Need Help on new bike
Im shopping for a bike this weekend...dont know why but I like the 07 honda cbr600rr, white on silver. The other bike I want is like my old one, a 2007 gixxer750...sucks that their color scheme sucks...any big reasons why I shouldnt get the honda? Or the gixxer again? I got t-boned at a stop sign...totalled 750 '06. Insurance is buying me a new bike.

Re: Need Help on new bike
From what I've heard/read, the Honda has 750 power characteristics, and it's suppose to be a very smooth machine. It also has nice lines. I like 'em, but I haven't rode one, so get some more opinions...

Re: Need Help on new bike
Well my opinion is the gixxer750! I mean you say that honda is giving you that look you want but you dont want to be looking good at the back of the pack!Im not saying the honda dont run cuz all these new bikes are running my boi just got a 05 636 and my first bike was a 02 929 and that 636 would kill it. But idk its something bout those suzukis i mean they always been good running bikes.But again not taking nothing away from honda my co-worker has one of the new 600 and he love it but they just to quiet for me...lol Im with the GIXXER

Re: Need Help on new bike

Re: Need Help on new bike
We know that the rear peg position is only an OMR subcage away from being perfect..........but, as for the engine brake.........that sucks.
