I be looking for a bike now too with the gas prices being $3.30+ around here. I'm looking for a 600-750 to start with. Rocket of course, unless I find a deal on a XLH 1200 Harley. I'm hoping to only spend ~$3000 on this as it is a "first" bike. I'm not totally new to riding 2 wheeled things as I've rode BMX for a while and various Dirtbikes.

Anyone looking to get rid of something?

96+ preferably. not looking for a robo-cop style ride. r6, gsxr's, RR, etc..

I suppose a 600 whould be a good bike for the MPG and turning.

I would go with a GSXR 750. Great bike, not real expensive and plenty of power. I rarely get to use 50% of the potential of my 1k and wish I would have gotten a 750.

I got my bike from Larson's in Princeton, great prices and service. You could also look for left over '06 bikes. I know there are a few '06 1k's around at a good price.

I'd also suggest a GSX-R750. Either '06 or '07. They have the same frame as the 600, just with a bigger motor. In my opinion, it's pretty difficult to get all the potential out of a liter bike on the streets. It's more than most people need. Plus, with the 750, you'll get cheaper insurance rates. I had an '06 600, and it was a really fun bike. Cornered like nobody's buisness and was plenty fast for me.

yep, the 750s dont have enough torque to get you in 3rd gear wheelie trouble. but they do have a crapload more grunt than a 600. I think the 06 models trap around 138 in the quarter.

Noah ran a 10.9@132 at Rock falls this year. He may have gone faster as well, but that was the best run I saw. GSX- R750

But for some reason, I am a diehard Honda bike fan.

Almost all Honda bikes are boring, just like their cars. They do their job ok, but don't give you a good feeling about it. The Kawi 636 is a good bike too and has a bit more grunt than a 600.
