Which would you choose?

[firefighter]

Ok don't whine about the choices, just take your pick, which of these, saying theyr'e all worth the same amount of $, would you choose if you could have it for free and ya had to keep it? Oh ya and it's from the 2008 range.....

[Edbear]

Ummmm! Hard choice...:rolleyes:

[jim.cox]

Hard choice

<B> NOT </B>

But I might have had to hesitate for a moment if the new tenere was included

[kiwifruit]

Easy choice :yes:

[Firefight]

Easy choice :yes:




yep, R6, or Honda, no brainer.


F/F

[Dooly]

Triumph of course.
But I would say that.

[Quasievil]

Im sticking to the Kwaka.

[saul]

Easy choice :yes:


+1 even though its a girls bike the Triumph is the one:love:

[McJim]

The one that's not Japanese for me.

[jrandom]

Suzuki - own the muthafuckin racetrack auw!

:rockon:

[sugilite]

I went for the triumph :yes:

[kiwifruit]

I went for the triumph :yes:

You're in fine company :grouphug:

[Mikkel]

Easy...

1. 675
2. ZX6R
3. Whatever...

[NOMIS]

toss up between the r-6 and cbr.

[onearmedbandit]

K8 Gixxer is teh horn. See one in the flesh, yu owe yourself that much.


(This is from someone who for the most part dislikes the look of the latest sportsbikes)

[madandy]

Trumpet for me. :D

[Chickenlegs]

R6 thanks.

[Mikkel]

Spoken like a true poser... Who cares how it handles as long as it looks good eh? :doh: :rolleyes: :no:

:lol:

[Usarka]

who cares what we think! buy the one you like (ah go on)

not sure the 675 should be included...... sure its only 75 more cc, but add another 75 to that and you've got a gsxr750 :yes:

[onearmedbandit]

Spoken like a true poser... Who cares how it handles as long as it looks good eh? :doh: :rolleyes: :no:

:lol:

I looked pretty good when I went past you on the back wheel last week. And when I cut you up through the infield sweeper. And when I was outbraking you into the hairpin. It ain't easy being a poser, but I make it look easy.

[jrandom]

Spoken like a true poser

See the trick is only pick on those that can't do you no harm...

[glice]

cbr or r6. but I'll take any of them if its free :woohoo:

[Owl]

Triumph of course.
But I would say that.

I'm with Dooly!

[98tls]

I am sure there all great bikes but the Trumpet gets my vote.Dead sexy and from what ive read and heard a damn fine motorcycle.

[HornetBoy]

I am sure there all great bikes but the Trumpet gets my vote.Dead sexy and from what ive read and heard a damn fine motorcycle.

+1 to that ,put my vote in for the trumpy :cool:

[Mikkel]

I can't recall you outbraking me into the hairpin... But as for the other stuff, yeah I have to give you that. 6 years of improved technology, 250 ccm and "creative weight savings" ought to give you an edge :p

Next time I won't be carrying that extra weight from that pesky sidestand and things are likely to be different :yes: ...or maybe not, I'd rather err on the better side of caution for a while yet.

As for making it look easy - yes, you do :niceone: (But take a look at that front wheel - straight? I don't think so :no:)


See the trick is only pick on those that can't do you no harm...

No, the trick is to only pick on those that know you mean them no harm ;)

[Aero165]

Yamaha FTW!

[kiwi cowboy]

Spoken like a true poser... Who cares how it handles as long as it looks good eh? :doh: :rolleyes: :no:

:lol:

:Oi:pppfffft if uve seen this guy on a motard [unless im wrong i have]he sure aint no ferkin poser:pinch:

[Rockbuddy]

[mark247]

Triumph for me too..

[saul]

You can join our crew then:first:

[AllanB]

Since its your money... NONE of the above.

I'd spend it on the STREET TRIPLE.

oh yeah.

[sosman]

i would like to give the triumph ago,mean looking bike

[marioc]

The Honda is clearly the best bike in that selection imo

[Mikkel]

:Oi:pppfffft if uve seen this guy on a motard [unless im wrong i have]he sure aint no ferkin poser:pinch:

I think there are the first 15 riders in christchurch who ride with only one hand to draw attention to themselves... Could have been any of them! :yes:

(Note the :lol: smiley at the bottom - I am very much taking the piss out of OAB... ;) )

[MidnightMike]

Have ya seen how the Gixxers OWN the Racetrack?????

Or are ya all blind as well as DUMB????????????? :clap:::yes:

[firefighter]

not sure the 675 should be included...... sure its only 75 more cc, but add another 75 to that and you've got a gsxr750 :yes:

erm, well they always test it with the 600s when they do the comparisons etc.............so maybe it should be in there.

[roy.nz]

GSXR all the way to the bank not even a second thought on that beauty that owns all 600's on the track and road by far. :first:

[nosebleed]

(best Nelson Muntz impression) ha ha...

Firefighter + Poll

[icekiwi]

Think i'll stick with the Kamasaki....:banana:

[motorbyclist]

yamaha all the way...:drool:

even their 125cc looks good

[skidMark]

So hang on you are asking me to tick a box of sumthing ive been uming and aring about since the start of 07? i am kawasaki loyal but the new zx6r is to girly looking for me. the looks do matter. i spose i would have one in black.

but cblack shows scratches swirls etc too easy...arg lol...


nope cant decide sorry. i'm testriding em all then im gunna buy which one suits me best.

the triumph and the gsxr are instatly out though...

triumph nz are useless service...

gsxr nope i cant trust the model of bike all my friends have died on.

so leaves it between zx6r r6 and cbr600.

as much as i love to put down hondas i admit they are quite nice, but hang on doesnt the 08 have the hideous bullnose on it?

hmmm so down to zx6r and r6....

jesus

what a decision.

on looks i say r6, my heart says kawasaki as they are what i have mostly ridden (i've owned 4 kawasaki's) i do love the kawasakis to ride, the 07 r6 i sat on did have a nice riding position too, even to sit on totally different feel to the zx6r....

Nope just can't do it i would have to ride both.

If i could have a zx6r that looked like an 06/07 zx10r then yep zx6r, but the girly looking headlights are a major put off. wahhhh

why did they have to get it wronggg.

[skidMark]

yamaha all the way...:drool:

even their 125cc looks good

mmm nice, the cbr125 looked alright in pictures too, until i saw it brand new at botany honda right next to a used fxr150 suzuki... then noticed the cbr125was only 2/3rd's the width of the fxr150 :blink:

ewwwww

[skidMark]

Dear god men why are you all going for the triumph.

I spose you learn things like how useless they are to deal with when you have worked in the industry,

[skidMark]

Oh fuck this i'm getting an r6

just look at it

:drool: :drool: :drool:

Rofl, that was a quick change.

Its that ridiculously sharp tail that makes it look soooo coool. :scooter:

[firefighter]

its interesting how the voting has actually gone, I watched a field test (video) on all the bikes, and the Honda unanimously came up trumps as the best bike all round, then most votes for second was Triumph, so not unanimous) 4th again just highest votes was the Suzuki, 5th was the R6 then last was the Kwaka, I think yous are all voting on looks!

[Usarka]

or voting on the extra 75cc....

the honda is looking the winner in most of the magazine tests etc, but end of the day any of these bikes are going to be better than most of us so its more a case of get what suits you personally.

or what gets the horn goin :devil2:

[jim.cox]

or what gets the horn goin

Yup - the Trumpet does that for me - and others apparently.

I wonder if these figures will be reflected directly in sales

[smitty]

for me, I don't go for anything with an R in it, have had my fill of Suzuki bikes, my ex had a Yamahaha that kept breaking down, and I have always liked Triumphs - glad to see others vote the Daytona tops.

[EJK]

I'd probably bin it...

I'll stay with a 250 thank you

[Coldrider]

Green Kwacka's have a kick arse reputation to uphold.

[Devil]

Well since only one of those bikes actually does anything in the bottom half of the rev range and is therefore of any use whatsoever on the road. It has to be the Triumph.

[madbikeboy]

Gixer. Easy choice. The 675 is neat, but is it reliable? The Honda is neat, but unthrilling. The R6 works well, on a race track....

[freddy72]

Has to be the ZX 6R

[saul]

its interesting how the voting has actually gone, I think yous are all voting on looks!

Not me I've got one of them girlz bikes:devil2::chase:

[crash harry]

Easy. ZX6R first, R6 second, whatever else if I have to.

Revvy thrash machines FTW

[Mikkel]

Is it just me or aren't the GSX-R 600 just about everywhere?

[firefighter]

Not me I've got one of them girlz bikes:devil2::chase:

yeah but those "girlz" bikes look fkn awesome

[Candle]

defiantly got be the cbr 600rr just got the sex appeal not to mention the opower hell yea and the kawakas look gay go honda :devil2:

[Rogue]

should have put None as an option M8 :jerry:
They are all toys!!!! :crybaby:

[Nightrider]

definatly da triumph

[FkNAmerican]

The truth is that ALL those bikes are amazing choices. You cant really go wrong. The 600 class is just that close these days. Just choose which one tugs your heart the most and you will be happy.

My ride is a 2007 R-6 and I love the thing........

[jimmy 2006]

Is it just me or aren't the GSX-R 600 just about everywhere?.

yea, but is that not because they are the cheapest of the bunch when on sale?
still leaves you with cash to upgrade the pipe to a yoshi ect before you even get close to the trumpy price.

[Bardman]

UMMM R6, then R6 and finally the R6:chase:

[brown13]

gold 675 with all the factory mods or r6.
