Tiff's Shopping for bikes again! Need some insight! :)

Hey everyone!

So a few months have gone by since I sold my bike and I've been going through withdrawls.. and miss riding big time. So I talked to my bf yesterday and decided that I want to buy another.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions for my 2nd bike!

I had an 02 600 F4i. And I am thinking about getting a 600rr? Or an R6. Can everyone give me some opinions on the differences between those two bikes. I don't necessarily have to just get those I don't mind any other 600s. I loved my f4i though. hehe.

Any insight would be much appreciated!!

And.. if anyone knows of any for sale! let me know!!

Thanks everyone!

depending on your budget, id say another f4i would be the cheapest out of the three. but the 600rr and the r6 will be more track oriented. i personally like the 50th aniv r6 cause it looks so damn sexy

Go look at them and sit on 'em. See what fits you best and what appeals to you and your budget. I don't see how the average street rider would ever see any significant performance differences other than brand preference.

I'm partial to my ZX6R... and oh look, there's one for sale here.

I have 2 buddies selling decent bikes.

2001 CBR F4 w/21k Miles (very clean) in Keene NH - $4,000 OBRO

2004 R6 w/maybe 4k miles (also very clean but fell in driveway scratches on left side that are very minimal) In Elmira NY but will trailer to NH area for interested parties- $5500 obro.

how much lower do you think he'll go on that r6?

Turbo'd Kawasuckie ZX-14!!!!! Seriously I'd get another F4I. That's what my first bike was and I enjoyed it a lot except its color!

It's not an overly expensive 600cc bike. if I was you I'd wait it out till Sept, Oct if possible. EVERYONE is going to be selling bikes. You'll have a better selection and might find better deals.

I'll say with some serious confidence that he would most likely go down to $5k. It is a nice bike but please go sit on one before making him trailer it to the area, His wife is VERY pregnant now and i would feel bad making him come here for tire kickers. If you like the feel of the r6 then definitely buy this one.
