Hello all,

I need help deciding on which bike I would like to purchase. I like most sport bikes and have decided on the 600cc size. I would like to have some indight on picking one outside of only looks and price.

Currently I have looked at the: (in order of preference)

Suzuki GSX-r 600
Kawasaki ninja Zx-6r
Yamaha R6
Honda cbr

These bikes all seem very similar, how can i diferentiate them? Which would you choose?

How about a Ninja 250 or 500. Either of those have enough power to get you to speeds you can kill yourself at. If you want to get something with a bigger engine look at a 650 thumper like a KLR or an older BMW F650. Not to mention you can save money to buy proper gear, armoured jacket, helmet, gauntlets and armoured pants.

I'll be 22 in two weeks and i've been riding off and on since i was a kid and I still ride off road, I've ridden a couple of times on our dead end road but I don't feel that I'm ready to hop on a CBR and kill myself. Slow down. 600s arn't what they were 10 years ago but then again i guess in a world where the boss hoss and Triumph Rocket III exsist....

Wow, so because you don't want to hear the truth (that you can easily kill yourself on one of those bikes) you ignore the facts? If your in NEED of a bigger engine then buy an SV650 if you can deal with a smaller engine a Ninja 250 or 500 is the ticket.

Your a beginner, you dont belong on a CBR or a 'Busa but plenty of riders end up dead, maimed or disabled because of it. Went to High school with a kid who got a new $30k a year job, celibrated by going out and buying a BMW R1200R, bags, BMW jacket and helmet and had NO practice on something smaller. He had a truck stop in front of him and he squeezed the back brake, the bike didn't stop and he hit the rear bumper flipped up through the bed and through the back window.

He was in a coma for a week and still doesn't have full movement or feeling bellow his waist. He is down completely afraid of motorcycles, has limited movement of his legs and little to no feeling in his legs and manhood. I'd rather be riding a small bike with the use of everything below my waist than be him.

Its times like this that i wonder if tiered licensing would be a good thing. Stop people like this from getting the wrong bike. Hell even a Ninja 250 can get you killed.
