sup everyone...i was wondering if the motorcycle pros in here or someone could help me out. i hav a suzuki katana right now, and im going to sell it next month and buy a new/used bike. i was wondering if anyone had any comments about GSXR1000, R1, CBR1000, or Kawasaki zx6r...i havent decided which one i want yet..

they are all high proformance sport bikes and are all probably of very good quality. Being no expert not sure why im telling you what you probably know. But yes, all are aggressive, fast, bikes.

Have you had a look at the new ZX-10R.

do you want a 1000cc bike or 600cc?

Which everbike fits you the most comfortably is the best one for you.

im glad my height and weight is suited for sportsbikes.

i wouldn't have gotten into riding if can't fit into a sportsbike.

anyway, i vote for the gixxer1000 K6 or K5.

Funny, at your height and weight I'd drop you on a cruiser myself.

really? i looked at some height and weight of motoGP and AMA superbike riders days ago and i found a few riders around my height and weight.

yeah, that's what i thought... plus cruisers (the good ones that weigh around 700lbs) are built for bigger guys.

i just can't see myself enjoying and looking good on a cruiser bike.

Vermilion is about your size Sev. And you ride whats basically a sportbike (ok so you started on a cruiser).

Im a bit bigger than you two (5'10", 200lbs) and find that im usually too small for the bigger cruisers, I just seem to be stretched out on them. I fit the small cruisers ok but dont care for cruisers in general.
