Which one? GSXR 600, R6, CBR 600rr, ZX6R??

Para1

So im thinking of upgrading the bike in a few weeks. Currently on a 2007 Kawasaki ER6N, nice bike easy to ride and comfortable but I dont do masive miles and recently iv started drooling everytime i see a 600 sportsbike . Im looking to stay around the 06/07 in years and have about 5000 to spend on it. I still want something that is comfortable and thats proberly the biggest condition other than that im open to all possibilites. So if it was you what would ya go for? pros and cons appreciated. Cheers!

See if you can find a zx6rr other than that, I like the look and performance figures of the r6 best, the Honda is a Honda and the and the gixxer is probably the least quirky but I'm not gone on the looks. The zx6 is in looks and performance wise but the others have the edge on build quality feel. You already have a kwakker so you can get my meaning here. It would make it the cheaper option though I reckon.

correct, dont know about the women but a k4/k5 gixxer 750 is an attractive proposition

The daytona is savage, had a test ride on one and was mightily impressed. Doubt you would get one for 5000 though. Barring the daytona I would go for the R6 or the honda.

r6 according to the amearicans fastest qtr mile lol sl model now it=f thats to be belived

Wossack

if it was my money, it'd be a late model zx636 (think the c6f or c1h model)

the extra cc's bulk up the midrange, and make it more of an everyday bike

R6 = Overpriced but good bike
ZX6r = Cheapest, good looking but there must be a reason why they are not that popular?
GSXR600 = Great looking, popular, good price
CBR600rr = more expensive than the suzuki & the kawa but a better all round bike, has received loads of awards and is the most critically acclaimed. And they last forever! (love mine)

A mate of mine has one. Great bike, IME. Very impressed with it.

Think iv settled on something like this:D.
R6 more of a track bike?quit expensive as stated above and hard to find a nice one on my budget.
ZX6r dosent do it for me looks wise and i hear the handle position is lower, making it a more uncomfortable on the wrists on long journeys.
The CBRrr is a great bike all round but again think im just sold on the GSXR.
no expert buy a long stretch but would the GXSR be a better option for starting out on sports bikes?? had an FZR 250r as my first bike which served me well but no other real comparison.

forget all the suggestions so far (cept maybe that 675)

have some class, get yourself a duke

749 sounds about right for you......you might get an 04/05 sort of in your price range.......much more comfortable than you would think!

or wait around (for as many years as it takes) for an mv agusta f3 to depreciate to within your budget............making do meanwhile with walking from place to place and eating 2 for one special deals on cereal and not much else.

thats what I would do!
