maybe going R6

[ri-gixxer]

I found a good deal on a 2008 for $6999, left over 0 miles, my last 2 bikes have been you guest it (gixxers) on 98/04' I though maybe I'll buy a R1 but is really a lot of power that i wont use, I like cruising and getting my leaning angle partice on the back roads of southcoast mass, im into a different kind of riding thanks to you guys, no posing for me, not into doing 160mph on 95, so I will like to get your personal opinion or thoughts on this bike, ive been reading on the r6 forum, but there opinion are very biased of course. I figured to be paying 4/5k for a use bike, I might buy this one, yes I love my gsxr's, maybe you guys can change my mind! thanks

there is an 08 R6 for sale on here with 1,000 miles and a good amount of upgrades (full exhaust, bazzazz, etc) for $8k. might want to look into that instead of buying the same bike all stock for $1k less

[butcher bergs]

Hard to balk at a 0 mile, factory-original bike that's 2 years old.

Def can't stunt on foolz as well on a yamahaha than a gixxah.

I fault your logic...

[scubasteveRR]

I'd say go for it, never ridden the R6 but when I way buying it was between the 600RR and the R6

[tWeEzy]

hurry up and buy!

You can't go wrong with any of the modern 600's. Base your choice on Style and Price unless you're completely brand loyal. I have owned 2 R6's and really enjoyed them.

So you think a used bike with a bunch of add ons is worth more than a brand new one? Maybe if the used one was a year or 2 newer is agree with you.

I had an 08 R6 before, overall is an awesome bike. Very easy on corners and have very good mid range and unbelievable top end for a 600. I say go for it, you won't be disappointed.

the saying that mods dont add any value is bullshit. Id probably go with the modded bike, cause I would want to put those mods on anyway

Depends on the buyer. But for me, I'd go with the stock brand new bike any day as long as it is going to be a street bike. It's a grand LESS!

I went that route last year. Twice.

[Jim]

with only a thousand miles, i'd make an offer on that used bike to buy it for the same price as the new leftover

[MysteriousR1]

Buy new when you can. Sounds like you have a good deal there. Buying new lets you know just how that motor was treated, because everything will be done by you. Buying used theres a chance your just buying a promblem bike that the owner does not want to deal with anymore.

[Pigman]

BOO NO go GSXR.....but thats me

[CMG241]

look up blue book of an 06 R6, thats what it will be worth the very next day after you buy it.

[j4eric]

you'll have to change your forum name to ri-rsixxer.....i'd say go for it...trying a different brand is all good.

[ri-gixxer]

I'm going to pass on the yamaha is a good deal, but i've come to realize that I just love my suzukis, I would hate to buy a bike now, to later on find myself head turning every time I see what I really wanted, ride by, thanks for the input,btw I'm really feeling the Tillers right now! never rode one tho. v-twin huh... can you guys help a member out...

[JohnnyV]

I went from a gsxr 600 to a TLR and loved every moment of it. It is not for everyone though...

It is a fat ass pig of a bike. They stopped making it in '03 so finding a low mileage, unmolested example is getting more and more difficult. The few months that I owned my TLR for before an old man totalled it for me was the most fun I have had since I started riding in '02. You really have to ride one to understand the appeal.

[ri-gixxer]

I found these 2, what to lookout for?

Both look like fairly decent deals. Couldn't see the damage mentioned in the first one in the pictures so it depends on how bad it is. Mark(TLRMan) has a wealth of knowledge with these bikes and if you go that route he is definitely worth getting in contact with for a day of tuning.
