Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) I'm interested in two bikes at the moment. One is a 750 GSXR 1998 29000 miles full mot nearly full service history. The other is a 600 GSXR 2000 25000 miles full mot some service history. From that which sounds best?

harrycpr Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 gsx600r just cause it is a 600cc....loli think the 600 cause it is newer and has less miles so u will not need to do as much maintenance atm on itbut yet again dosent have full service history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Depends what you want mate, me id want full service history on my bike same as i did on my sports car, at the end of the day these things get the tits revved off em so i wanted to know it was looked after previous.All depends if you want a 750 or a 600 really Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Tough one isnt it The 750 does cost £200 more but has had new sprocket and chain and comes with two brand new tyres worth £220 which havent been fitted yet.But 4000 miles is a big difference imo?!

Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Depends what you want mate, me id want full service history on my bike same as i did on my sports car, at the end of the day these things get the norks revved off em so i wanted to know it was looked after previous.All depends if you want a 750 or a 600 really Matt Haven't got a clue realy mate.Did another insurance quote this time with confused.com and the difference is only about £100 between the two.But people say there isnt much difference in performance anyway...

Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Is it your first bike mate ? The 600 you have to rev harder to stay within the power band, or at least thats how my R6 is bud. The 750 doesnt need to be revved as hard as far as i know. Ive just had a new sprocket and chain put on mine mate that will just be a wear and tear thing i would imagine.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'll say the 750, as I went for a backie on one ten years ago which I've never quite forgotten and which got me into bikes because I couldn't stop grinning for 2 days afterwards!! I'm having one next..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 depends 600 vs 750 aint going be much difference the extra power will be ofset at the low and mid end by the extra weight.wha color etc. full service history is wanted really. its up to you tho i guress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Ahhhhhh I dunoooo They have both had a respray, both blue the 600 has some very nice decals on it which make it stand out more. But the 750 looks smarter as it only has the odd decal reading GSXR etc.Oh and yes this will be my first bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Riggsy mate the choice is yours bud, dont let decals sway you though as you can buy most sets from ebay or get them made up bespoke Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oh and the 750 is £200 more, but he is including two tyres worth £200 which haven't been fitted yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akey Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 First off, you will not be disapointed with either bike,Check the insurance on both, if its the same I would go for the 750, it will be easier to ride as it has more torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around £100 more for the 750 matey.The 600 appeals to me because it has 4000 less miles, but the 750 appeals to me as its got alot more history...toothe I have no experience mate.

Stu Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 if its your first bike the 750 will probably scare the sh*te out of you as will the 600 i would get a 600 and go from there you wont be dissapointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 You won't be dissapointed with either but I've voted for the 750, less frantic and ultimately easier to ride and get on with over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started off with a 2002 CBR600. Had it for 3yrs and then got a 2007 GSXR750K7 last year. There is a big difference in power between the two. Even after riding the 750 for a year, it can still surprise me with how quickly it accelerates (just ask Stu_M) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ff Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 your K7 gixxer 750 is gonna probably have more power than a 1000 of 10 year back tho(1998)My mate has the gsxr6 K1.Its quick enough i can tell you.Go for the 6 cheaper insurance and tax its newer better developed chassis and no scafolding holding the front together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 quickly it accelerates (just ask Stu_M) . yup it does accelarate quick but not quick enough to out run a tired old TL 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
