new r6 vs new gsxr
 

what does everyone think about the new r6 vs the new gsxr 600? value comparison? personally i think the r6 looks way better than a gsxr and was thinking of getting one next year. i'm going to use it the most on the street with some track days. cbr6rr's are too expensive for me right now so i was thinking the r6. any opinions are helpful
thanks

A few nights ago I was talking to a guy who had been racing almost as long as I have been living. You really cant go wrong with either..but since I own an 06 r6 Ill be biased. I have had the chance to ride both the 06 gixxer 600 and of course mine and they are both awesome machines for the track.

BTW, the racer had a honda cbr 600..a 05 I believe. He said he would trade for my R6 straight up.

Re: new r6 vs new gsxr
 

i think the gixxer is way better looking. never really been a fan of yamaha except for the r1 back in the day.

Re: new r6 vs new gsxr
 

Both are sickly fast bikes, both suck for stunting. Enough said.

I like stunting a lot..just not any good at it. Every now and then Ill practice clutching it up but I dont want to mess up my minty r6. Im thinking about buying a beater bike just for the fun of it. Dont plan on getting good, just to have some fun with.

Oh yah, get an R6 for the track..you wont be dissapointed

Re: new r6 vs new gsxr
 

i have riden both and hate the gixers, i own the 05R6 but its a completely different bike that the 06 for sure. a buddy of mine has been riding and racing for over 20 years and will smoke anyone i know, he says the new R6 is by far the best track bike hes ever been on in his life, and he owns an 06 Gix1K, 06 Gix750, 06 R6, 04 Goldwing, 03 FZ1, 05 CRF450R, you get the idea. neither one is any good for stunting but for track R6 all the way.

P.S. the new R6 and the New CBR600RR are only about 200 dollars difference in Price, i hope your not comparing the 06 R6S to the 06 Gix 600, in that case for track youd want the Gix, S Model R6 doesn't have inverted forks anymore which you'll want for the track. Stuntin yeah R6S

You know quite a few guys that don't ever drop their bike when they are stunting?

Tell them to pull up their skirts and try something risky... skitching off the back doesn't cut it. :LOL

Re: new r6 vs new gsxr
 

maybe the way gixxers coming out of the factory they arent that good for stunting.. but can you tell me WHAT the bad thing is about gixxers that a honda doesn't have ?! what if i should reinforce the subframe on a 07 gsxr,change the oil thing so that it never runs without oil..what the hell could possible go wrong then..yeah if ya smack it full speed against the asphalt it's probably broken..every bike with a little bad luck...i stunt gixxers for 4 years now.. i don't do circles yet, but i do wheelies for miles on highways, slow 12's, endos, etc.. the only thing i didn't do are circles ! and guess what.. i only chrashed 1 time in my life..while doing a superfast donut, so it didn't hit the ground very hard.. so the only problem that should possible go wrong is that the bike is gonna fall apart while crashing it while doing 12's or other shit like circles... am i right ?! you experts tell me because me as a european guy don't know shit about stunting like you guys do ! :)
