600cc supersports first impressions

gsxr 750 ftw

youll never need to upgrade

I'll second that.

Why buy a 600? When you throw another $1500 into mods, and then your still not be anywhere near the 750 powerwise.

The 750 is the best of both worlds. Light and nimble like a 600 with abit more power but not as much as the thou.

Yeah, one problem.
Its made by Suzuki.

I'd hate them too, if Suzuki don't make the rear subframe strong enough to support my healthy figure. Keep sunday free.

you dont need the power of a 1000 on our roads, and if you only do a track day or so a year and road 99% then a 6 is great, { in terms of sports bikes }
says one.

true, but ridden at the same speed the 750 or 1000 will last a lot longer and also have better resale value.

and more economical on juice.

buy a thou.. then you're never left wondering and you can use the wrist to choose how you ride....DONE!

The weight is nothing to worry about with a 1000cc - 600's on the other hand are quite scarily light, whearas even a new thou feels nice and solid. big 1200's etc... (the bandit comes to mind) are damn heavy and thats when weight can be an issue...

Id definately recommened buying a 1000 twin, I know my next bike will be one... mmm RC51...

Ninja 250 -> Ninja 636 -> Ninja ZX10R for me

[Black Bandit]

The deal has been done, the papers signed. Go here next thread to find out which one I got.

Oh, just realised you can tell by looking at my profile. Ah well, it's a good read anyway.

Old thread I know, but just went for a ride today on a new CBR600RR, 07 VTR1000 and an 07 VFR800 after getting my full last week. I too am curious how you people with such bikes manage to keep your licence. THe faster you seem to go, the more they love it.

CBR feels like a toy, a wonderful fun little toy that wants to kill you. Wicked in the cornering department and savage in a straight line. Felt alright around town, everything nice and toght.

VTR somewhat less refined for want of a better word. Loved the torque, didn't love the lack of steering, though that may have been because I jumped straight off the CBR and onto the VTR.

VFR... loved it. Its torquey and revvy, sports and touring, plus it was the most comfortable or the 3. Will cruise along happily at whatever speed you like and feels very stable. Could very well see myself on one, though price tags are a little scary.

Might have to try a few more bigger bikes. Haven't been down to the Suzuki shop for a poke around but think I'll stick with the Hondas anyway

[SVboy]

Dont limit your scope-check out the GSXR 600k7. I luuuurve mine! And it has a slipper clutch and the Honda aint![love the Honda too-but Suzuki=sexytime and is lots cheaper too!]
