    WTB: 600 Sportbike

    I'm looking for a 600cc Sport Bike, preferably a R6 (non S) or CBR. I would also consider GSXR or ZX6R as well.

    I would like the years to be around the '05 to '06 range. A little older is ok but above '06 the bike will likely be out of my price range.

    I'm located in Newtown CT which is in the southwest area of the state. I will be paying cash.

    Let me know what is available.

    Thanks.

    You may know this already but as far as the R6, you say 05-06 (non S)....
    an 05 R6 is the same (almost) as the 06+ R6S, the 06 R6 is the new style.
    For what it's worth, the 05 R6 is said to be a little better than the 06+ R6S.

    Good luck and good choice on a bike

    Thanks for the heads up. From what I understood from some of the research I did the 05 R6 had the newer usd forks and front brake setup compared to the '04 or '06 + S models. That was the reasoning behind that.

    I still have my 05 R6 also... http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/...yamaha-r6.html

    You are right 05 has upside down forks and radial calipers vs the 03-04 with the std forks and reg. calipers.
