Help me choose a bike...
Hey guys I'm looking at some bikes and wanted
to know what wich one is the best of all...
All 2007 bikes
R6 , Cbr600 or the Gsxr600
?
It's my first street bike and just wanna know if anyone
has any experience with these.
I did hop on the R6 and I liked it a lot but I dont know
wich one would be the most reliable after a while.
Thanks

Jump on the biggest baddest bike you can find, get on that ******, full throttle, 15k rpms and learn to ride. 
(thats the most retarded thing you can possibly do BTW)
Find a cheap bike (I would recommend a dual sport or something like that) ride it for a year, learn to ride, once you have riddin that and learn the basics, then buy yourself a bigger bike.
Also, the bike should be only a small part of the cost of your first bike.
Dont be stupid and ride without a helmet/jacket/gloves.

Re: Help me choose a bike...
i ridden both a 05 r6 and a 06 cbr600rr and i was more comfortable on the r6 and it was a lil quicker than the cbr, but the cbr seat was more comfortable than the r6, so my vote is the r6....not sure about the gsxr 600 but all of them are great bikes you will be happy with anyone of them...

Re: Help me choose a bike...
Haha thanks guys, like I said it's my 1st bike but
it's not like I've never ridden one before. I used to ride
my cousins 750 a lot before he sold it.
Anyways I'm probably leaning towards the R6 just for looks,
flat black FTMFW!!! I'll post some ripper vids of 15k rpm drop for junkyard racer

BUY AN OLD 600 AS A FIRST BIKE
just as fun, not as light weight but would be BEST to learn on. because YOU WILL DROP YOUR BIKE and it will cost alot more to fix a new bike then an old one. an old 600 bike takes AT LEAST 6 months to completely learn and be completely confertable with the power.
Let me rephrase "completely bored of the power"
only when you are bored with the power is a time when you should upgrade. because by then you'll be able to handel the bike and know how to ride.. that is of course if your starting from scratch. that's comming from a guy who has well over 10,000 riding miles under his belt. i can't stress enough how FUCKEN STUPID PEOPLE ARE when it comes with new bikes
btw even the old 600cc bikes are LOW! 11's machines. that's like a 350WHP CRX on slicks.
Good stuff over with a new bike compared to an old one:
new bikes by comparism handle slightly better, weight on average is about 45lbs less with the replacement of steel frames with aluminum ones, they also consume slightly less gas due to Fuel Injection, they also have a greater powerband with the better fuel curve with the FI, and 20HP more on average due to FI. also they can be tune for a little bit more as the EFI on most new bikes are conservitive as ----. carberators really do suck... even if you have them tuned right. the only benifit they have over FI is the better throthle response. other then that they FI rocks compared to a CARB. because you'll have alot of trouble with being too rich or too lean. and those are unconrtollable events unless you tune your carb for the area you are in.
Bad stuff over an NEW bike compared to an old one:
they are also more expensive over all by alot. insurance is MORE expensive for the Aluminum frames Bikes. Dropping a new bike will cost more to repair then an old one. Plastic pieces are more expensive due to higher demand. the new bikes have a VASTLY bigger chance of BENDING its aluminum frame. steel frames Seldom bend. getting a new bike Costs way too much money.
also did i mention YOU WILL DROP YOUR BIKE. i thought i was never going to drop my bike. sure enough i drop it the first month i have it.
remember learn to ride before you ride.

Re: Help me choose a bike...
I just got a 2000 SV650. First bike. First bike I've ever ridden(minus the 150cc bikes at the place I took lessons). So far I don't have too many complaints. Some days I wish I had a simple Ninja 250 or a smaller engine Japanese standard, though but I'm pretty sure if I had the Ninja or the standard, most days I would wish I had a 500+cc bike.
