So yeah, I'm in the market for a new(er) sport bike and I was wondering opinions on them. I have a couple choices in first bikes, all 600's (at least until I get used to two wheels, then come the liter bikes).

I'm short too 5'8 so I'd have to lower the bike about an inch or so, also looking for a bike that performs in the turns and also isn't hard to ride on long trips and in traffic.

I'm undecided so I decided to post up a few that I like.

Suzuki GSX-R 600
Honda CBR600RR
Kawasaki 636
Yamaha R6

Also like the way the Triumph Daytona's look, although haven't had a chance to sit on one.

Personally I like the CBR's and the R6's, I think they are both NICE looking bikes, although the 636's look good, and the new GSX-Rs are nice, even though EVERYONE has them here.

Thoughts?

 

id say start off with an SV650S if your into looks, they are clean lookin bikes IMO, especially when you get them fully faired. the 03+ i would say would be your best choice cause you get more suspension adjustment, and slightly more power and 50-55mpg consistantly on them. only downfall is for some, that it isnt fast enough because its a 70hp vtwin. but thats kinda the beauty of them, great all around bikes, handle very well, and it purrs like a kitten in city driving at 4000rpm

 

Daytona 675. Talk to Drewster, he'll hook you up with a good deal and great service.

 

How are the Daytona's? I've heard they are REAL nice bikes but how is the pricing? Comparable to the others?

I'm thinking of going used more than new though...

The Daytona is winning all the SuperSport magazine shootouts in pretty much every country.

 

as a honda lover and owner. i too suggest this bike as a great starter bike. i know a few people that have them and they are great all around bikes. torquey too.

 

I am not to sure about Triumph's reliability. My fiancee bought her 1st bike a few months ago...it's a Kawasaki Ninja 650R. Let me tell you it is a great bike....Very low seat, nice high handle bars, full bodywork, a fuel-injected 650cc engine....you might want to check it out.

 

Like I tell everyone that has these ?'s...They are all fast bikes. Sit on them all and one of them will begin to grow on you! Good luck on your purchase!
