Ok, i am thinking about buying a 2001 Suzuki GSXR600 it has 3800. price is $2900
this is my frist bike so i am looking for some opinions.

and pics (not the bike but looks the same)

 

$2900 is a good price. Is there anything wrong with it?

The Gix6 is a sporty 600. It might not be easy to learn on, but it can be done.

Did you budget for gear?

 

Price is really low. Where did you find this bike?

yes, money is really not the issue. i could have a new bike if i wanted it. i really just want something fun to learn on.

 

i was also considering a 2003+ yamaha r6? would that be a better buy? easier to learn on? etc?

 

for me, since im kinda smaller, the r6 were alot easier. depending on your size, the r6 are alot thinner than those gsx-r. i started off with a 2000 r6. good beginners bike imo

 

That's a really good price. Have fun and be safe.

 

Bike seems to be priced really low. I'd be careful, but if you know the guy go for it.

 

Yes.... another what should I do thread.... I love these!

No, I'd rather learn on a 3k bike than a 6k bike.

my feeling exactly. however, i like the feel of the r6 a lot better. i am a little bit small (ie a girl ). maybe i will just get a older r6.

i also took that into consideration and he really wants new mustang and he thinks i can help him on price (i can but not really, they pretty much sell for sticker)
