I think I sold my bike

[R7]

Can't go wrong with a tard Once they are set-up, they're cheap to run, cheap to insure, and a hell of a lot of fun

How about this

You forgot fast. Oh, no you didn't.

Those are great. Cycle World article on them this month.

I'm not sure it would be the ideal sole bike but I'd quite enjoy one as a backroad toy.

I vote SV but you said no nakeds due to cleaning issues. I can tell you now the naked SV is a piece of cake to clean, and I manage to keep mine spotless with minimal effort. They can be had for $4k in mint/low mi. condition, and with that other 2k you can do some very nasty mods to the suspension and get some touring gear as well.

If you want the sport look, you can do a new SV650S for less than your $6k budget, or do a low mile SV1000S likewise. The SV1k isn't as high strung as a liter I4, and where it does have power it's usable (so they tell me).

Here's an interesting tard:

FU............I think he should get a Duc..........not a Gixxuh VFR!

[slingblade]

SV1K. They have been letting them go for cheap leftover Still 'cheap' when you toss on the full fairings that are available. Look GREAT too!



Of the 600s (not "new" 05s) I have to go with the 600RR.

[MnM]

I would get the new 636....

[SVRACER01]

New Speed Triple!!!
or A Super Duke!!

Both very streetable, semi aggressive and loads of fun and chacter

i would have said ducati but he has 6 g's not 16. not all can pimp like you bizzatch.

[Kham]

ok who vote HONDA? :

[katana0215]

id go with the 636

[unionjackass]

New S3 or Superduke both awesome, I'd love one. But 6k won't buy either, and I don't think any amount of cash can buy a Superduke in the USA this year.

[akira700]

This bike seems to have gotten forgotten
with the introduction of the 600 RR
but what about its older brother...

its cheaper and with maybe less
aggressive ergos...

the Honda 600 F4i ?

[snowborder]

why buy one of those new when you can buy an RR for just about the same money and have a nicer looking faster and better resale. Nothing has change on the F4i in years. Not that it is a bad bike or anything but.....

The deal would have to be real sweet.

The Kwak dealer in NH came back at $7200 for the zx6-rr 2003

Still spendy for an '03 considering the improvements this year for the 636.

[Kham]

i just got the Kawasaki flyer and here's what marketing said about the new 636.

"The new ZX-6R is the most aerodynamic Ninja sportbike ever built - even more streamlined than the leading-edge ZX-10R."

im sold.

[SWEET_Z]

If comfort is a concern get the J2 ZX-6R/600R. Otherwise I vote for the 636 in that magma red color.

I've read the honda has a really tall first gear and is not comfortable at all because its so racy/tiny (relativley). Don't count the Yammi R6 out either. You could prob get a smokin deal on one because it's not a new model this year.

[snowborder]

so far the 600rr is winning in the poll. but most of the talk seems to be around the 636!!

[SWEET_Z]

Posers only have time to vote

[SwiftTone]

R6 seems like a good bike. Or a used 748, but there goes ur comfort.

[snowborder]

based on the poll I am buying this.

$7985 out the door.

[OreoGaborio]

did you at least go to a kwak & honda dealership & sit on each one & talk to a dealer about em?

you should also know that if you're planning on wrenching on your bike, Hondas are generally a COMPLETE PAIN IN THE ASS. i remember all the headachs that we had w/ an F4i down at VIR just doin simple stuff like coolant.

[snowborder]

sat on every bike. Like the GSXR the best, and the Kwak the least.

I have had a Honda for the last 4 years, not one problem. I had a Kwak for 2 years.... with problems.

pretty....

[richw]

You will all laugh but in OHIO a new
2005 FZ1 is 7400

If no Superduke next year then that is where I will end up. Complete painted factory lowers are another 500. Tuned 125 hp 74 ft pounds and yes heaven forbade an extra 70 pounds.
