Should i do it?

[mannysyzf-R6]

2006 suzuki gsxr 600 it has power commander and exhaust, frame slider.. its been babied since day one. only has 4900 miles and hes giving it to me for 5k is this worth getting? never been dropped or laid down. my 1st bike was a 2009 yzfr6 so i dont know of i should get this or spend more money to get another yamaha? what do you guys think? good deal?

[mannysyzf-R6]

wow dirry for posting this in the wrong place.. can it be moved please?

[madvlad]

I had an 07 which is just about the same and it was a great bike. If the bike is in as good of shape as he/she says then doesnt sound like a bad deal... All in all its on your personal preference on the style and how it rides cause it's a completely different bike compared to the R6 ride position wise since it's wider. The gixxer is slimmer and more short person friendly.

[mannysyzf-R6]

i heard its easier to ride but im still in love with the yamaha. But i love the look of the gixxer. and yes its babied i knowned him since i had mine just màking sure its a good deal cause its 6 yrs old lol

[mdub]

5k is a good deal . Go for it

[mannysyzf-R6]

sweet thnx

[mdub]

Honestly , my next bike could be a750 gxsr .

[madvlad]

They're comfortable to ride for sure, at least for me being 5'6. My friend rode it couple times being 6'4 and he looked pretty ridiculous.... just also check with your insurance company if your rates will change due to the fact that the gixxer is the most wrecked and stolen type bikes so just food for thought

I think there's a daytona for under 5 on cl....3 cylinder madness and cheap as he'll insurance!

+1 on this. If my R1 wouldve been totalled I so would've bought one. Rode my best friend's 06 675 this past weekend and a total blast

I know I'm lovin' my 3 cylinder goodness. =)

[AOK303]

My next bike will also be a 750gxsr

Good info, didn't know that. Would that be true of the liter bikes too (Gix1k/Ninja10R vs. R1)?

[mdub]

For sure bigger is more for ins.

Yes sir, the bigger the cc's the more $$$ it is. Of course other factors such as driving record, credit score, MSF class and being 25 or over can affect that too.

[Ghosty]

Yeah bigger I'd figure, but I mean manufacturer-wise on same-CC bikes. Are the Gixxers in general higher insurance than an R1 (because of thefts, etc.), liter vs. liter? I'm gonna call my StateFarm agent tomorrow and break it down, just curious before I get into a bigger bike. I'll report back...

From what I understand gixxers are usually a bit higher on insurance no matter the cc but I've also heard of people getting better rates on those than R1's and such. It all depends on the insurance company too I guess.... Hey are you the same Ghosty from CRN?

[Ghosty]

Yeah the same, what's your name over there?

[madvlad]

Yeah the same, what's your name over there?

Nice dude, thought I recognize the nick and the Supra of course lol... I haven't been on there for many years so forgot my log on lol

Shouldn't be. All my bikes are thru State Farm, they price by CC's

[AOK303]

Mine is through Statefarm they told me is by style not cc .... It's how my 1000rr is under 250 for full insurance year round

[Aracheon]

Yeah the same, what's your name over there?


Holy shit, Praveen. Haven't seen your SN in ages. :hibye:

[Ghosty]

Heya! You still have any Celicas? That SD-990 is a wild looking bike! Never seen one before.

[Clovis]

For Allstate at least they considered my R1 a standard motorcycle and insurance was like $400 a year for a brand new bike. The GSXR 1k was $1600.

[mdub]

Dang thatsa a lot moola
