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...

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
