I am talking the R6's up to the Hyabusa's.

I am after buying a bike for the first time, and I have opted for a 600, probably an R6 as, strangely enough, it's cheapest to insure

So, who rides what, how often do you use it in anger, and lets see some pictures of them

I am selling my k3 gsxr6 if your interested its in the for sale section on here

Wouldnt get an R6 as first bike mate, i'd personally go for a gixer 600 or a cbr 600rr!

Check alps out seen it for sale on here, nice bike!

Graceland

I've got a gsxr600 for my first machine..............and Its also for sale if you are interested. PM me for details

Phil79

You know what, all my mates said get a gixxer, all the shops said not too

I fit the R6 perfect, am only 5ft 10 and 9.5 stone, so it will fly with me on, lol.

Thing is, for my first bike, I dont want to buy a minter, cause you just KNOW am going to drop it on it's side at some point, lol

i'm running a little 400 at the mo and it's ace

you can rag the arse off it and not do silly speeds redlines at 14,500rpm
tops out bout 142 on the clock
dont rule the 400's out mate.
and insurance is only 122.00 a year

but an r6 is not an ideal first bike mate, a bit too focused.
have you had a test ride on any?
the gizzer 6 is a loverly stable bike.

keeping the 400 till end of this month then l will be looking at a tlr/mille

Thats because they know what there on about! Fuck the shop lol!

An R6 will fly if you were 15 stone and 6ft 2" if your head is tucked in![/b]

My neighbours got a big mean black triumph 955 i think it says on it - im not a biker tho but it looks good.

Clanger

I've got an 04 plate R6, passed my test last april, went next day and got the R6 it was also cheapest of all 600 sportsbikes for me to insure

Fantastic bike, absolutely love it

Me and a mate just got a cbr 600 trackbike too

I'm thinkin of sellin to get a Triumph 675, so if you're interested in my R6 let me know and I'll send you the details

Graceland

Fuck the shop, buy my Gixxer - sensibly priced, excellent condition and comes with goodies aswell

Alps Pacino

Graceland

You aint fucking me at all sonny

Shops will more often than not say what ever they think will help a sale regardless, and will always try and persuade you to go for the bike with the most profit in it.

I have a 55 plate Gixer 600 and i cant fault it at all. The gixers are generally seen as the better bike from overall, which is backed up by all the mags and tests etc. Having said that, you'll not really notice much difference between the lot of the 600's at this stage.

S1rst

Both those gixers above look very nice bikes, so it just depends what your budget is. I will say though, the newer K series bikes, especially the K4 and upwards ride much better than the older ones and its worth the extra money if you have it, in my opinion. Thats not to say the older ones are bad as there FAR from it, but i think you do get what you pay for.
