Looooooooong story short........

Buying a new bike ( well second hander anyway ) - i have the opportunity to look at either a ...

99 reg ( w? ) CBR6OOfx - £1700

or an S reg GSXR 600 SRAD - £1600

Both in good nick with avg ' miles .

i'm looking for opinions on what others would choose , i'm leaning toward the CBR but it's lack of MOT ( 1 month left ) is a bit of a put off .

What do you think ?

p.s this will be a follow on bike from the VFR400 i was riding

SRAD is more extreme, riding position is harsher and its harder to live with I thought anyway and bought the CBRFX

The CBR is possibly the dullest bike ever.
Get the SRAD - but don't ruin it with a tarty polished frame/swinger/pegs and dirty white wheels like matey has.

The Beyonce / J Lo styling of the SRAD is a clear winner Thumbs Up

I agree that the CBR just looks plain Jane.

Depends what you want.

CBR - well built, boring.

SRAD - More nutty, will fall to peices.

(Ive had both)

By the way, go for a 750 if you have the srad, minimal more to insure (1 thinks its only one insurance group).

Its got upside down forks, about 30 bhp more, only wieghts about 20kg more, has got braided hoses, 6 pot brakes.

Exactley the same frame and body works as the 600.

Its a beast.

Fair enough.

I own an 750 srad currently, I owned a CBR prior to that.

The standard of finish is no where near that off the CBR, i prefer the srad tho. Just not looking forward to keeping it outside and riding it through the winter.

I likes me centre stand, since it makes chain/rear wheel work so much easier, my centre stand on my NTV is kinda pointless though has no chain.
