so heres the deal........ I bought my brand new K6 red/black 600. and had a sweet run with it since march.......... but i wrecked it on a bp wheelie into a hole in the road........ I LOVED MY BIKE. but it was a total..... im fully insured... so im getting a check for about 7000$........... im into stunting it........ go with buying a new k6 or buy an 04/05 gsxr 600 used........ if i go used i can insure only liability...... cheap....... and have more money for parts. But i bought a new bike because i really LOVE my bike...... and its the only bike i really want......my identical bike:YEAH

im torn emotionally.........lol

 

fragile bike, best bet is to get a honda cause they are harder to total.

 

Was it pretty easy for you to get you bike up.....can you ****** it straight up or are flyin to get it up?:YEAH

 

i clutched them up in 1st and second..... and powered them up in 1st if i wanted to....... it just took allot of getting used to on the 06. its built as a track bike , so the weight is set more toward the front to weigh the nose down. So its just allot of RPMS and some practice........

 

So about how high do you get the rpms?

 

i brought it up by ear more so....... but to bring them up smooth i like being at about 10-12 thousand RPM........ its gonna come up quick on ya.... be carefull. our bikes were designed as track bikes so all the weight is in the front. u have to wip it up!

 

I completly agree here. I have been riding my f4i and my friends 600rr all summer and i have been clutching up slow first gear wheelies straight to BP it took a while to get it down. Well my friend bought a 06 gsxr 600. He was having a lot of trouble getting it up at all i kept telling him around 6 grand and just stay on the throttle. But he could not do so i asked him if i could ride it. I jumped on it usually i do it by ear also so i did nothing the suspension stretched thats all. When i finally started to bring it up good i started looking at the tach it was around 9 grand i could not beleive it took so much.

 

see I gettin -1+2 on sprockets right now I'm going to see how that works out.....Hey have you guys seen any of the cages for these bikes or what I'm lookin but can't find sh** on them

 

FI just finished the cage for it but I don't know if 905 or anyone else has the new cages ready

 

i had the powers cage... and it was the best cage iv ever seen. it was tapered real nice so u could still turn with it.... and it took a beating like a mother ****er. and.............. i wont buy any other type of cage again!

 

ive ridden the 06 and dont like it as much as my 04-05 it comes up so much easier but if your ganns stand a suzuki up get a stunttex oil pickup tube

 

ive ridden a 06 gixxer too and i thought it was a turd below 10k rpms comparred to alot of other 600's

 

yeah they're power band is way to smooth

 

i read sport rider super streetbike and motor cyclist and they all raved about it

maybe they just hyped it all up but i was dissapointed

 

yea I bet those bikes are sweet on the tracks so im just gonna leave them there and just stick with the 04-05s I just wish the subframes were more scrape friendly

 

scraping isn't all that cool anyways.
