For those of you who own one,what are your preferences on sportbikes.I'm thinking of buying a used one and would like to know pros and cons.Right now I,m looking at suzuki gsxr 600 and the yamaha yzf-r6, are these pretty reliable machines?
The best way to pick out a bike is to go & try them out. Sit on it & see what i most comfortable. I am gonna get a bike next year but i'm avoiding the whole "Sport Bike" category & going for a sport touring bike. Cheaper on insurance & a lot more comfortable. I'm looking at getting a Yamaha FZ6. Its got the R6 engine but without the side covers & more upright. Plus its cheaper too.
mmmm sport bikes i would go with the suzuki though...got a friend with one and its a GREAT bike. But like sobe said try a few out, it all depends on the weight and how comfortable you are throwing it all around. One word of caution though is that the position you sit in can get kinda annoying after a long ride so take that into consideration it can be hard on your back.
I myself am going to go for a cruiser probably a harley but we will see.
good luck with that. a bike gives you the best feel you can have (DRIVING)just you and the road. I love them and will always own one...to bad i dont right now though stupid insurance.
yeah but.. not the point SPEED SPEEDSPEEDjust joking plus, wreck in a 911 at 100 mph and there's a chance you'll live.. on a bike...... lol. And i know, bikes are cool i'm not saying they're not hellz of fun, but when it starts to rain or snow, you don't got no windshield wipers

Yeah true, but anyone going 100 mph on a bike thats not on the track deserves what happens to them.
Well I think I'll head to the cycle shop and try some bikes out,what I want is something I can ride to work and cruise town maybe 15-20 miles at a time. I've never had a sportbike but grew up on numerous dirt bikes anywhere from a honda 70 to a yamaha yz250 with nitrous WHAT A RIDE!
speed? want a fun story about speed and bikes...Ok so me and my friend (driving) in his S2000 were running up on our friends in a SRT4 stage 1 and my other friend on that 10second suzuki r. We were going 105 the guy on the bike was cruiseing saw us fliked us off and WALKED us we came up on him at 105mph he was at around 65 and he walked (term for he just pulled away) away...BIKES ARE SPEED.
go with the suzuki, its just my opinion and i have nothin against anythin but honda, i just like gixers. and why buy a porsche? i just spent $1000 on a car thats as fast as just about any porsche, new or old, and with another $1500 that i have planned over the winter, ill be able to smoke just about anythin. yes they look nice, but $60,000 for a pretty slow porsche or $2500 at most for a mid 10 second sleeper, you do the math!! ahhhh cars, i love em!
