techno Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Pretty much the one you like the look of most and maybe suits you fit wise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanmark Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 GSXR as it has different power settings for riding in the wet / dry. Handy for winter riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWannaGoFast Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 As techno said, sit on all three and test-ride 'em, and whichever suits you best. Obviously I am massively biased to my bikes big brother, ze R6. the 2010 black one is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Went for the GSXR, CBRs seem kinda common and boring, R6 are just typical and GSXR's look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 R6's and jixxers look great, but i have a soft spot for CBRs as i used to have one so go for the honda it wont let you down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig170281 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I am biased as I have a RR8 CBR600RR, as for boring and common???????? you obviously havent ridden one, its as quick as either the other 2, GSXR's are the most common bikes at the meets I have been to so I would never have one, I have the blue and white RR8 and havent seen another on the road, if its your first bike the CBR is so easy to ride, jumped on it after doing my MOD 2, its so forgiving, never had any squeeky bum moments.... yet!!!!!!!

Netmeister Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm gonna go for the Gixxer if it's only road riding as it's not so hardcore compared to the other two, so will be easier to ride quickly on the road without it getting all twitchy over bumpy B roads.If however you ever want to take it on track it's the R6 all day long, followed by the CBR, then Gixxer.

wannars125 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I chose the CBR. Not ridden any of them but from sitting on, the CBR felt the best for my height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I am biased as I have a RR8 CBR600RR, as for boring and common???????? Well ive seen more CBR's around than gsxr's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig170281 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well ive seen more CBR's around than gsxr's Seriously???It may be that there isnt a honda garage in leicester and there is a suzuki / yamaha garage here.I have only seen one newish CBR since I have been riding (only passed mt test in September though ) every other bike in Leicester is a Gixxer!!!! Not that is a bad thing as the new Gixxer 1000's look sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 The R6 is common as anything... The RR is very common as well but comes in more variations...The GSXR comes in the same colour EVERY time... Blue and white...Out of all... CBR RR gets my vote. Its the best for the money, the best looking in my opinion and will last you the course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyded Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 oooh the gsxr is nice,well priced with 0% as suzuki have stuck there prices up,very nice colours,practical to ride i hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnr_zx6r Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I couldnt really pick one from looks and power as they are all about the same (i guess)Persnally i would test ride all 3 and see which one rides best for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akey Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Any of them as they are all pretty much the same As others have said go test ride them, the differences are so tiny its really down to whatever one flicks your switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ff Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 GSXR as it has different power settings for riding in the wet / dry. Handy for winter riding.Does a 600 need this.Theyre all much of the same.As said pick the one you like the look of neither will dissapoint.Personally i think the r6 looks the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrowe Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I only Joined today but looking through this thread i feel it's largley irrelavant and i don't mean any dissrespect to other members giving advice but the bike you go for is the one that makes you smile like a cheshire cat. If there is one machine out there feels right, looks right and goes right more than another then thats for you. Bikes are a heart buy, not a brain buy! if you buy a bike on some body else recomendation you still have to live with it, and all the niggles that there might be.simple answer is ride them all (properly out on your favorite roads) and make your own decission after all one mans w**k mag is another mans chip wrappers!!
