1000RR VS 600RR - Page 2

I do care about the Price as I got a high mortgage to pay...a wife and 2 kids...2 '04 cars...2 bikes..and NY happens to be one of the most expensive places to live so while you don't care, it matters a helluva lot to me that I can have just as much fun at a much smaller portion of the price(bike and insurance) that you pay!

Im with Peejay on this one.

Anyone that could seriously have any speed contests with the 600 vs 1000 is trippin. Less money out the door, more money aftermarket, 6's could dominate. Second Ive ridden almost every line of bikes. Me and my roomates have 4 different 6's and my friends all have 750's, 954's, 1000's and Ive ridden them all. The funny thing is, everyone that rides my bike, says they would only go honda on their next purchase. I have talked 20-30 different ppl out of their 1000's into a 6 due to the benefits of a 6 rather than the extra 20mph of a 1000, and a bulkier setup. Plus that ESD that the 05 has is JUNK. Plus, not much you can do on a thousand rather than goin fast.

I have a guy here that got a 04 R1 for like 3 g's from this idiot, and wants to trade it STRAIGHT ACROSS FOR A 05 6RR.... For track reasons.... Now I wonder why?

I think the HYPE about 1000's is BLOWN COMPLETELY OUT OF PROPORTION...

Save the money from the 1k, and spend it on the 6, and you got yourself a bike thats just as quick, and looks better ;), oh and HANDLES BETTER.

" I have a guy here that got a 04 R1 for like 3 g's from this idiot"...Damn!! why can't I find a deal like that?? If you are gonna get a liter that is light and unfrigginbelievably fast, The R1 is the animal!

Heres another ball bustin deal.

Friends boss, bought a 05 gsxr 7 at the same time as my friend. put 216 miles on it, laid it down goin like 15mph and put the peg through his foot. Sold the bike for like 5g's straight up lol... WITH ALL PURCHASED WARRANTEES, GAP, THEFT THE WORKS LOL...

Oh, no one knew about this sale until it was gone. 1 day someone swooped it up :(

I wanted it too :(

Yeah, I just bought the 600RR about a week ago, and I love it--It really is quite dynamic and I, for one, admit that the bikes limits are higher than mine... and maybe the 1000 just intimidates me a little bit (but just maybe ) But, I came really close to buying the 1000RR. Somehow I rationalized that the 600 was more practical, but I realize that this is a b/s argument--a sportbike is probably the least practical way that I could possibly have spent $8000-11000. I guess in the end that I just decided that enough was enough for me, this was more power and performance than I was capable of using anyway and that I just didn't want to spend more... but I am full of crap! I give myself one season and I am swapping it for a new 1000

You'll think differently if you keep getting pulled over and ticketed a couple of times...I just got pulled over today and now my points are gonna go up Imagine if I were on a 1000...knowing me, I'd be put in jail!! THIS SUCKS...COP TOLD ME HE HATES MY BIKE AND NEXT TIME HE'S GONNA SLAP THE CUFFS ON ME!!...He said he actually lives a couple of blocks away from me and he's gonna be watching me Maybe I should just get a big ,slow, comfortable Harley Cruiser

...Thanx Gregg, That contains a lot of useful info that I never would've known!

I'm sure your 6 is capable of doing all of 160-165. A couple of weeks ago, myself ('01 929RR), a buddy ('03 GSX-R 750) and another buddy ('98 R1 w/mods) were flying down some back winding roads with a few 1.5 mile straightaways. At one point, the 750 took off (since he knew the route and we didn't). After the conversation after the ride, it was found that he got up to 176mph. But by the time he got up to that speed, the R1 and I (929) flew past him like he was going in reverse. I would guess we were a lot higher than the 185 you think the 1000RR will do.

Check out this deal (probably bs but interesting):

CBR1000RR

Hmmm, guess it was bs afterall! It was a 2004 with 3oo miles for $3200!
