Alright, I need some help here. I've got an 00 R6 and my second gear is blown to ****. It will cost about $1300 to fix it, so I'd rather just sell it and get something else. I'm lookin at a 98/99 Kawi-ZX-7R, 99/0-R1, or a 99/00 Gsxr 750. I haven't rode any of these yet, and although i plan to, I'm curious to see what you guys have to say about these. I'm looking for a well balanced, stabe bike, that comes up smoothly. If there is anything else, that the the manufactured screwed up on, such as Yamahas second gear in the R6, with any of these bike, that info would be well appreciated.

 

or you could get a used engine off ebay for 600

 

Well if you're paying $1200, you're getting stroked. But get a 750 anyways.

 

my first pick would be a honda, but if you cant get a honda, I'd go with the gixxer 750.

 

As far as workin on the Gsxr, is it pretty easy? I've taken my R6 apart and its simple compared to my brothers 00 F4. Taking off the subframe on that is a total bitch. He's gettin the bike chromed, it should look sik, but its pain in the ***. so why the Gsxr 750 over the R1?

David P.O.B- what kind of honda are you suggesting?

 

Gixxers 4-Life! or if worst comes worst I would settle for a 9 to 9er, or a 900 dubba urrr

 

R1=TINFOIL

 

tinfoil huh? the frame? specifically what don't you like about it? I heard its got a light front end so its harder to balance, for whatever thats worth.

 

problem with the r1 is the frame is one solid piece. no seperate subframe. so if you crash hard, or bend the subframe too bad, you have to buy a completely new frame to make it completely perfectly again versus just buying the subframe as it is on the gsxr or honda.

i would suggest a 929 or a 900 RR. I have founf that you can beat the absolute crap out of a honda and it just keeps running. my first bike was a gsxr and i had way more problems out of it than i have out of my honda. just my opinion.

 

HONDA 900rr 93 94, is my pic ,but for the money gsxr is the one I'd get

 

Kelly, what do you like about the 93/94 900rr. Does that bike have problems given that its 9 years old? Bikes are becomeing lighter and more powerful the newer they get, from my understanding.

 

yup the gsxr 750!!!!

 

SWURVE, HEY MAN ,A lot of people till me the same thing,I say I've always liked my bike to be almost to big and heavy for me. I had a 91 gsxr 750 big and fast, they're not making them that way now. I have a 93 900rr now, I like the wheelbase for stunts, and it keeps up with the new ones. I'm building that motor up. Its got the 99 919 motor in it, it's faster than before and I'm still able to stunt it.
MARRIED GUY:YEAH :YEAH

 

SO why does eveyone have such a hard-on for the 750's, What about the 1000's? F it, I'll just go ride one and find out.

 

this is the age old question. But the R1 is crap.

can debate all day w/ the honda's & zuki's.

PERSONAL PREFERENCE! Ive seen rodge CC stunt a Moped, so anything can be rocked.

 

GSXR all the way!!

 

Gixxer gets my vote.... 929 or 750 for me next year!!!!

Kawi is too heavy.. and the R1 are junk!!!



Just my opinion!!! and

 

What about the GSXR 1000?

 

honda all the way no kawi they at tanks

 

HONDA's take a lickin and keep on tickin. Its all about personal preference though. Go ride them and pick what you feel the most comfortable on. Just my
