Can anyone recommend or give some advice. Looking at the current 2003 Yamaha R6 or 2003 Honda CBR 600RR.

Does anyone ride these here and also whats your opinions. Just want something for fun. Not a good rider at all, so something easy to control and handle.

Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for the reply,

I looked at the 2001 R6 & 2003 R6 Today. The newest model has a slightly smaller looking frame and additions like digital tacho with Shift light. Then i saw the new 600RR. That looks just as crazy.

ridden both R6 still get the wobblies without a steering damper and bit skitich but fun cbr lot more stable i recon and just as much fun but depends on your riding skills what u preffer more experinced r6 if not cbr

if you want a good buy guide have a look at wreackers you will find a the most common droped bikes are gsx600rs the r6's and the honda and kawaski's not as many first two mostly power second to more rider friendly my 2 c worth

and why bother with a 600??? just buy a 750.. yes it owns cause its 750.. so buy a 750.. you'll only wanna upgrade later.. save the dosh buy it now.. 600cc is the most expencive rego bracket, 750's are much cheeper, the bikes cost the same upfront... just my op anyway!

iknow i will get burnt for this but i have been riding for as long as i remember and the bike that i loved the most was an RS250, now these are a 2 stroke race bike with lights. they are only about $10K new and they are hot as hell. i would not ride one for a long period of time and would never think about it as my main form of transport but they are ahell of alot of fun to ride and it sounds like that is what u want. the skill level is higher to rides these but learn to ride one and you wil love it, hmmmmm track days..

oh yeh

R6`s and R1`s are hot as well and are designed for longer riding, the RS`s are a born race bike and they feel it when on the road, that would be one of the quickest bikes to ride on the road. but if ou are just in for looks and a great all round bike go for the 2004 R6 the are sex on wheels(only 2) and when they want to they will take off like a rocket.

anyway that is what i think, just to give you some more ideas.

I just want a nice looking bike to ride when i feel like it. Thats all. Like the look of the R6 and New CBR600RR. Anything next is just too big for me. 250 is too small.

Both bikes looks really nice though...

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
