CBR600RR vs. R6

[DCMikey]

ok so yea dude at rick case was talking to my dad and uncle who ride honda and he gave me a awesome deal i wont say what though, but i've come down to this...

either a '06 CBR600RR OR '04 R6 w/ R1 Exhaust setup conversion

will be my first bike...

btw... this will be around new years, cause i need to save up:lawl:

i love the R1 but that shit is just wayy to big for me now, im 5'-9'' 125lbs:(, also to powerful for a n00bie

no need for negative b/s

[DCMikey]

one my cousins ride a CBR1000RR and the other rides a CBR1000RR, R1 and a GSXR1000, yea he has 3, so rick case honda knows us pretty well, which is why i got this nice deal

[Jtr32s]

hmmm... since its your first bike and they are both going to be 600's. Go for looks thats all it comes down to, cause the RR is the slowest out of the class, well less hp i mean. the r6 is nice i would have gotten it but since i use my bike daily, "supposibly" hondas last longer and i had a better deal =). lol with your weight you can stay with your cousin with just a few mods , and that way you can learn the bike as you build it. personally 600's are all you need , 1000 are just a faster death... jk, ill get one when i outgrow my 600rr.

Good luck with your decision man, they are both great bikes.

[DCMikey]

thanks they are my 2 favorites and so is their older brothers, never liked the gsxr's or zx's

well i dont really like the one side high beam and the other low on the honda, whereas on the yamaha its normal w/ projectors

if you never rode a sport bike at all. a 600 cc bike is still very dangerous..first bike i ever rode was my bros gsxr 1000..and that broke me in real good..im assuming you know atleast how to ride..so it would be ok..me really i would go suzuki or go home..suzuki's are reallt realiable..tommorow im test driving my friends 05 gsxr 600 to see if i take over payments:x:..good luck

[1JALi]

you're going to get bored of the 600, just get a 750 and go light on the throttle.

[DCMikey]

sorry dudes but its Honda or Yamaha... the rest are nice but im not diggin em'.

[DCMikey]

Diango where teh fawk you at???

[1JALi]

Diango is @ us27, he just called meh.

i think R6 FTW

[Jtr32s]

as for the rr and the lighting situation... just add hid's oh and thats a 2007 cbr not an 06. yo danny good luck man.

[b_serious]

ill get the 07 600rr honda. the shit moves pretty fucking good for a 600. but if is going to be a bike you are going to learn on, i would get a old shitty bike for like 2 stacks and learn to ride

[Silky Johnson]

you'll get bored of the 600 fast.

first bike 600 is the way to go though.

but lets let diango chime in.

the wan sousand king.

[oliver]

the pic you posted is a 07 not a 06

about the headlight on the cbr. just ride with your highbeams on,
I would get the cbr. although Ive never riden a yamaha. the cbrs are the best street bikes. ive read countless reviews on the cbr and the cbr always comes out on top. its also the lightest bike with a dry weight of like 360 i think. the only thing i notice that is missing is a slipper clutch. i plan on getting a cbr 1k hopefully next month for my 1st bike. for the price difference i think you should get the 1k.

[clunker]

between those 2 bikes i would choose the r6. i used to have a 99 r6 and that bike was the shit. i had a few mods done to it and my fatass was beating fuel injected gsxr 750's with a carbed 600. r6 are niiice. youll get ranked on by everyone though cuz everyone seems to believe that the r6 is a "chick bike" in reality i see more chicks riding 600rr's than r6's...

an r6 with few mods taking 750's?lol which year 750?cuz i have never seen that..

[clunker]

99 r6 with -1+2 gearing, 520 chain, mig full exhaust, k&n filter, dynojet pro jet kit, and a ported head. and in the time i had my bike i raced 2 00-03 gsxr 750's beat one by a liiiittle bit and beat one by alot. i also raced 1 04 gsxr 750 and beat him by about a bike. with the gearing i had on my bike i would jump everyone haaard and then they would catch back up in the top end. i weighed around 280lbs at that time and my 600 would power wheelie in 2nd w/o chopping the throttle.

[streetslide]

Ive had both FI models, and I would go with the RR, it handled a lot better than the r6, and was just over more fun to ride than the r6..and yea clunker, r6 are girl bikes..lol

[clunker]

makes sense on why you bought one than biiiitch.. lol

[streetslide]

makes sense on why you bought one than biiiitch.. lol

only had it for like a month till I saw the light..lol, just like the del sol

I first bike was a 954rr! But the 600rr is a much better bike and in white its pure sex.

[Jtr32s]

well i agree with clunker on modding a 600 to beat a 750, and that can be done easily all you really need is full headers and exhaust,clutch work, 520 convert, power commander, and gp-style shifter + cluthless up shifts(most important) =D, thats what im trying to work on and if anything ill slap a tank on this bitch and ride out on 1000's =D lol but with all that cheese wasted you could have just bought a 1k. I thought the RR was the chick bike..... i barely see r6's =/.

[1ARUN]

I thought the RR was the chick bike..... i barely see r6's =/.
thats one thing i like about yamaha not too many on the street. The gsxr is played out more than a civic. The rr comes next. Basically just sit on the bike and based on comfort then looks pick the bike. dont worry about performance because your not a pro, u will never use either bike to full potential so it dosnt matter. another thing is this is florida the only turns your gonna hit is the rocky off ramps. alot of people never grow out of the 600. Self control and gear will keep u safe, do not get over confident after riding a week and everything goin good for you because that will bite u in the ass. Respect the bike you pick man...good luck

[EZ2H8]

you're going to get bored of the 600, just get a 750 and go light on the throttle.

BS:jerkit: Sorry, but thats definately not true. I have a 600rr and its the best thing I could ever get my hands on. Yea, and its true that with a few mods you can take the R6. I eat them for breakfast. :lawl: But are you looking for something good to ride, or are you just looking for power? I say go with a 600rr. Dude with a pc3(powercommander) and full header w/ exhaust you can stay with 1000s. Anyone have something to say about that? lol. I will tell you that I couldnt be happier with my 600rr and I dont plan on moving up. What for? I already top at 175. And stock 600rr top at 163. I really dont think there more need than that.

[EZ2H8]

I first bike was a 954rr! But the 600rr is a much better bike and in white its pure sex.

:lawl: guess what color my 06 is :lawl:
And they dont come in white. The 07s do though.

HIDs with a white bike make you want to :jerkit: Its so sick.

Thank you. Someone that has the same view as me.

[Jtr32s]

1ARUN your right, thats why i got a 600, and it is true always wear gear, if it wasnt for my x-11 i wouldnt be here right now. long story short, i slammed on the front brakes at 40+, bike endos and throws me off and lands on me my shoe saved my life cause i slide into the curve, always wear gear ppls, it will hurt less =). so always be aware and dont get too cocky. Ride safe =)

well as you may know drivers make a huge difference..but if you beat a few 750 chances are your bike was really healthy..but thats a rarity..i used to go to the races all the time and you would never see many bolt on 600's taking 750's...the kawi 636 now with exhaust,power commander,intake,gearing and a good tune would walk on 750's pretty easy until top end came around..all the r6's i would see would not be that impressive..

[1ARUN]

A friend of mine with a 600 is right there with me. He has beat me a couple times. He also weighs about 130 and has his bike extended and some other things he wont tell anyone. But yeah I believe a 600 beating a 750 with the right driver/mods no problem. like ive seen a single cam vtec all motor beat a type r all motor. shit happens.

:ohnoes::hsughno: lol

[clunker]

werd. i ran a 1000RR one time also from a 1st gear roll and was ahead till mid 4th. that was kinda impressive to me aswell. my bike ran well. especialy considering the heavy ass rider on it.

ya it happens..i just never seen it with such light mods as you had..only on the 636 kawi's...anyways only bad thing about the 600's the 750 will zoom by once you hit 6th gear..thats the only good thing about a 750..wayy better high end..

[clunker]

ive done 176.. i dont wanna go any faster. its unescessary.

[Jtr32s]

lol the most i've gone is 189 on my friends r1 that shit was epic =), topped out my stock RR at 168? barely remember. I think ill be happy when i get to the 2's ...... speed junky? yes. =D. only reached these speeds on ockee passing griffin like at 9am on a sat, alot of bikes out there and barely cars. Be safe out there guys.

The big bad busa is your friend then. It takes some work on a busa to hit 200, it takes a lot more work on a 1000. A busa with a big bore and all the bolt on MIGHT make it. Remember, the faster you go, the more power you need to go faster, 0-100 is not the same as 100-200. I am thinking about getting a busa but those damn 1000's look so damn sexzi

my bro used to race ppl's bikes for money back then at Okee before he stopped riding..he rode a turboe'd busa that did well over 220 mph against another busa on bottle i think it was full buillt..my brother is a crazy ass mofo..his name is Carlos.they call him "tre deo" cuz he lost his three toes on his left food when riding one time

[1ARUN]

my friends gsxr 1000 06' hit 197 with light mods supposedly. but that is indicated bike speedos are not accurate. After 170 its just unessesary my t shirt was whippin me like a bitch . I would like to get a busa for highway riding and long distance. Probly top it out if i get a nice stretch with no cars.

[Jtr32s]

After 170 its just unessesary my t shirt was whippin me like a bitch .

:D

Get a jacket, i know its hot in Miami but you can find yourself a textile jacket and just rock a tank top under if you think it will be too hot. I bet the fall will hurt less :smile: . and if you don't want a jacket just buy some gloves. Ride safe.

Nope, you can keep Suzuki :D. I'm sure a 1000RR with a few mods will be hitting the 2's .

[oliver]

shit the fastest ive ever gone was 90 lol
<<<rook

[EZ2H8]

i'd be shittin myself at 180+

I'll stick to crusing.

[EZ2H8]

Now that we're at it with everyone talking about motorcycles, anyone what to ride soon? I cant find any riders in the Miami Lakes/Hialeah area.

ya its unessesary..but its for bragging rights which aint worth ur life anyways..my bro used to top out them turbo busa's with no jacket too..like an idiot..was that 197 gps on the 1000?whats light mods to you?cuz i doubt it will hit that without alot of internal work gps not speedo

[Brendon]

600 is more than enough.

[LMG]

600 is more than enough.

Indeed. I don't have a bike of my own YET but I have ridden my friends bikes so I can tell you there is a huge diff between a 600 and a 1000. I've ridden gsxr 600 and 1000 a honda 1000 and 600. The fastest of all was a gsxr1000, fast enough to not make me want to ride :rofl:. Compared to the 1000s, the 600s feel like mopeds, their so easy to flick around it's not funny.

[oliver]

i agree that 600s are more than enough but for the price difference I say get a 1k.all my boys say just get the 1k from the beginning because they all get rid of the 6 for the 1.i was quoted from rick case 9 5 for a 6 and 10k for the liter

[danny92eg]

im not lookin to buy a 1k because then im goin to get into modding it and then want to race it..fuck that ill get a slow 600 and if i mod it it wont be worth racing..i rather race my car..its gonna be faster than my bike anyways lol

[1ARUN]

:D

I have a jacket but its mesh and grabs the wind not really that great for toppin out your bike, but it is good on the streets. If I crash at 180 and liv road rash will not be my problem.


Now that we're at it with everyone talking about motorcycles, anyone what to ride soon? I cant find any riders in the Miami Lakes/Hialeah area.

Im down to ride. Probly this sunday im gonna go for a good ride in the mornin with some friends. Ill let u know by tonite.
ya its unessesary..but its for bragging rights which aint worth ur life anyways..my bro used to top out them turbo busa's with no jacket too..like an idiot..was that 197 gps on the 1000?whats light mods to you?cuz i doubt it will hit that without alot of internal work gps not speedo No gps i said it was just indicated, just by the speedo. I personally think hes full of shit because ive flown by him top end.

I dont agree with you at all myfriend. A 1000 will scare even an experienced 600 rider. Its way to much power to learn ,tooch gas it will flip. Get a 600 and sell it when or if your ready for the 1k. If you crash on a new 1k there goes your saving money, hospital bill, parts/ labor, funeral. Get a 600 for a first bike you will thank me.

[Jtr32s]

:thumbup:

Hmmmm.... your not a complete squid :D.. jk . Well yeah 1ARUN has a point. you shouldn't really start on 1k's or even 750's already 600's are pushing for a first bike. It's funny when i first got my RR there were people saying to buy a 1k, funny thing they didnt even have riding experience nor a bike.... :slap: they really needed to get on a bike or own one to give me advice cause that was the stupidest shit i heard. So to the members that said to not even get a 600, just to jump on a 750 or a liter bike... please don't give advice :D thank you.

Now that we're at it with everyone talking about motorcycles, anyone what to ride soon? I cant find any riders in the Miami Lakes/Hialeah area.


Yo i'll join you once i fix my bike.

[pricojorge]

1000s are fun

i have one and i luv it only thing is that its heavy :(

u get used to the power really quick, i remember the first time, i was sooo scared of punching first gear, now im popping wheelies in first gear

[oliver]

I get what you guys are saying.
ive riden liter bikes and 600s. I didnt notice any difference because i wasnt gunning it.:dunno: even the riding instructor said to get a 1k. I plan on getting a 1k. as I get experience is when i will start to open the bike up etc etc

word of advice dont buy a liter bike for your first..gunning a liter bike will make you shit your pants..trust me..get a 600 or max a 750

I understand that, i've been there. People don't listen to people with experience , so i guess they have to go through it themself...... hopefully noone will die. :D
