Have you ridden any other bikes before?
How do you like the ride on the R6? I've been looking at getting one or a GSXR-600

Only other bike I've rode is a 01 R6. This one is a definantly a nice bike. It rides pretty good. I took it on 1hr. ride today and I could have gone longer. So far im pretty happy with it. FWIW, im 6' 3" and about 180lbs. and it fits me decent. I've never sat on or ridden an 1000 so I don't know if that would be more comfortable or not.

Well I'm 6'1 and 185 and the 1000 was a hell of a lot of fun, but it was a bit much especially riding it almost every day, which is exactly why I'm looking at the 600's and 750's.

Bad *** bike!

Been thinking about getting another one...but I'm too big for a 600. The 1000s I've owned could barely lug all of my 6ft 2in, 270lbs down the road....LOL.

Be careful out there bro!!!
