Which bike to get

[RXMmazdaspeed]

I'm gettin a bike this summer (hopefully), and if not definitely next summer.... let me know which one you would pick if given the choice. All three bikes are around 8 grand and sellin my dirtbike i should get around 3 grand for a down payment which will make financing much easier. Let me know what you think regarding looks, performance, etc.

Yamaha YZF R6
Honda CBR600F4i
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R

Check the pics

I know nothing about motocylces but I would go with the Ninja only because i've seen a video of a Ninga beating the s*** out of a supercharged Viper

lol... it probably had some s*** done to it... the 0-60's are pretty sick on bikes.. but cars usually get em in the top end.. idk tho i like all the bikes.. i like the fact that the kawasaki has such a sweet ram air in the front that looks aggresive as all hell.. i like honda's cause i've ridden many of their dirtbikes and have owned many, and i like the yamaha cause those flames are just sick plus my current dirtbike is a yamaha.. more comments please!!!

snike-if your talking bout that video with the 4 differ bikes agains that black viper, that was a Hyabusa, but do i agree-the ninja

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

i actually saw that video.. and arent the newest hayabusa's illegal in the US now anyway? i don't wanna get somethin thats runnin 12 or 13 grand that i'll probably kill myself on.. but then again i could do that with my car or one of these bikes

yamaha r6 all the way. if i ever get a bike its gonna be a yamaha.

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

i have a yamaha yz250f right now.. its quick but with college and a full time job over summer i dont have time for it anymore.. so i want somethin for the road... but yes from my experiences yamaha and honda are both awesome looks and performance wise as well as reliable

 

[SNike05]

yeah it was that vid. the last bike was a Ninja the first three were hayabusa's

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

he's right.. was it a turbo ninja? one of the bikes was turbo but i forget, i havent seen it in awhile

 

[SNike05]

[RXMmazdaspeed]

yea that bike is sick.. i think i'll stick with a 600 for a few years haha

 

[SNike05]

I always wanted a bike. I have a 1988 Yamaha YSR50 (its a mini) sitting in my garage with like 8000km on it. Hasn't been driven in 10 years I want to fix it up and fool around on it

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

haha my buddy just bought a xr50 to mess around with.. he put like 88cc bore kit on it and some other crazy s***.. its a fast ass 50 i'll tell ya that much.. s*** pulls wheelies like nothin.. but yea a bunch of my friends have been gettin bikes and comin from a dirtbike background i love the idea.. i hope everything works out so i can get it

You sure you can still get that F4i? That looks like a european model, and I thought F4i got replaced by a RR. I left the bikes this winter, and I used to have a F4i. The new yamaha kind of sucks, it's ugly and I just don't think it would come even close to the Ninja 600RR. The CBR600RR although is a good bike, it's not as quick, it's a bit slower revving engine then the Kawi and Suzuki.
BTW, why is Suzuki not on your list? the new one is pretty nice, I think it also has up-side down forks and some cool things from it's big brother 1 liter.

yea i was lookin at them too.. i mean my options are open we will see... and with the f4i and rr they are both available according to the honda site... maybe i'm wrong but pretty sure i'm right.

so then why F4i over a RR? Undertail exhaust, split seats, new look, fast etc.

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

the money... its a couple hundred dollars more.. i'm 18 financing will be tough enough.. i gotta get my rents to get a 0% credit card so i can afford it

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

bump... more opinions wanted

 

[Wiggles6983]

i vote CBR 600RR (lighter and faster then a F4i) or a R6

I would say both the ZX6R and the R6 Yamaha both have a performance edge over the CBR600. The CBR600RR would have a slight edge over the first 2.
A buddy of mine owns a ZX6R and it's a very under rated bike. Nice choice!

But I wouldn't count out the GSXR600 either. I don't have much input on the R6 but years ago I owned a FZR600 which I was happy with at the time. I'm sure Yamaha has come along way with the latest R6.
My best advise would be to check with your local dealers and find out when demo rides are coming. The best way is test rides.
