Bike Riders Advice Please.. R6 or CBR 600RR

[N/A®]

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.

both bikes will scare the pants off you

i had an r6 they are a little lighter and have a fraction more power

unless that has changed with the current models.

i cant realy compare coz i have never ridden a CBR

but i was more than happy with my R6

The 2004 model R6 looks horn, now has the exhaust under the seat

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.

Make sure you consider the Kawasaki 636 . No offence to Honda or Yamaha owners, but with kawasakis, every element of their build quality is nicer. My 2 c .

R6 seems to be the one everyone hankers for.

The posers take the R1 but the guys who want HANDLING and POWER take the R6.

How much was the R6? im looking into buying a bike also.

[legend01]

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

[legend01]

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

[EnricoPalazzo]

how bout a gsxr750, handling and power.

[Daz]

Definatley have a look @ the gsxr750

[StraightSix]

If you're "not a good rider at all", get a Suzuki SV650S instead! R6 and CBR600RR are practically racebikes with lights and need lots of skill to get the best out of them.

GSXR 750 will own....

[CerealKiller]

GSXR 750 will own....

it "owns" because it's a 750cc. We're talking about 600cc bikes here...

[knore]

lol

just go all out buy a hayabusa 1300 or whatever and kill yourself

rocket with a seat..

[Stirlo_GTR]

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

[JimX]

If you are "not a good rider" then get a 250. Why on earth do you want to start on a 600?

Edit: And by 250, I don't mean a 2 stroke racing 250.

[Dawzey]

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.

[N/A®]

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...
