which 600 to buy?

Hey guys, i want to buy a 600 street bike, but im wondering whether price really matters between the companies? ive been looking at honda cbr 600rr's, suzuki gsx-r 600's, yamaha yzf600r, and im not quite sure which one would suit me best, im 5'7 130 lbs.

Is this your first street bike? Do you have any experience?

hhmm. no r6? and no kwak neither? the 600r wouldn't be in the same category as the double r and the gixxer. honestly they both are great high performance bikes, it's more of a matter of preference such as company rep and/or bike styling.

Re: which 600 to buy?

600 is perfect for your size. I have a couple of friends your size. One started on a Ninja 250 and traded it in 4 months later for a gixxer 6. The other went straight into a zx 6r, and is doing just fine.

An older 600 sports bike isn't to bad to start out on. Actually, 2 weeks ago I just bought my first bike. It is a 93 CBR 600 F2, and I love it to death! The intimidation factor (as far as acceleration) isn't bad until you start getting above 7-8k rpms. So I would start out easy on it, and slowly move your way into the powerband as soon as you get more exp. The best advice I can give you is just to not be stupid when driving it, or it WILL bite you in the ass. And, always wear a helmet. I don't care how hot it is outside, your head is worth it. Anyways, good luck on your pursuit. Later
