Going to buy a bike

Well-known member
In a couple of weeks. I haven't ridden in almost 2 years since I laid my last bike down and scraped my self up royally. I am so excited I can just taste it.

BTW it's going to be a black and silver GSXR 600.:D

Anyone else here like to ride?
 
I don't like Honda's riding stance, it has a sport cruiser ride to it, as opposed to the more aggresive lower riding stance on the gixxer. Plus I think they look way better.
 
its a first bike or a 4 month run of hgh for me...need to pick one
 
We use them as furniture at my house. My roomate doin a wheelie at 4am in the livingroom.

'03 Yamaha R1 here

BOut that time to start riding..

wanna race?



they won't upload for some reason. Get a R1, can't go wrong. I smoke my budies CBR 929rr all day. If you want a 600 go with a r6.

when was the last time you rode a f4i?The stance is almost identicle in aggression my friend.Actually honda's(above 900)have the footpegs further back than any other sport bike.Cruiser:lmao:

I love the R1. Have ridden my friends' in the past and those things are like fine scalpels on the road, corner carvers like a motherfucker with the awesome power of roll on wheelies in 3rd. Too bad it is out of my price range. I will be content in the town I live in with a 600 cause its' a real small town with not very many straights. Plus its real twisty and hilly so I need a nimble bike.
 
I can get you one for way under 9k shipped to your door.
I can get you a great deal on 600's also
 
That's cool that you are going to get the gsxr 600... I'm considering one for my first bike. If I'm not mistaken though I think the Yamaha is a bit faster. Do you guys think the gsxr 600 would be good for a first bike or that I should go w/ something even slower like an older 500 Ninja? My friend has a gsxr1000 and I won't even come near it because I am so inexperienced.

If you approach that think with any hesitation it will hand you your ass. Extremely quirky and sensitive.

Oubeta check your pm.
 
first of all,you won't need anything "faster" than a 600.I'll bet you anything you will never ever throtle a 600 out.
And about the beginner bike question,I learned manual transmition on my bike,very difficult at first with all the power,but I got the hang of it.Just go for the new 600 yamaha,r-1,gsxr,or f4i.All top ofthe line.
 
I thread about bikes and no mention of kawasaki??

In 2000 the zx-6r was 600 of the year.(Which is what I am going to get before summer).

For 2003 the 636 kawi is the most powerful bike you can get.

Bobber, your going to hate the gixxers riding posture on long trips.

For beginner bikes, the 600 race replica bikes are MORE then enough.

The difference between a 600 and 1000 is about a second in the quarter(if that).
 
Semon,
I
t actually has 37 more cc then the rest.

Regular 600 has 599.

The new Kawi has 636.

Acording to dyno charts, the Kawi is the most powerful.
 
I ride a Ducati 916, but not often. It's only got 4k miles.
Used to have a Hayabusa but sold it.

Looking at replcaing the Busa with either the XX or maybe go over to the ducks again and get 749S.

Oh, I have a track only Aprilia 250.
 
If I'm not mistaken the 2000 R6 will smoke the Ninja. I had a zx6 a few years ago, not that inmpessed.
 
I want to get a bike so bad, but our roads here suck and I would only be able to use it 4 months of the year. Maybe in a couple years i will live in a better climate for it, and also at 21 I still have to much of speed fasination, I know i would end up killing myself.
 
They will get you in trouble tht's for sure. I've figured that the R1 can't go slow. I've gotten to the point now if I get one more ticket I have to go to driving school (again). Also check on insurance before you buy. Mine is sky high, probable because of my tickets. Get full coverage because of theift..
 
<-------------------well, you know what I recommend :redhot:


Other than that, the only other bike this year that sparks my interest is the new CBR 600 RR. Looks like it's modeled after the RC211V MotoGP racebike............pretty fuckin' cool looking, check out the undertail exhaust and the size of that swingarm. I think this would be the 600 to have the year................

From the looks of Duhamel up there, obviously the riding stance doesn't look all that comfortable, but what the fuck, I'm 25 and have a strong back, lolololol

I didn't say 1/4 mile I said stop light to stop light. So should I bring the dynamite for your bike or should you? :D

1/4 mile, 1/8 mile, 1/16 mile, doesn't matter, 1 block, 2 blocks, 5 blocks. A heavy ass clunky chopper is not going to out-accerlerate a streamlined, purpose built GSXR-1000.

And definately don't tell me that that chopper is belt or shaft driven, cause then I'll just double over laughing.

Well start doubling. I have over 1800 cc's, 120+ hp, and more torque that your rice burner does. So unless I snap the belt I will be going forward while your wheel is still in the air. Two blocks sound good. :D
 
DId I read that right???
I call a HUGE BULLSHIT

I'll race you on one wheel and smoke you. That is for sure..
 
Just had to read that again to make sure

Curling you have no idea,,,,

I have a powerstroke ford truck that has twice the HP of a R1 I bet it will smoke it. Hey just look at the tourqe and HP difference.


Bro do some research your making youself look pretty dumb.
I'm going to class, but can't wait til I get back..
 
HS lifter,if your talking about 600's,sure 636 would be stronger.I'm just making sure you know their are stronger bikes that 600's out there.

That hyabusa is one ugly shit heap.Fast though.
That rr looks just like my bike.
 
Choppers are cruisers. Crotch Rockets are for performance. i will take my little bitty 600 and run circles around your big bad 1200 in any event all day long.

But I will get a chopper .............when I am old, hair turning grey, and my nut sack is drooping to my knees. Check the stats gramps......your chopper is no match.
 
I really want a HD chopper, but the real ones are just too much money. A harley will cost you 20k or more of a nice one. Don't get me wrong I love Harleys

Well, I guess you really got me there didn't you. BTW the GSXR1000 makes approx. 150 HP, and 77 ft-lb of torque, stock out of the crate. Ohhh, and it weighs about 375 lbs., how much does your 1800 cc cruiser weigh??? hahahaha, thought so. Try crunchin' those numbers, then get back to me with your power to weigh ratio.

And please, belt drive has been proven time and time again to be an inferior way to transmit power over chain and sprockets. I'm sure that thing disturbs bird migratory patterns quite nicely though with the chirping that must come outta that belt drive trying to schlep around that hefty sled.

Go take that 1000 lb. chunk of hopes and dreams elsewhere.

:lmao:

Ohhhh as Gilda Radner would say "ehh nevermind." :D

By the way this ain't no harley it is a bourget with an S&S that is tricked out but I don't got a 150 horseys so you got me GSXR1000 but I don't have to blow up my bike cause I went down last weekend and I might as well have done that because I think it is going to cost a 10k to put her back together. But I bet I am more confortable than you going down the and I definetely look cooler. :D

Hey it's cool, I wasn't trying to make this a macho big swinging dick contest anyway, I just wanted to give credit where credit is due.

I'm more after performance and sleek lines than comfort, although I have ridden an entire day long with only a slight twinge in my back, but I can deal with that.
 
That's cool bro. I still think the bike would surprise you if we ever happen to meet on the street and hit it. And I still think I could take any 600 unless their stats are higher than mine.
 
Horsepower and engine size have nothing to do with speed. It's all about weight and gearing. I had a 2-stroke 250cc Yz that will out run most "rice burners" 0-80 all day. That's like saying a dupt truck is faster that a vette just because it has more HP. It doesn't work that way.

Hmmmm, well, according to your school of thought that would mean that you on your 10-speed would out accerlerate that same aforementioned Vette, simply if the bicycle was geared properly..................I personally would love to see you pedal that fast. (want a PowerBar)

If horsepower has nothing to do with speed then why don't they just stick a tiny little 80cc 2-stroke engine into those 220 mph MotoGP racebikes, save all that weigh in the engine, and just gear them really tall. I think you need to take a couple of courses in physics.

Actually, horsepower has a tremendous bearing on both speed and quickness (although power-to-weight ratio plays an equally important role).

HP does play a role in speed you just can't use it as a deciding factor in what is "faster" weight, gearing etc play just as much a role in how fast a bike will be. I'm just saying just because something has double the HP doesn't mean it is faster..More powerful Yes

Typically speaking, power = torque and speed = HP/weight

Gearing usually reserves 'quickness' an isotope of speed.

Your 1/4 mile bike will have vastly different gearing than your world superbike.

I would go with the XX, and by XX I assume you mean the CBR1100XX. This is one sweet bike. It propably has the highest level of refinement, fit, finish, and reliability of any sport/touring bike sold today. Needless to say i own one and it's simply amazing. The Engine is double counter balanced and the bike struck me as so smooth it might as well be electric.

I know this is one bike you will never be sorry about owning. I ride it like hell and had it up to 170 with room to spare and even my 140lb GF rides it to school from time to time. I also commute to work on it during the summer and would not trade it for anything else.

I've ridden it three times now and it rocks.
A buddy owns one and he swears by it.

It rides smooth, handles well and picks up wicked fast.

I wouldn't recommend it; the XX is the heaviest and oldest of the 3 big bikes out there (Hayabusa, ZX-12, CBR XX)

xx 492
hayabusa 480 lbs.
ZX-12 460 lbs.

The XX is almost unchanged since like 1999.

If I was intent on an open-class sport tourer, I'd make it the ZX-12

The ZX-12 rides thick. I don't know how else to explain it, but thats how it feels to me.

I know what you are saying, but the differences in weight are marginal and they only tell half the story. The XX is a superbly crafted machine and it's weight is distributed really well with a very low center of gravity, so as far as real life ridability goes this is a non issue.
Now as far as the age issue, newer is not always better, the CBR1100xx engine is still the smoothest and most reliable of the 3 bikes, that is a fact. I have experience with all 3 in this class and the CBR XX has the best all around power plant bar none, and i am not talking and throwing opinions from reading articles and comparing specs, but real life use.. Also the cbr is still a 1100cc engine, the other 2 opted for more displacement, that does not make their power plants better, just bigger. I will say it again, anyone that rides the XX will be shocked at the level of refinement in the Engine, NOT A SINGLE VIBRATION, it's really strange at times, you hear the engine so you know it's there, but you could swear the bike is electric.
Honda really did their homework on this bike and got it right the first time, that is why more changes were not necessary from year to year, this bike excells in daily use can run close to 180MPH and runs the 1/4 in low 10's. Add to that owners with close 100,000 miles on their xx's with NO ENGINE problems, and in some cases no Valve adjustements EVER.
I would also like to point out that most poeple get bikes only for bragging rights on what they ride, when in fact 99% of riders, especially of the big 3 will never even scrape pegs on their machines. So it' important to be honest with yourself and get the best bike for you, and not necessarily fastest.

Has anyone ridden the New Gixxer 600?
Click to expand...

Dude,

Kawasaki,honda, and yamaha all came up with new and redesigned machines.(600's)

Suzuki was the only manufacturer out of the "Big 4" to not come out with a new 600, but a brand spanking new gixxer 600 should be in the works for next year.


So if you were in the market for a NEW 600 get a honda, yamaha, or kawi.

Or else wait till next year for a new gixxer 600.

But thats just me.
 
Ok ok.
I found the bike for me.

I went down to get my 916 serviced today and saw the new 620R....

Very sexy. It rode like a freakin' dream too!!

02' RC51 here Harris titanium high mount's and PC3R.

You can't go wrong with any of the 600's these days. IMO they all rock balls!!! Everyone is comming out swinging since the rule changes in Moto GP and WSB.

Actually all the bikes this year are fucken awesome, I can't wait for Moto GP and World Super Bike to start its going to be brutal.

Not a good first bike. Why not get a cheap used bike from the early 90's. Trust me when I say thereare two kinds of riders. "Those that have been down and those that are going down".
