New K5 GSX-R600

[WickedOne]

Not bad for RRP $16,295

[SimJen]

Yeah good price, hopefully it will do well in international racing...

[Sniper]

I have gone back on my word that GSX-R's are not nice peices of machinery (I used to use stronger words) and I would sell my small toe for one of those.

Just saw a couple of matt black GSXR600K? (whatever is latest). Full horn. Aaron is lucky boy :)

[Cajun]

personally i don't like the new k6, i loved the look of 600/750s since the early srad days, but the 06 just doesn't do it for me.

[Buster]

I think thats the best shape yet. Im liking all the sharp angles and styling. Im not too keen on the paint although I usually like the blue & white. Black would be cool though. Good price too.

how dare you insult my bike by calling that ugly POS a K5.... it's a K6....

:laugh:

So you don't like the K6 then and wouldn't consider upgrading at some stage if you could?

I think it's a real nice piece of kit and it's supposed to go like hell as well.
It's getting rave reviews everywhere.

Another question: if money was no object, would you trade up to K6 1000?
Or do you like your bike and find it has enough power for you personally??

Just interested as I have read a lot of reviews on the GSXR1000, 750 and 600 K6 models and most reckon you can use the full potential of the 600 on the road, but not the 1000. many say the 750 is a bit to hard for the road and more a track bike.

Comments please. :)

looks mint in the blue... *jizz*

[imdying]

It's awesome, matt black is sex :) Bit to wide in the arse for me though :/ The exhaust is super cool... sooo much better in the flesh than the pictures.

beyond - personally i wouldn't upgrade if i had the opinion. Motor is good on the 06 but styling just does nothing for me. I mean few more hp over 05 few tweaks but thats comes with each new model.

Money no opintion would i upgrade to 06 1k, no i don't really like look of it, simlar styled to the 06 600/750.

actually I had considered going for a K6 1000.... but no way in hell would I get the K6 600/750.... they are fugly... Had a sit on a 1000 today, size felt nice, going to take one for a test ride... but im not going to upgrade until I can kick your ass on coro :soon:

Is that me? Was in at Sportzone today to have a look at it, and well all I can say is, it's the fucking shit!!

Had a sit, very comfortable, and the sound, OMG!!!

Cannot wait till Wednesday when I can (hopefully) ride it :woohoo:

[imdying]

Yes that's you you lucky thing :) Very happy for ya :D

[kickingzebra]

I'd upgrade quick as a flash... Specially if they came out in race rep colours, I like the exhaust, not so hot on the flat everything. There is no such thing as a pinnacle in design, because the damn things grow on people. Design is organic and always moving, so chances are in a few years we'll look at the k6 and go, hmm, cool...

Thats what i fugure. Id have the 750 tho, but can't get it here... 600 is quick, but gotta wring its neck to do wheelies ;p

saw one today at uni, mutter grumble bloody rich immigints marmoot fishing

and it was smaller than me 400 ffs, one thing I noticed is rather than all the fairing on the R6 it had quite minimal lower fairing and alot of engine exposed looked good just not afraid to let it hang out, would have the dirty pillion pegs off pretty quick though

oh and do pilot powers normally come with the words " michelian radial pilot powers" in garish gold on the tire or was that an owners mod?

I love you sarge... Unfortunately the question was if money wasn't an object.
Well, It isn't an object, at least not an object I have spare lumps of lying around at the moment!!
If it ain't sold in 6 months, maybe I'll look you up....
...Walks away with sad faced of crushed dreams...

[imdying]

Well having seen both... the new R6 is nicer looking overall... except for the exhaust. The exhaust on the gsxr is great... really goes well with the whole matt black thing. I'd own either of them if I wanted a four.

it tooks me about 2hours to paint the Michllien pilot power to Gold,God that's a hard work. That bike sounds so so so great, feel much better than my old k4 600.
