Default Which one?

Hi,im sure you have had a lot of these questions but i just want to hear a few others opinions.
Im looking to buy my first bike and stuck between a 05 600rr with 9000 miles for 5500 and an 05 gsxr 750 with 4000 miles for 5800. i have been set on the 600rr but if i can get a good deal on the 750 should i get that?
i just want other opinions on which one?

I would say go for the RR!! I just hate GXSRs!! They're like a@%holes and opinions .... everyone got one!! See if the guy will come down on the price a little. Are there any extras on either?

no extras for performance on either, the cbr has flush mounts and fender eliminator. i have another question that i will also post in another section but maybe you can answer it.
I went to the shop today and had them start the bike. It started just fine and everything was good, when i went to rev it, after it came back down to idle it puffed out white smoke then went clear again. It didnt smell weird and i kno want buring oil smells like and i dont think it was that either. Two people i've talked to say its cause its been sitting ( probaly been sitting for a month and a half), one says its because the motor was cold, the salesman says that they all do it... whats you take on it?

Prob. a mixture of the two. Its been sitting for awhile and it was cold. They don't all do it lol thats just a salesman that is trying to make a sale thats all. Imho The 05 750 is a really nice biek besides the fact that everyone has one. Why do you think they all have them? But I would go with the RR it's a really nice bike as well but im a Honda guy. I've had a gixxer and a yamaha but honda is just true quality!

the cbr. A 130+hp 750 is a bit much for a first timer. The 600 will blow your mind with what its capable of. Did you grow up riding bikes or anything?

Yea ive made my decision im definitely going with a RR. now the problem is finding one. i keep running into speed bumbs with the bank and sellers not having titles.
And i have a cr125 that i have had for about 2 years that i ride.

Cortez ...
good luck with your search!! I actually found mine using cycle trader.

Adamavage ...
Maybe that's just in NJ. But, all I ever see is gixxers!! Plus, I just love my Honda so much. I don't think I could recommend a different bike.
