Its really hard to put down any 600 i rode but honda is way better overall as a street bike.

PS i think gixxers are ugly as, and everyone seems to have one and I havent seen the 09 zx6r yet.

I think you need a sexy black 749!

Sorry, I don't like the exhaust a single bit, nor do i like the front cowling/lights. Just personal taste.
If I had to rate the current 600s purely on looks:
R6 > 675 > CBR > ZX6R > GSXR.
Ugly is probably too strong of a word to use on any of them. Its just the worst looking one. I know if I had to get one, I would regret it every time I see another 600 next to me.

I take it they don't make these any more? I don't know why, but I don't think I could ever buy a second hand bike. Is that wrong? Its such a personal item to me.
848 is an amazing bike though. If only I could afford one

nah, dont make them any more. And your right, 848 is sure pretty hot, but same as you, I couldn't afford that new beastie

As for second hand, Ive done the 'new bike' thing, just got over taking the big hit when you sell it. But if your buying to keep it for a long time then new would be my choice. Since I seem to change my bikes every year at least (gals aloud to change her mind every day ya'know

) then I find I don't loose anywhere near as money on them by buying 'used'.

I plan to keep this one for a couple of years till the warranty runs out. Selling the bike is just as hard for me. When I sold my 250, the buyer asked if I wanted to go for rides and I couldn't cos I couldn't bare to see my bike in someone else's hands.

Someone tell me when all the bitching stops.

For someone that has 'unsubscibed' from this thread, you sure seem to do a lot of posting

....or has the bitching finally stopped?

**STOLLI R1** · 7th January 2009, 11:03

I'm keen if the weather stays like this. Word is that it's meant to improve as the day goes on.

Its not a bad day on the coast today, bit cloudy and a bit of wind.
Couple of options this way - ride over the Paekak Hill to Gordy's Bar in Paraparaumu or ride to the top of the PK Hill carpark then back around the Pauatahanui inlet to the Montieths Bar or Sandbar at Mana.
