Its easier the faster you go, the bike is more stable. You're more prone to laying it down doing that in a parking lot. The feedback from the input at low speeds is quicker and makes the bike much more twitchy. :dizzy:

Alphamale 05-19-2012 09:49 PM

A s1000rr laid it down when I was there, it was quite the spectacle to see!

I'm assuming mastery at slow speeds can only mean better at higher speeds?

I can't wait to do a track day of some sort when I'm less poor, feels bauss.

i see tommy's in the back coaching hahahaha

Bike shopping this week for a newer bike:)

Any input on

Gsxr vs cbr vs r6?

My first bike was gsxr 750 and i loved it, was an older bulky model though looking to slim down


Looking to get another 750 or 600,
I dnt plan to track it or anything at least not anytime soon haha.
Just for casual daily this summer!

CharlieH 05-20-2012 05:55 PM

gixxer if its 06+

they went through a huge change when the k6 was introduced. much better ergonomics, lowest seating position, much comfier than the competition IMO.

SaviorSelf_666 05-20-2012 06:18 PM

Hmm, I love my R6. Way better than my buddies gix600. Try both and see which one you like more.

fd3 05-20-2012 06:25 PM

Mm yeah i sat on a 2011 gsxr 600. Was soooooooo comfy.
But i havent tried an r6 or a cbr rr yet...ive ridden an f4i, but idk the big differences yet.

Really jealous of everyones bikes HAHAHA so i really wanna pick up my new one this week!!

What do you like about your R6 over the GSX-R?

yeah i guess it really depends on the rider's body shape too. i'm 5'10 165lbs, and the gix fit me perfectly. i found the r6's seat to be too wide, which made it really uncomfortable to sit on.

I'd love to try the r6 on the track, but for city riding its probably a little more comfortable than the 748/886/889.

the way the ergo's were for me didn't work out that great.

I love my Gixxer 750, I m thinking of lowering it on links if I'm going to keep it... I am in-seam challenged and short so I'm thinking that or a smaller bike.

It's going to completely mess up the geometry of your bike if you do, if you can afford to keep it the way it is I would my friend.
It'll only result in bad handling, the one thing it's engineered to do.

I still say go for the Monster like you were planning to

CharlieH 05-21-2012 10:58 AM

monster sits higher than a 06+ gix though

join the club, i lowered mine 1 inch in the front and 1.5 inch in the back, the only thing i worried about was leaning cuz now your foot pegs are closer to the ground and they might scrape

Unfortunately dealers don't have control over what they pay the local suppliers. Tires are always cheaper when sourced from the states.
