900Z1 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 After last years experience with my wife piloting my Busa, I knew she was ready for her own bike. We rode my bike to Zanesville, then Marietta. She rode home on a 2007 GSX-R600. She really likes having her own bike, and I enjoy watching her ride. For a 600cc bike it runs strong.

900Z1 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Congrats on the New Suzuki. Nice choice..Thanks for the complement, she has ridden most of the motorcycles I have owned, but has never had her own. Her first street solo was in 1978.At one time I owned 3 Kawasaki 900Z1's that she and I used to race. She is a very competitive rider, and can out ride most of my friends. I feel better with her having a 600cc, She can hang with me in the twisties, but I can dust her on the straight with my busa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progrmr Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 That is a nice looking bike - how are the ergonomics on it? I'm 99% sure I'll be going up to a 600 next year and the big three are on my list (GSXR/CBR/ZX6).Is she pretty folded up on it or is it fairly comfortable?

yotaman88210 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think the gsxrs are the "most comfortable" from the factory... They use to be anyway. You can always modify to make any bike more to your style too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 yeah when I was looking in '06 for a 600 the GSXR was definitely the most comfortable when both my wife and I sat on them. After the 07 CBR came out though my wife seems to like how that one sits a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyen Soljax Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 yeah when I was looking in '06 for a 600 the GSXR was definitely the most comfortable when both my wife and I sat on them. After the 07 CBR came out though my wife seems to like how that one sits a bit better.but again we are talking about supersport bikes which are designed to race. my r6 is way less comfy than my old 250 of course, but i wanted the bike, not the comfort.

exSRAaron Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 the gixxers are the most comfy IMO, however i like the new 600RR more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I rise the bars about an inch I think it would perfect.By next year I may make you a good deal on hers. By then she will probably want a Liter bike.

The King Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 If I was going for a 600, there would only be one choice....Triumph Daytona 675 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
