Default Need help deciding

Please help me decide which bike to get!
1. 2003 Honda CBR 600rr $5,900 obo
Pros: 3,200 miles, nice black color
cons: 600cc
2. 2003 Honda 954rr $6,300 obo
Pros: 954cc, nice grey/black combo
cons: 10,000 miles

Both prices are negoiatable, but i haven't decided on exactly what price I want to stick to on either bike so if you have a suggestion, I'd apprecaite it.

a lot. My last bike was a 1000rr (sold). The only reason I'm considering that 600 is because its in my price range and its clean.

I absolutly love the 954 personally. I like it MUCH more than the 1000RR...

That mileage isn't too bad for the 954, especially when you can negotiate it. I like the graphite and black colors on the 954 , my fav color combo..

I couldn't vote...mileage vs displacement. 400 dollars isnt that much of a difference.

Consider the fact he is in nevada...Now ive never been to las vegas (all around it but never through it) but to me it seems VERY straight, lots of highway speeds, not alot of mountain twisties...therefore i personally would get the 954 if the insurnace price allows you to...highway speeds on a 600 get irritating after a while riding at screaming high rpms...

doesn't the 954 weigh the same, if not less, than the 600rr?

i love the 954...but the only thing that bugs me is how the RR is huge on the side.

Alright just makin' sure you aren't some kid that thinks you can handle a 954 as a first bike if you "take it easy"

I voted 954RR
