I'm thinking now about an R6 as there is a 2002 one in a shop near me, in blue, with 800 miles, datatag, posh alarm. £4500. Sound good?

I live in a raural area so the R6 is hopless round here terry GSXR had a go on one and a ZX6R and ended up getting the zx it has better allround abilities round here R6's have very sharp turn in etc so you might find it a bit of a handfull , all i can say is try it , they have a manic engine though

Ifound being fat made the bike a bit un comphy tank sticks out and made me a bit cramped i only done about an 8 mile round trip on the r6 and found you could hold it in a lower gear a bit longer than the zx6r but i did feel very un stable on long bends as the front felt like it was going to come up but hey you might like that i think were i live is a good place to test bikes as there are not many straights so you can learn how to chuck bikes around but i still smashed my tl up i think the r6 does look the bollocks and is worth a go at the end of the day always try before you buy and if the dealer does not allow go to a another dealer i think there one insurance group higher than all the others in the 600 class i could be wrong thow

That is a very good price had a look about and seems very cheap i wonder if its an import not that it matters much nice colour too bikes are getting a bit cheaper as chrismas gets closer also there is new models coming out worth waiting you may see even cheaper ones about but go for it if you cant wait

I think i will run the gsxr an till it falls apart i think i might save up for a porsche 911 loads around for less than £5000 but you no a car will never be as good as a bike have to spend alot more on a car to get the same peformance as a sports bike but hey you can have fun trying also i want something to polish as i cant stand being in the house with the misses all night

hi there i passed my das in january 2002, easy test did 3 day course brilliant instructors, i then bought a zx6r j2, absolutely amazing bike for about a week i rode it nice and gently doing the novice thing sweeping roundabouts you know the usual, ahem then i decided i needed to push my self a little bit more,shit my pants but brilliant is all i can say you do need to get used to it becuase when you really put the power on its goes like a rocket trust me you need to be gentle front wheel up all over the place hehe its a forgiving bike id say, had a few close calls with white van man (how can they not see me bright green bike and a bright yellow helmet) i would say its a very good beginner sports bike good luck and remember green is faster :-)
