Why the cheaper prices for larger bikes?

[placidfemme]

Bigger the bike, bigger the appetitie for tyres...
And they don't come cheap!
600 is a good compromise, specially if you are small and light, and they are way cheaper to insure. My old insurance company wouldn't insure period for over 600cc cause I am under the magic 25. There is that to consider, Kiwibike are quite good at sorting that out though.
Craig sheriffs holds the new lap record at manfeild long track on a 600, and seems quite content beating the crap out of the thousands.
600s don't have quite the wheely capability if you screw something up and hamfist it.

Well I would like to learn basic stunts (wheelies and stoppies) when I upgrade... I know that on the american stunt forums they all recommend the Honda F4i 600, but I'm not keen on the Honda's right now... Unless I can get a 2006/2007 model... which I can't afford lol

Ride height may not be as literal as the measurement they give you. Depends on seat width etc. Of course as soon as you sit on one things become clear.

[kickingzebra]

gsr?? apparently that has a nice seat height, and it'll stunt with the best of them.
With your weight, stunting should be easy as! Won't need heaps of power.
Can't go past a gixxer though....
Older honda go cheap as

Do you really need the power of a 1000?
As others have said, higher the running costs which you will feel in the tyre department.

A 600 already has 100 horse at the rear, with you're weight being less that 50kgs do you really think you'll need any more power than that?

600's are for fags.

No I don't "need" the power at all. Don't even "need" the power of a 600. I'm just thinking ahead, if I buy a 600/1000 which would be more worth the money...

thats great for me

[MSTRS:Me]

600's are for fags.

Hey MSTRS,

"DUCK"

[MSTRS:Me]

Hey Dover?

That was no duck...

[McJim]

S'alright, we could fit a filter tip to her head.

Hey Dover! If Hondas are Ghey and 600s are for fags...if I get a 600cc Honda as my next bike will they cancel each other out so you stop trying to shag me?

[The_Dover]

fuck, I thought it was a turkey.

I call fowl play.

[The_Dover]

No.

It will just make you as gay as boomer.

and you'll probably catch AIDS.

Learn those things on a dirt bike not a road bike. The first time you loop it you'll realize why.
