I've done all the numbers for months now, this isn't just a on a wim thing, I have wanted a bike since before I even had my regular drivers license. Now that I am a bit older, and a bit more "mature" I guess you could say, it would be a bit safer for me to get one. Back when I was 16 or 17, no way would I get on one, would kill myself. My parents and I have been talking about this idly for a while probably about 6 months, and now that things are wrapping up with legal work for the trust, it is going a bit farther, and we are starting to look into getting one for me.
i have ridden them all, r6 is excellent cant go wrong, suzuki paid a lot of money for riders on race day and a lot more on research and development, dont get sucked in on that 69 a mo. 24 mo. thing i finance bikes, atvs, pwc the 25 th month will have you wetting yourself. after all it is a visa card. r6 is more nimble in the turns, smoother on throttle, gsxr is better for the stunts, wheelies

whatever mate . i have a busa with the same wheelbase as gxer 1000. its a street fighter turbo with over 300 hp i dont have it to compromise for anything i have it for the thrill of going past speeds your little bike could only dream of going.infact a busa could wheel spin past a 600 ..and about a gxer or r6. ... i would save a bit more cash and go for one of the 1000. i know its your first big bike but it will only go as fast as you want it to. there is know point in going for a 600 catching the bike bug then want something bigger/. more cash good luck with what ever you do

I'm not into the stunts at all, wheelies are cool, but I have no desire to ride one past 45-50 mph. Stunting is a great way to lose your skin, and total a bike.
even then you flam the busa or should i say busa riders . have you even had a go on one. there not a racing bike there a sport touring bike. there just as happy at slow speeds as going fast. and they do them better then any 600.Circa4190;3333948; said:
It is good sir, but if you think about it, 1300cc is a bit much. I agree that they are sick bikes, but most people get them for the wrong reasons.
ok this thread is going from R6 vs Gsx to a witch hunt on whos talkin smack about busa's.. who cares a persons opinion is there opinion... he wants to kno bout which bike is better side comments and opions are fine but stop the arguing , some of you guys own busa's and like em.. congrats now help him choose between the 2 bikes he asked about and stop turning this into the hayabusa defense orginization..
