whats more street friendly IE cruising around town, parking lot speeds, riding over potholes.

05 r6 or an 05 gsxr 600

please no flames on starting on a 600cc racebike

i sat on a 05 f4i and the seat was very uncomfortable so thats out of the question
unless i can get a slimmer seat

 

I would say the Suzuki. It has a steeting damper stock, so it would make that a bit more stable over bumps and ish.

I am tall, so the R6 felt a little more cramped to me too.

I'm just pointing out the comfort advantages. Have you sat and compared those bikes? You'll see what I mean.

 

oh sorry i thought you were being sarcastic

im a small guy 5'9 so a 600 is even a little big (almost on my tip toes)

i think out of all the bikes i sat on the r6 and gixxer felt the best

i kinda just want somthing easy to ride

dammit man. i spit water all over my laptop...

redline2001 - bikes feel different when you're sitting on them at the shop compared to when you're actually riding around. Some manufacturers used to have a different seat profile so that the bike would feel comfortable when you were trying it out on the showroom floor, but would suck after 5 miles in the saddle.

 

I honestly believe that the R6 is way more comfortable than the GSX-R. I used to own an R6 (03, but basically the same) and now i own a 05 GSX-R (750, but same as 600 seating) and i can definately tell the difference. the R6 is much more comfortable because of the angle of the seat. the gsx-r angles downwards and its really harsh on your *****! haha. When riding, i constantly have to readjust. I still love my gsxr though!!
