Gsxr 600/750? or a buell? This is for my second bike, i used to have a Kawasaki Ninja 250 09. Time to Upgrade:)

Go the gixxer, just keep in mind how much more powerful than ur 250 it is, take things slowly, and you'll eventually grow into it.

Don't go the hardcore sportsbike route, a Buell is a much better idea.
We have enough narrow minded buggers on this site as it is.

sport bike or muscle bike?
Which image do you prefer?
Mitsi Evo 9 or Chevy Camaro?
Finesse or muscle?
Only you can make that decision... :)

How long have you been riding and when did you get your full?
I would say go for the gixxer, but I'm biased as I want a gixxer 750 as my next bike. :)

K6 or K7 Gixxer 600 would be a great step up for you
no wait.....
definitely a turbocharged ZX14

600 is lacking below 10000 revs and licence threatning above 8000 rpm...

The power is in your hands..... or should I say, your wrist. Be sensible, and ride it cautiously and you can handle it. Just always be mindfull that your playing with more than twice the amount of hp that you're used to.

Not with the k8 600. They gave it some mid-range after losing sales to the CBR600 and 675's.
K8/k9 GSXR600's start making reasonable power at 5000 rpm. (or at least are rideable at 5000 rpm)

13th May 2009, 17:38
I went from a Honda Magna 250 (cruiser style) to a CBR600F and am loving it. Heaps more power but as stated above it's all in the wrist...take it easy and build up the confidence.
I'm still getting used to keeping the revs up. I'm still changing wayyyyy too early. The lights turn green, take off and up to 50kms without changing gear...no probs!

You won't regret it.
The 600 will be a great step up for you.
I've had a K6 750 for two and a half years... I love it. And that's after having owned four GSX-R1000s

13th May 2009, 17:46
My 750 is a beaut, stable and fast enough, But depends on how long you've been riding. Can be lethal in the wrong hands, so take it easy man! Definately go for the 750.

thats what is good about a thou heaps more down low than the 600's.

Ride a few v-twins first. If you still want frantic revs and power in the rev range that riders hardly ever use, buy a sports four.

yes yes. because a standard ZX14 just doesnt have enough power. Hmmmmm
As for the rest. Nothing wrong with jumping on a 600 or 750. Ride it like you want to keep riding it and all will be fine. Young guy down here brought a K8 600 and he spent a while working out how to ride it and now is going real good on it and it is still in top nick.

I'd also agree with getting a higher powered sports bike. Why waste your time with the lower powered non-faired examples? A litre bike, at the very minimum. :cool:
Seriously though, I'd take them all out for a ride and see which you like best. I sometimes wish I had purchased something a little less sports orientated when I'm commuting for my first 'big' bike, but I get over that pretty quickly. I definitely wished I'd taken more out while I was looking, however.

H'mmm or is it bad...too easy to speed...nah its good.....
GSXR600, CBR600, 675's still make enough hp to hold 110kph in top easily... and probably won't chew up tyres and chains while they're at it.

Cops won't bother you and moving slightly faster than the flow of traffic keeps cars from sitting on your tail when travelling on cop and car infested highways.
