hi, well i don't have a bike yet.. but will soon just doing a little research. i feel strongly about the 07 600rr, but have also been looking at used 08. wondering if anyone's got any opinion/comparisons on the two. thanx ----HUGO

 

hey :-) ..have you ever had a bike before?? .. the general consensus is that a modern 600 is a bit too much for a novice .. yes they are ***** cats low down in the rev range but the power band can get you into serious trouble if you are anything but confident and know what you're doing ... I had an old CB400/4 I learned on and then went on to a GPZ500 before my F2 ...

I am in the UK but a lot of guys on here recommend a Kawasaki 250 sport bike to start on .. I forget the one but I don't think it's available here ...

Welcome as for the 07' vs the 08' bikes they are the same just different design.

 

yea i hear what you guys are saying about starting on something smaller. I've never owned my own bike, but i have ridin' plenty. So i'm not all new at this. I just want a 600 just roll with that, it'll keep me from have to buy bike after bike, and i wouldn't really wanna go any higher than a 600. So all goes well i'll just hold on to it for a while. I was just looking into if the O7's to 08's changed much besides looks or whatever?

 

Nope, they're the exact same, just different color schemes. I happen to like the blue/silver 07

 

Exact same bike. There are 2 changes to the geometery of the bike but even an experienced rider would find it hard to tell the differences not to mention you'll alter the geometery the minute you set your proper suspension settings for your weight.

Welcome to the forum. Many great people here.

 

Cool thanx, yea i noticed they color schemes changed but, didn't find much else.. thanx for trhe help, when i do get my bike, i'll take it.. it'll be a 600 but i'll progress into it. im not the type to jump on and try anything out of my league.. thanx again

 

oh and one last thing any suggestions, as to where to look into any aftermarket stuff.. i was looking at some hrc stuff, but just wanted some opinions..
