ichiro

probably a Honda crotch rocket. will bikes be as useable as a car? i mean like, will the engine survive for as many miles as a car engine? can i drive it all the time? or are bikes more like a occasional thing to do?

honda cbr 600rr owns you

it will be useful when you move to cali cause you can cut thru traffic.. but during the rainy season youre gonna die.. socal drivers suck at teh driving in the rain h:

thats the one i was looking at getting. i drove a hayabusa before. fawking fast, but really, i dont need to be super fast. i dont want to hurt myself. how does a 600rr compare to a 99 hayabusa?

reech-around

the hayabusa is fast as hell in a straight line, but it's heavy and slower around corners. besides, how often are you gonna try to hit 200mph??

a sportbike is nowhere near as useful as a car. there's no storage space (besides your phone and wallet) and the riding position will wear you down after a few hours.

50,000 miles is pretty high for a bike, almost equivalent to 100k on a car. i rarely see sportbikes with more than 30k though (not because the motors blow up, but because they're usually wrecked within a few years).

street riding in urban areas is wicked. i would only ride again if i lived out in the country.

idk never ridden on a cbr 600rr.. ive rode on a yamaha 600cc bike and that was pretty cool considering i was sitting in the back.. i need to learn how to drive a bike

rode this kids 600 cbr, hated it actually, i like my 1200zzr way more, also attempted to ride a 700gsxr but my friend wouldnt let me take it out of the parking lot



could be because im kinda tall and small bikes are hard for me to ride.... the honda was perfect for that kid tho, hes only like 5'8

if u have to ask for a hayabusa or 600rr...then i dont think ure serious bout riding...

if u do decide to buy one...get a used bike and start small..

ichiro

well, ive riden bikes before. i know how to ride one perfectly well. i dont know exactly what you're saying though. i just dont know much about the mechanics or life of a bike, cause ive never owned one

Kevin

u should know that one is intended for track use and the ride is quite uncomfortable...
the hayabusa on the other hand is more of a touring longdistance travel bike...

two are pretty different from each other imo..


ive ridden bikes too <in fact...i have one>
but that doesnt mean that i can handle liter bikes on a daily basis..

Kevin

btw...i might sound discouraging to u...
but i just dont wanna see or hear anyone on this board gets injured or killed riding a bike..
riding in cali busy streets isnt the same as riding in the countries
