Re: Sport Bike

I rode my r6 for several years before I got rid of it, never really got bored of it.[/QUOTE]


Agree I've had my 600 for 2 years and it's still plenty of fun and I still think i have more to learn

Re: Sport Bike

One way to put the 600 vs 1000 debate to rest is...

Any recent model (2000+) 600 should be around 3 seconds 0-60 and around 6 seconds 0-100.

As a beginner and even amateur rider, do you really think you need more than that?

If I did it again, I'd start with a Kawi 500.


And in case you're wondering, just like the guy on the 3rd page. You are about 99% guaranteed to have a very expensive cleaning of any injuries with a stainless steel wire brush - should you go down without gear.

Re: Sport Bike

To be honest, my Honda CB450 cafe bike was more fun than my GSXR-750. Just depends on what kind of bike you want. Ive been riding minibikes and cycles since i was a kid though.

Re: Sport Bike

Get a supermoto. I had a suzuki drz400sm this summer for a while and that bike was a blast. Wish I could afford to get another one as a second bike.

It's not a sport bike but handles better than them in the tight stuff, gets better mileage (60mpg on mine bouncing off the limiter and wheeling every where I went) and if you crash not a whole heck of a lot happens. Might not be a horrible idea for something to cruise around with and see if you like it. Plus I doubt you'd ever get sick of it. You can be such a hooligan on one once you get your skill level up

KTM Duke is a strong contender for my next bike!

Re: Sport Bike

I enjoy my Buell lightning, things not super fast but the Harley 900ish cc engine provides nice torque and is really a nice small nimble bike to ride. Would like something like that KTM or Triumph Triple R as a next bike.

You know, with that new ohm certificate form being released, building some 250's or even 125's would be fun to rip around town in! I really want to build one.

Anybody know a lot about sumos? Really want one along side my street bike some day. Feel free to school me but the wr250's look to fit the bill.
