i dont care about speed..I feel just as equal comfortable on either the cbr or gsxr..

I just purchased a GSXR and I love it. I'm a big Yamaha Fan. You need to sit on them both and see which one feels best. I think I would go with the Suzuki.

[Hawgin4x4]

I have sat on both the cbr and gsxr...I like them both...Arggggggg..i didnt think it would be this hard.. Right now there is a good deal on a left over 06 cbr, with a pipe at the Honda dealership...

[1FasterBlaster]

   I would suggest the Honda.I think a GSXR is a little lighter in the front which is dangerous for an inexperienced rider.

[Hawgin4x4]

Thats what ive heard also..

[z400stunter]

Honestly I'd go with a sv650 or something like that as a first bike.  If you're set on the supersport 600's go with the gsxr.  I'm just a little biased......  here's my 750

[Fox17]

do those pipes come that small for the 600 and 750 models? if so how loud are they.

[Hawgin4x4]

your 750 looks sweet!!

[T2]

your 750 looks sweet!!
[/quoteThats what I was thinking

[z400stunter]

Yea the pipes are short on the 06's. I'll see if I can find a pic with the stock can.  Thanks guys.  Since this pic I put crg shorty levers and smoked windscreen and front signals (in the mirrors)

[z400stunter]

 Here's an 06 600.  Same stock pipe as mine.  And the second pic is of my new levers

[Fox17]

dang. i bet that sounds great. and loud too. there aint nothin that sounds as good as a superbike.

[Hawgin4x4]

so when can i ride it?  PPPPLLLEEEAASSSSEEEE!

[z400stunter]

Here's what it's like.  Testing out the camera a while ago.  I have another, better vdeo if anyone knows a website to host large vids.  It has sound too.

[Hawgin4x4]

only if you had sound..nice vid though... try youtube.com for the larger video.

[z400stunter]

Try this one http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2910918845709749266

[Hawgin4x4]

the sound in that video is all distorted..But you can make out the bike..SOunds good!

[Fox17]

that thing is extremely quick. 90-150 in just like 5 secs. traffic sucks dont it.

[z400stunter]

"That guy" didnt even take it to redline so it's even faster than it looked there.  6.73 @ 115 in the 1/8 mile.  Most people get outta the way when they see a bike come up quick behind them.  That day was just a little more clogged than usual.   That was only a digital camera.  I have a digital video camero now and tomorrow off.........  Should I tape a ride if it's nice out?  I have a bunch of pics if you wanna see more. 

[Fox17]

i say you tape a 1/4 mile run. 

[z400stunter]

No 1/4 mile around here.  I might go to the 1/8 mile track on Friday though.

my dad and his girlfriend both ride busa's even thought it's a big bike, my dad said it's the most comfortable sport bike to ride for him, he had a FZ1, FJR 1300 and he even rides a custom roadstar but loves the busa with iit's comfort and on demand power

[z400stunter]

The busa is a BIG bike.  You can make tons of power with them too.  I love leaning mine over.  It's way too hard with a busa or say a zx14.  I think the 750 is a nice blend of power and lightweight.

[Hawgin4x4]

Z400 tape it mayne....the bike prices over here are kinda high i think.. how are prices in Naples?

[snowmanzz13]

well, depending on your riding style, like how far you can lean, but my dad says he has leaned his over pretty good, i'll get a pic of the rear tire so you can see how little the chicken stripe is, lol but my dad has his pulling 152hp, and the speed on the dyno for that pull was 197mph, so ytou can say it has some power, lol, i think the only thing done is pipe and computer, i think thats it along with chrome

[z400stunter]

Naples only has one dealer and it's overpriced.  I used to work there so I got my ltr and gsxr for good prices.

[Hawgin4x4]

well i rode my buddys gsxr and my other buddys cbr both 600s..i have to agree they are alot of bike..

i have been thinking about the sv 650 or the zzr 600...im leaning more towards the zzr..

i go may 5th and 6th to take the motorcycle class... im pretty excited.

Any input on either bike will be greatly appreciated.

[PLEDGER#76]
