Ya'll are gonna think i'm crazy but in 2005 someone tried to give me a 2003 R1 and I passed.

[flyer333]

how abt a bmw bike?

[koreez88]

Careful on motorcycle. You might not get in the accident, but other drivers are not so careful sometimes.
2 of my family friends died in a motorcycle accidents.

I'll sell you my 04 R6 for 5400

[335rocket]

sorry to hear that bro! I think everyone knows someone whos been killed on a bike. They are very dangerous and cars are a bikers biggest concern. Just have to be super careful

[335rocket]

sounds like a good deal, but dont have that kind of cash to put up. Thats why Im doing a payment plan with Yamaha. Why are you selling your bike, just out of curiosity?

[F87LUV]

looks like that R6S replaced the 600R... thats what i had.... i had it for about 2 years and only lost $1500 on the sale.... remember your gear and try to avoid cars.... why not take the msf course? my next bike will def be a black raven but i think i want the first edition, the newer bikes are monsters

[335rocket]

Im taking the course. Im most likely getting the R6 S all black

I did but then again, my only riding experience was being on the back of the bikes. The bikes you learn on are a joke but the lectures are very informative plus you wont need to take your road test with the dmv which would be a total pain in the ass. Its a basic course but it definitely helped me. But dont think because you take the class, youre ready to get on and go like Valentino Rossi. Just be smart about it and youll have no problem at all.

[335rocket]

Yeah, Im gonna sign up and take it as soon as I can

I've had the bike for a couple of months now and have gotten alot more experienced, although I do need alot more practice

For as long as I could remember, Ive always wanted a street bike, despite the warnings from friends and family. I know their extremely dangerous, but sometimes at night, I cant sleep thinking about how much I want one. The BMW I guess is not enough lol. I have my heart set on the Yamaha R6. I had a 2006 anniversary edition yfz450 race quad, and traded it in for a 2 wheeler. I currently have 15k credit limit with Yamaha. I know the R6 is a monster of a bike and is probably not a good first bike, but it is a 600!!!

Opinions??? Should I get it? Am I foolish for wanting to get such an advance bike to start out with.

be careful, I had my cbr600 for 3 years and wrecked twice, once off a 20 foot cliff. just be mentally prepared for that.

[RonJon]

My first bike was CBR F4i (600cc), dont waist your money on the smaller bikes, get the R6, or CBR 600RR.

I had my CBR for about 5 months before I traded for an RC51. I had to let go of the RC cus of too many close calls and stories of riding buddies going down.

Once I quite my job Iam gonna get track bike, lot more fun, and much much safer.

I dunno man, my advice is not to ride in the street, it only takes one dum mistake buy a car to cause seriouse damage.

uhhhhh..I miss the RC51, I had a pipe on it and sounded sooo fucHen sweeet. The bike lags in technology but its a different class of super sports.

first you say get a more powerful bike, then you say dont ride on the street! which is it lol? Im getting the R6 S because from what I heard its a safer and easier handeling bike than the regular R6

Well if you are getting a bike, dont waist your money on the 500cc, get the R6.

If you take it easy and take the time to you learn you'll be ok with the 600. You'll outgrow the 500 in no time.

My reasoning for not riding in the street is not based on a powerful bike, its based on dum fu*$%ing drivers that dont pay attention to bikes. It has nothing todo with the bike's power.

You cant go with either choice, just stay away from the ninjas!!

[335rocket]

oh I hear you. Yeah, The R6 S I know is the best choice. Its got good power but not too agressave like the R6. Yeah, Drivers are insane. They hate bikers, so they intentonally cut them off lots of the times. Just have to be super careful. Im well aware of the risks that surround motorcycles

Funny - I remember saying virtually the same thing to my parents 32 yrs ago when I got my first street bike

Be careful out there man .... otherwise you'll be dead or in a wheelchair for the rest of your life
