Okay so im looking into buying a bike.. i was looking at 3 models.

Honda CBR600RR
Yamaha YZF-R6S
UM V2S-650R

im kinda leaning towards the UM "United Motors"... Just wondering on what you guys would recommend.

Are you looking at new bikes? If brand new I would recomend the 600rr, been reading up on them and really am liking what I see.

gsxr1000 or a zx10

That wasn't one of his choices lol.....if he is looking at 600's I def like the Honda and Nelson would automatically recomend the ZX6R but that's not an option either

yeah im going to buy new, the kawasaki's could be an option i suppose.. i used to ride a KX 125 motocross bike, loved it.

OH BOY wait until Nelson gets on here, he will have you wanting a Kawi in no time lol

haha, im open to anything.. the one thing i dont want is Suzuki.. i hate them.. havent had very good experiences with them in the offroad area... i was also looking into Triumph Daytona 675

why buy new when this is your first bike? Get a used one incase you dump it. Then once you comfortable get a new one if need be.

i know howto ride them, i rode em since i was awee toddler. lmao j/k but prolly since i was 14.. used to take my uncles out all the time with no license or permit, just around my house.

oh well you didn't tell me that fucker.

well you didnt ask. haha

I shouldnt have to

The Daytona 675 is absolutely gorgeous. Only thing I hated about my TT600 was that the aftermarket for them is small and expensive, nevermind paying dealer prices for their stuff.

dealer price for a 675 is 8,999.. which is around same for all other bikes except the UM... the UM 650R is 6300 dealer

zx6R very very nice bike absolutely love em was what i was lookin for at one point but couldnt get an approvel...wtf

No I meant for parts and service later on.....the pricing out the door is about the same for all of them liek you said.


Yeah Nelson wanted one originally but now he wants a ZX10

ahh, okay got ya, was confused for a few.. This year is close to winter anyways, so i may not even pick one up till next year. but.. just checking out opinions and options.

ya the zx10 is also another really nice bike a buddy of mine had one which made me want one, id have to say if i attempt once again to get a bike it will have to be either a zx6R zx10 or a gsxr, but the 10 is a pretty fast friggin bike

If you are buying a new 600, I say ZX-6r hands down ftw!!!!

^i agree with him

As much as i hate to say it, the zx has pretty bad review's in the 600 class. I would probally go with the cbr

Joe!

This months superstreet bike did a GREAT gsxr 600 review i would definatly look into them ,i can also give you a good contact at a dealer in conn that will hook you up and even deliver the bike to your doorstep

Zx6.... but if your over 200Lb id say a ZX7 or a GSXR 750...

with what bikes cost, its really not a huge difference between new and used.


and not everyone dumps them *knocks on wood*




everyone always says "Everyone dumps it"

but not I.

im still riding my first bike and its a 1000

Yes I know this. But still I'd be ripshit if I dumped a brand new bike compared to an older on that has seen better days.

I would kill myself on a bike.

i was at the honda dealership the other day and theyt had the new cbr600rr in black and pearl orange

but just in case you decide to go used http://providence.craigslist.org/mcy/820252464.html

yeah i really like the 08 Daytona 675 and 08 CBR600RR

ccwrx, what kind of pricing do you think you could get me on the GSXR 600?

check out columbia motorsports in conn, they got a website call them up and tell them paul from new bedford sent you they will hook you up shit just last year i sent about 8 people there , i personally went up there for times in 05 to buy a bunch of bikes with buddies

shit i had a strecthed 05 600 all blk at the shop that just sold for 5400 great deal good bike we did all the work to it

My friends with CBR's like them. Of course they ride mostly on tracks so it's getting a lot more use than you would on the street. I have no experience on one myself but I wouldn't kick one out of my garage. Resale value seems to be ok too.

I know you said you hate Suzukis, but I can't say enough good things about my SV650. I like it so much I'm looking for a second for a track whore.

i have a gsxr 600 and i love it i think there are a great bike im not sure why you would hate it but i know its a proven bike it one of the most popular bikes out there for a reason

ive just had alot of problems wirth their motocross bikes.. their RM125's and 250's... the street bikes could be different though.

Hey...go with what you like, no harm in that!

have any of you guys heard of the "UM" Bikes before? (United Motors) they are considerably cheaper then all other 600 series.. and sofar i havent seen any bad about them... 2008 new 650R is around $6300

what motors do they run?who makes them?

Never heard of them, but i googled them. Look decent, but how available are part's ad where's the closest dealer( warrenty issues)?

good point joey!!!! i mean a bike aint like a car warrenty wise but at least the first service you know

well theres a dealer next town over from me in Auburn, MA... Motorsports International..

First off...I did not read this whole post....

I have both a 600RR and the R6...What-cha wanna know?

What do you like about both? which one would you prefer?

They both have their advantages...and to be honest...I have never ridden a bike I did not like.

The r6 has an amazingly smooth transmission/throttle and a wider power band. The RR does not hit a good power band till you hit 8k, but that thing just loves to dive into the corners. I will say that the R6 is a much easier bike to work on, even for general maintenance.

The truth of the matter is that 99% of street riders will not be able to tell the difference between any modern sport bike, performance wise. The differences in performance and suspension are too small for an average rider to notice nor will you ever use 100% of its capabilities on the street. The differences in rear wheel hp are too small to make a difference to the everyday rider.

What it really comes down to is your personal preference. Styling and fit. Seat comfort (will you be using this bike for long distance?) or sleek seat (for body movement/racing).

Go to the shop, sit on each one and decide what you like. Consider the seat height, the clip on positions etc. Make a choice that suits you and you will love either one.

okay dude, thanks alot for the info, i appreciate it very much

buy the r6! nasty bike
new is the way to go if you can
