    Givin the option - what would you buy?

    I know this is probably not the easiest question to answer... but i am looking at sportsbikes. I want something around 600-750cc and on my list are the following...

    R6 (2000ish)
    ZX7R (2001ish)
    GSXR 750 k3
    ZX6RR (2003ish)

    now if you ignore your personal preference about Looks or Manufacturer (cause i already have a preference... which one would you recommend for weekend rides on warm sunny days?

    sorry if this kind of thing has been done to death but, well, its been keeping me awake at nights!

    Try looking for an R6 from 2003 on. The release of the 2006 R6 has killed resale values for the 2003-2004, and 2005 (same as 2004 but with USD forks and some chassis stiffness tweaks.). 2005 R6s are $13,800 brand new. You should be able to get a low mileage 2003 for $10k or less now.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    R6 mate. Comfortable and practical
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    The gixxer 750 or the zx636r

    the zx7r is far to dated really to match it with the above to bikes. Its heavy, hard on your wrists, hard rear. Fun to ride, but takes a good rider to ride it well

    They are still good bikes personally i would have one in my garage.

    the r6 as never done it for me personally. Good bikes, they are just ..... that.
    nothing fantasic

    So take the gixxer or the kawasaki 636

    A bus ticket would be faster and more reliable than that lot.

    But if a gun was put to my head, I'd go for the GSX. You don't like Honda's do you?

    Built for speed, not for comfort

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.

    i like the idea of a 636 for around 9ish
    i have ALWAYS wanted a 7x7r and i could get a 2001 for about 8 (i know they are heavy, and i know they are under powered... but dam, love the look)

    i personally prefer the look of the 636 and 6R over the gixxer and i only threw the R6 in there to mix up the lot, as i dont really like the way they look, to me, buying one basically says you cant ride an R1 for one reason or another...

    i want a 7R but up against more powerful, more sporty and more recent 6's its a hard call...
