next racing bike

Hi ,

I am trying to choose my next bike few month in advance while saving for it.

I really like to get R6 but also like GSXR.
I don't know different bike models that well. I know Honda CBR which R may stand for racing as it is fully faired.

if you were me and wanted to chose the next bike, which super sport or racer bike would you go far in budget of around 3 to 5k which has a good handling and speed.

I currently ride fazer 600 and also have a 125 bike

many thanks

Take off the mirrors and tape up the headlight up. Then do some trackdays to see if you like it.
Later on, and if you make it into the advanced group I'd suggest buying a ________ and tyre warmers to go with it.

They're all as good as each other, buy the one you like the look of.

GSX-R
CBR-RR
YZF-R
Daytona

Just pick the one you think looks the best

How if I don't own it ?

to be honest, my heart is with R6 but heard that GSXR does better at speed but don't know how true that is

What's your budget and what years are you looking at?

3-5 k but can push to 6k. I like something that is good looking. for instance, I like the new Yamaha from 2005 onward I think . old one looks ok but prefer the new shape thus why increased my budget

I am not going to ride it as 150 miles but just asked as I will get there at some point when at tracks

Have you ridden on track before?

I'd personally buy something cheap like a beat up zx6r and use that for a track bike. At least then it means if I crash it then I wouldn't be throwing £6000 down the shitter.

All the current crop of 600's are fantastic bikes, unless you are a very capable rider/racer you won't be able to work out the best based on performance as they are very closely matched.

Saying that they all feel different to ride and deliver power in diferent ways so I'm sure if you were to test ride them all you'd find a preference.

May preference would be the Kawasaki though I'm biased as a "kawa man" close second would be the 675.

Thumbs Up

I'm surprised this thread is still 'normal'. Smile

Random13. Have you been on track yet? ...So you've not been on track yet. So do a trackday on your bike and if you're addicted to them then you'll have a better idea of what bike you want.

I think OP is just another weekend warrior, and by "racing bike" he means a sports bike. And is yet just another rossi wannabe with no idea

I'm getting the distinct feeling that any of the bikes you choose are going to be wasted on you.[/quote]

you may be right but soon will get there. who can claim that they use the bike to its full potential
