NorwayGT · 06-03-2008, 10:40 PM

what do you ride now?

NorwayGT · 06-03-2008, 10:41 PM

this fall an ALL NEW 2009 Yamaha R1 will be put on sale, this winter i will be trading in my 2003 R1 for the new 2009 R1

I have a 2002 R6

But that bitch is gonna be gooooooone so yeah

The ZX6-R is cheaper than the R6 so I might go with that. I like that the GSXR's come with seat cowls though. (Although i'd have to wear flip flops and a wife beater 24/7 if i got a GSXR)

Mr. SRT4 · 06-03-2008, 11:18 PM

it would be between the ninja and the gsxr for me, or a new 600rr...

Adionik · 06-03-2008, 11:45 PM

I don't care much for the new 600 CBR's...the 1000's are decent looking

whats the point of selling your R6 to get another 600? get the 1000

Adionik · 06-04-2008, 12:56 AM

The new R6 is a whole different bike than mine. It's got 30+ horsepower...thats a HUGE difference.

I will try hard to get the R1 though. How is the handling and stuff on them in comparison to a 600?

Probably a little heavier (ie slower not as sharp). Although it'll take a real expert to tell much of a difference.

I would lean towards the ninja, but I'm KawBoy already

so I'm bias.

this is what I ride a daytona 675, mine has the Jardine exhaust and 520 chain conversion with a tooth down in front and 2 up in back. wheelie heaven basically. I am a little biased but the powerband of the triple is amazing

im selling my R1 to get a 600. 1000's are too much for the canyons. whatever you do, dont buy a gxsr. they are the shortest and the heaviest 1000's. i would go honda RR. one of my friends have an 08 R1, that thing is a tank. its soo wide. another one has an 08 ZX6R. for a 600, that thing is quick, but the kawa 1000's are all ugly as hell. if you dont mind spending money, get a 06 R1sp or a ducati 1098s.

KTM Super Duke.

Ducatis are no better then a Honda. Not to mention they need a $400 valve adjustment WAYYY too often.

If you go "Pasta" go with a MV
