hello everybody im a 19 year old college student who has been riding for about 3 years now. i have an 05 rebel and i think it may be time to get something a little bit bigger. even though ive had my bike for 3 years ive only put about 1K miles on it. where i live riding in the summer and the winter is not a fun thing to do so all i have is fall and spring. for a while now i have been wanting a cbr 600. i cant decide if i want an rr, and f4i or maybe even an f2, they are kind of sexy. ive got 4500 and not a penny more. insurance is not a problem because ive got someone to pay for it yay im spoiled. let me know what yall think. thanks

If you're spoiled, I'd hope that you could spend more than 4500.

For that cash, I'd look into an '05-06 ZX6R.

I personally would buy an 800SS. Any 600RR for that price is going to be pretty thrashed.

 

well the person who supports me wont buy me a new bike just pay for insurance. ive made 4500 working and all i can think about buying is a cbr because they look so good. and im very prejudice about bikes and i absolutely hate ninjas, any other bike im cool with but i definitely want a sport bike

Ok, so what did you think of the 800SS?

 

isnt that a ducati? arent they really expensive? what year are you thinking about and whats the price range?

 

Go with an F3.

Take the leftover $ from 4500 and pay for your own insurance.

 

I dunno that $4500 will bring you a lot more fun and joy with hookers and blow then some crappy bike.... just my $.02

Only with cheap hookers and cheap blow

 

or good blow and cheap hookers. wtf is up with blow and hookers? im trying to get some honest feedback peeps

 

You can find some nice CBR's for about 4500 on fireblades.org in their motorcycle for sale sections. Most of them are 929 and 954 but they do have some 600's in there.. most of them are nice and already modded so there is some good deals. Usually the bikes are about year range of 00-03 CBRs which I think looks pretty cool.

 

awesome website thanks for the help, i think i want to have your babies

 

yea i agree get a zx-6 better for the price and are after and a bit bigger.. the 600rr's are always more expensive

 

for 4500 id get a really clean f4i or pick up an f3 and use the extra cash for mods and maint.

 

if you spend your hard earned money on a zx6, you'll be spending even more of your hard earned money on repairs/replacement parts/manuals/shop labor/etc

get an old f2 or f3 in good shape and call it a day. you could even find a nice f4i if you're patient enough

 

You can get an F4 for that price range. My 2000 was 3500ish (can't remember exactly).

And why can't you ride in the summer? 1K miles over three years is NOTHING.

 

i know but riding a 250cc cruiser gets old after a while, i cant ride in the summer because its 90 + every day and i just dont feel safe riding it on highways. now if i had a 600 or greater i wouldnt be scared of getting hit by someone who doesnt see me on that tiny begginer/ old guy bike

I ride a 675...and I'm petrified of getting hit by car. I don't know why you wouldn't worry about it on a SS.

well think of it this way if you will, you know when your driving your car and you hear that guy with the loud *** exhaust and you look around to see where he is and what hes got, compared to when you look over next to you when your about to change lanes only to see a chump on a moped, i feel like im the chump on the moped " * no disrespect to guys on mopeds*

I'm about as materialistic and shallow as a person can be, And even I don't give a **** what I look like to others. As long as I'm safe, I'm not worried.

I'll be honest, if I was in my car, and looked left, and saw you on an '08 600RR (presumably your dream bike...) I'd laugh at you like you were on a 25cc moped. Then again, I don't see much difference between the two.

 

The only part about freeway riding on a small bike that would bug me would probably be gusty winds or being at my max speed the whole time.

Just because you have a big/shiny/loud bike doesn't mean you can assume cars will notice you.

 

ive hit some gusty winds on my porky vfr and it through me over into the next lane in seconds, now on a 600 its like damn, u better be paying attention when a nasty wind blows through

 

i dont really care that much about it being shiny new or whatever but for some reason i just feel safer when someone can hear me if they cant see me. id rather be heard if not seen than not heard or seen. im not trying to be a douche im thinking about it safety wise. because i have about a 100 miles to travel every other weekend on a turnpike with a speed limit of 75(which means everyone goes 85) and guess what guys ??? i live in oklahoma we get really nasty winds here. thats why they call us tornado alley. for you guys living on the west coast think of it as the santa ana winds for 6 months of the year

 

Honestly I think being seen is more important. Unless a bike is a straight-pipe Harley or redlining I often have a hard time hearing it. But when I see the dude in the bright red jumpsuit, I pay attention. Others might disagree though.

 

the only thing that would scare me about riding a 250 on the hwy is the fact that its slow and you cant
get away from cagers as easily.
