After the Ninja Bitch (95' ZX6R), Ninja Bitchlet (07' EX250), last weekend I got myself a 2002 GSXR600. Since it's yellow and black I call it my Bumble Bitch.

First of all, I would like to declare myself a commuter. I don't do anything fancy with these bikes, so my opinions are nothing other than riding straight on the freeway, or riding straight in local street tongue.gif

I can't compare to my old 95' ZX6R because I was constantly having problems with that bike, to a point any little tiny unusual sound or jerk will leave me wondering if the bike is dying. The bike died on the freeway TWICE, so the only memory of me with that bike was just me being extremely paranoid. Hence the reason why I sold it.

Compared to the Ninja 250, it is night and day... but then it is more of a 250 vs 600 comparison. Aside from speed, freeway riding is a lot more peaceful and smooth on the 600 with those fat ass tires. None of those creeps and cracks on the freeway bothered me like they did with a 250. Riding position is a ****ing pain on these supersports, one thing I miss about riding the 250 is the more relaxed riding position. For local street riding, I loved the 250 more than the 600s. Easier to lane share cuz the bike is skinnier, it doesn't accelerate fast so you have a lot more room for throttle error. Other than that... they're all good.
