Well I'm going to get another bike... either a used '05/'06 600rr or 1000rr. Not sure what I want though. I want the crazy power of the 1000 but i dont want the insurance and extra cost of the 1000. I want to kick my friends asses on their 600's. I love to screw around and pull some wheelies some times. Are the 1000s kinda crazy to pull wheelies on because they are alot more power. I'm used to doing them on 600s. If anyone has an opinion let me hear it. I need to figure out what i want soon.

 

I am in no way in the position to give you any type of response due to lack of experience, but I just bought my first sport bike (all my brothers have them so Ive ridin, just never owned) and I went with an 07 1kRR, and IMO its not that crazy, but Im a little nuts too I guess lol.

 

If you get the 1000, you will not feel the need to upgrade anytime soon! You might with the 600.

I have heard of some good insurance quotes even with the 1000. Shop around!

 

i have a o7 1000rr and my wife has a 07 600rr i have had a go on her bike and the 1000rr has so much more pulling power right through the rev range the 600rr although fast feels flat compared to the 1000rr.getthe 1000 you wont regret it oh and it wheeleys very easy if you want it to.

 

oh and i forgot to say i got fully comp insureance for 299quid with 4 years no claims with direct choice

 

Quid?? ^ crazy british

It's something you'll have to decide. I came from a 600 up to an '07 1000RR and it's a crazy big difference. More power, huge torque, wider, heavier, a handful overall. Two completely different bikes. The 1000 corners very well, don't get me wrong, but it requires a lot more effort to throw around.

 

You're not planning on throwing this one off of a curve, are you??

Sorry! Just busting yer chops!

 

transamlt1man:

I don't know about the 600 CBR, but as far as the 1000 goes, it was designed NOT to be wheelie proned. If you're interested in doing wheelies, I believe there are better tools for the job.

 

I'm just speculating that's it's harder to throw off a curve...I'm not planning on testing it out....goes and knocks on wood...

 

ive got a 06 1000rr for sale
