ok im looking to get a streetbike and i dont know what one i want to get. and i also dont know if i want a 600 or 1000. i think the 600 will be to slow for me within the first season. i like the 2008 r1 but idk i need some help. thanks for all of your help.. john

Yeah my R6 is too slow

get what you like man

[hessogood]

The 600 is way too slow. You probably need a motogp bike.

1st street bike?
a 600 is more than enough. Don't buy new either. chances are you will drop it or at least tip it over.

as far as which one is the best? some say Honda, some say Suzuki, etc. everyone has a favorite. Here is the one and only hard fast rule. There is no single Best bike out there. The best bike for you is the one you like the best, feel the most comfortable on and will allow you to ride to the best of your abilities...

Go for it - biggest difference is the torque - no need to work for it on a liter bike - power at all RPMs

[jdrolls]

im going to be geeting one in feb so do u think i should spend the 12000 and get a new 2008 bike?

save your money on a new bike...take the msf course, buy decent riding specific gear (min, helmet[make sure it is fiberglass not a plastic composite], jacket(with armor), gloves and boots. I would stay away from the newer 600's for a 1st bike, they are almost as powerful as the old school liter bikes.

there are tons of threads about this...try a quick search....

The 1st mod to your bike should be frame sliders.

[ku996r]

its not fast enough?

in what situation? street, track, drag strip.
I find it hard to understand 600 is not fast enough. I find my 636 has way more than what I need on streets.

[bigred875]

i thought this was your first bike....what kinda 600 do you have now?

and why dont you think it is fast enough?

[Tabby]

What do you have for a 600 now?? What is your definition of speed?? At this site there are tons of dudes that could REALLY educate you on the meaning of speed.

maybe you just suck

[Kham]

i think he's talking straight line doesn't feel fast. the smooth 06 zx10r engine doesn't feel fast. the duc 996 doesn't feel intimidated.

[bump909]

less gear = less weight = faster top speed

[ku996r]

get this M1 50th edition, real fast

[akira700]

Get a Hayabusa with NOS !

[l3uddha]

ahha nice avatar kham

[akira700]

Carlton that M1 looks like its made of painted cardboard!
What is that?

Yep, but add a big-bore kit and a turbo first.

If that's not fast enough, some jets show up on ebay from time to time.
