Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below just recently pulled out of a 150k townhome deal, cause my new x-girlfriend decided she isn't ready for a serious relationship. well, all of a sudden the money i've been saving for the past 6 months is looking like a nice fast toy. currently i am debating on getting one of the honda 600rr's . i'd like to get something fun to drive around. i was debating on trading the '03 toyota mr2 in on a new lotus elise. but 2 toys look like more fun than 1. what would you guys suggest? bike's are a LOT of fun.
thinking of getting a bike

600's are cool. Get the new Kawa... mean green.

I wonder if I should get a litre bike. The 750 is fast but I would like to do third gear wheelies and it just won't do that.
litre bikes are a total waste imo.... take alook at this months latest sport rider magaizne....shows times of 1000s and 600s in lap times (pro drivers) and guess what the litres aint much faster plus with a litre when can u ever use the extra power anyways? u gsxR is fast enough plus a litre wont handle as well
handling and cornering is where it is AT!

zo6 = 50K with insurance and other shit $$$$$$$$$
2001 zx6r = 4500 bones + 1000 of flash and dash awsome bang for buck value
ive drving an NSX hard on the freeway ( i know it isnt a zo6 but awsome sports car still) and no car is even a superbike
i remmeber reading once that a older zx11s could go to 0-100 and back to 0 before a ferrari 360 could even hit 80 mph
but sports cars are really badass
Well after riding for years i would strongly disagree with Tiger on his bike choices. I would only recommend going for a 1000cc bike and skip the smaller ones, in the past there was a huge difference in weight and handling in a 1000 vs a 600. Today the difference is blurred their times are very similar, but that's with pro riders on the track. With normal riders on the street, the 1000cc bike will be easier to ride, with more torque and HP at lower RPM. Both the liter and 600cc bikes are fast enough to kill you so take one that fits you right and respect it until you get used to it and you will be able to grow into the bike, as opposed to outgrowing it.
PS.
I started man handling my 600 after just 2 weeks. It was so small and light i treated it more like a toy for joy riding, that's when trouble happens and it did for me. I upgraded to a CBR 1100XX and love it to shit. Never lost the respect the bike DEMANDS from it's rider and that IMO is what keeps you safe.

290 km on your 929? That's what, like 175 mph? I was not aware that this bike can go that fast. It has to be modified or your speedo is way off. My CBR 1100 xx hits about 300 km/h and i know what you mean. I hit about 170mph on it and it did feel pretty stable and safe. Gotta tell you though, WHAT A RUSH!!!! It's an experience unlike any other.
