...good to buy? I've been trying to read up many sections that discuss this but it's never fully clear to me. I'm gonna be a new rider and I'm definitely gonna be getting either a cbr 600 or R6. No debate. I know I could start with 500 or lower but I'm not going to so don't bother telling me otherwise.. I'm taking a motorcycle course and have friends to help me with my skills so if I die.. I die and I understand that. With that said.. I'm gonna be riding on the street... highway/ city mainly for fun. I love cruising and at the same time impressing the girls. Once my skills are there I'll be practicing wheelies and stuff like that. I really love the look of the new Yamaha R1 but I've been hearing the power delivery was not as abrupt as some expected. The low end is quite sedate and then after 5000 rpm it really starts pulling. As for the CBR 600, I hear it's smooth power all the way up. I don't really understand what all this means. I don't know if I'll even notice the difference by the time I ride.
sorry I meant I love the look of the new R6 ...
Gixxers are alright... but I personally love the R6 .. and I hear nothing but good things about CBR's
I won't have my license for a few months since I lost my regular drivers license due to having some drinks in my system.. (don't worry I'll respect the bike 100%) I know the only way to really know is to actually get on and ride .. but I always hear different things about each bike. What's with this sedate thing with the R6? and how about the CBR being stiff? I'm sorry I am a noob so I'm looking for enlightenment from the pros. Do you honestly think I'll notice the difference between the 2 bikes considering I'm new... and even after a few months of riding on a regular?
