okay this is the thing with me i like things that alot of people dont have in the sense that i like to be unique. i want to get a 600cc bike but i dont kno what bike to choose. I hav been to the dealerships n checked out alot of bikes. I really like japanese bikes but the thing is that everyone has one so i choose to go with euro bikes instead not as common. I was looking at the triumphs they really got my attention. i guess what i am tryin to say is that i want a porsche bike in the sense that not everyone has it. but the thing also is that i dont hav the money to buy a ducati n shit . so if anyone hav any suggestions on a kick ass bad ass looking sport bike that is fucken backed up by name and also some what known by riders then let me kno of what bikes they might be THANK YOU SO MUCH thanks yall

Er, every one with a bit of cash has a porche, mostly because they are un-educated to a decent car and believe if they own a porche that everyone will like them. i.e. they are just show off that buy the car just to pose in all because it's a porche.

Everyone with any sense would go for something like an Aston Martin or a Lotus etc. Much better Wink Although the ferrari 360 spider is one of the nicest cars going.

Anyway, bike wise, theres not a great deal really, a triumph daytona 600 would be your best bet unless you go for an older model CBR600 or something but they're just as popular as the newer bikes etc.

Well on 600cc bikes you are basically looking at cbr, gsxr, zzr then like daytona's it depends what you are going to be using it for you're experience the price you want to spend etc.

You want to avoid the zzr if you want a sports 600.

Just because he is looking at a bike does not mean it will be suitable for what he wants it for I am pointing out his differant options.

If you want to be unique, don't get a 600. Everyone has one.

Go for a mental stroker if you want people to look at you and say "oh look, there goes a cocksucker. Doesn't he feel special being different."

Typical quote here is it takes more than multi colored leathers to turn a wanker into a biker.

What about the ZXR400. Rarer (but still a UK model)
Louder, higher revving, probably more fun and better round the corners and more than likely has enough power for your needs.

Hi

I you in the UK? What are you going to use the bike for? Do you want a cutting edge sports bike, a good sporting road bike or a more restrained road bike?

All the best

If it's a second hand 600 and you would prefer a British Bike I would suggest a TT600 - the alleged dodgy fuel injection has been sorted out now with the use of fuel remapping and they're certainly not as common as the Japanese competiton.

I could go on about the merits of choosing one above the competition but this link probably does it better https://www.cix.co.uk/~kwh/page61.htm

It's not the fastest, doesn't have the best acceleration, may not have the credibility of other sports 600's - It's still a hell of a lot of fun though Wink

The later tt600's are better, but last year dealers were selling early tt's with the cams out of the latet bikes.

You got anything to back that up or is it a Suzuki generalisation?

I know the 750 box has a nice reputation of dropping a little pin somewhere in the gearbox which causes a nice seizure. As we saw on ste's TL, they don't handle big power too well.

I haven't heard of any reliabilty problems with the Hayabusa gearbox, nor of the 600 or 1000.

Not being funny mate, but how can you be unique if you're asking what bike to get? Get the bike YOU want and get a custom paint job or something. We can't tell you how to be unique.

Not having a go, just a comment Thumbs Up
