GSX-R 1000

[madmods]

My honda cbr 900

Im more for performance so the CBR is my choice out of the two. Overall I like the Ducati 999 but it's basically a track bike.

performance i feel the GSXR is a slightly better bike.... and Ducatis are jokes .... they are more style then anything else... and the CBR and GSxR are track bikes only diffrenec is they have headlights...

The rest are crap that's why I said 999, it's the only Ducati I like.

[Digndoug]

Im as well looking for a bike, 4 of my buddie have bikes.. Im prolly looking at a gsx 600 or rsf 600 for starters..

I know my mom will kill me though.. cause my uncle/her brother is half metal from bikes and my brother has had three friends die on them.

If you are going to get a bike get the GSX-R 750...

My choice is the Gixxer 1000.. that is the king of bikes. and is the reigning champion bike of the AMA with Mat Mladin with his record 5 times AMA champion riding the gixxer 1000.

go to www.gixxer.com for info.

well i'm not planning on upgrading... so i want a bike thats all - around good.. .my friend has one, and his is a 600 cc and he said that is perfect, enough power to enjoy, but not so much that it kills ya.

what do you all think?

You may want to check insurance prices B4 purchasing, all the above mentioned models (except maybe the Ninja 250) are going to be pretty high...the "naked street" or the cruisers are much lower rates. Anything with the bodywork like the ZX12R is extremely high insurancewise (if you can even get it). something like a Kawasaki vulcan 500 ltd or vulcan 800A are good entry level cruisers, the 2005 Harley sportster entry level bike is around 6400 now, a pretty decent bike finally, they made a LOT of changes.
I've been riding for 30+ years, I currently have a 1500 Vulcan Nomad and a Harley FXRS Lowrider. I strongly suggest taking a motorcycle safety course, it might lower your insurance, not to mention maybe keeping you alive.

Thanks for the advice!!

right now i'm looking at some Ninja 600 cc

The KLR-650 Kaw or equivalent is another different option, with a lowering kit and good tires it will embarass a lot of street bikes in corners + you can go offroad or tour cross-country. If there were 1 best bike, there wouldn't be so many choices, buy what you like and not what someone else likes,,,you'll be happier.
Only bike board I visit is the Vulcan one at vroc.org, there are a bunch of them out there, search google for motorcycle web or motorcycle forum etc

THANK YOU

[soltrain]

Definately take the course - it's pretty cheap in CA ~150, and was a lot of fun. Also, buy good gear and wear it.

That would explain the stretched swing arm.

[Jaws4God]

I just talked to a guy in my class who is selling his 1999 Honda CBR F1 600 cc bike. I was just wondering if you all could help me figure out what it should be worth.

Year: 1995
Model: Honda CBR F4
Engine: 600cc
Miles: 18,000
Price: $4,000

No damage, never down, everything works, $500 worth of upgrades

He said he bought it from a co-worker about a year ago for about that price.. since then, he's added about $500-600 in modifications.
