    ZX-7R - cos they are the best looking bike ever made IMHO.

    Or Gixxer 750 cas they're pretty nice too and they can bloody go

    What a fuckwit thing to say!!!

    You obviously can't ride a ZX10r or a GSXR1K for one reason or another, otherwise they would have been in your list.

    I went with the R6 as I love the way it looks, there aren't a heap of them around (like the gixxer ) and it felt like it was right when I was riding it (yes, this is the best way to find a bike...actually ride them, see what suits, you do actually ride I take it?).

    I didn't need a litre bike, although I can ride them (contrary to your opinion). There are only a handful of people that I know that can ride a litre bike to it's limit (or past the limit of a 600 for that matter), I'm not one of those people. One day I might be but at the moment I'm happy pushing the R6 and hard as I'm able.

    i didn't mean "cant ride" as in not having the skills. i meant cant ride as in not being able/wanting to afford it or not wanting to have the added stress of insuring it, maintaining a larger bike etc.

    of all bikes i can think off, the R6 is as close to being the "little brother" of the R1, the looks etc are pretty much the same, and apart from the performance are essentially the same bike. So what i meant was that if i were interested in an R6 - i would probably skip it and go straight to the 1.

    that may be a bit niave... but thats just my opinnion.

    didn't mean to come across sounding like an asshole. sorry.

    R1 & R6. Different bike, just like a GSXR1000 and a GSXR600. You're still an asshole.

    My R6 was the best out and out piece of motorcycle engineering I've owned.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    At least I don't leave it so long to paint my vagina that the neighbours complain.

    Too much of a pussy to have a go at Slingshot as well winja? I'm disappointed. I hear there's enough of you to go around to insult at least three people at once.

    Don't worry...you'll get use to this if you hang round here for long enough.


    So, what kind of beer do you drink. Me...I always enjoy a drop of DB Draught.
