Got-Boost? Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 :grin2: Muthapucka: If you can push a stock 600 to 9 second passes, and you are the best rider "here" (on CR or what?) then I should start riding with you, I guess I could learn a lot. So you are in WERA.. North Central I am guessing. What are your times for Ledges, Mid-Ohio, and Grattan? You didn't hear? Muthapucka has the lap records for all of those tracks on his SV-650. Rossi just called and is flying him to Europe for 06' Moto GP testing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I heard a stat that the average rider keeps his bike approximately 3 years, so chances are you'll upgrade in a few years if you really like it. Consider Josh (Got-Busa) has owned 4 bikes(?) since he was 17 and he is now 25. When you put between 8,000 and 12,000 miles on a bike in 8-10 months, you tend to get BORED VERY QUICKLY with them. I loved the R1, it just wasn't fast enough. Great twisty bike but I got tired of the curves and am looking to get registered over 201mph+ (1-mile standing start) before I move back to another roadrace ONLY bike. It's tough enough these days as it is since I have hardly any free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazinjr Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 As far as getting a bike for $2500 and not having had a bike before. Here's my .02 cents.... no experiance? Take a motorcycle safety course. Then ask yourself what do you want out of a bike and what are your main uses for it? Is it for joy riding, cruising, racing or transportation. ss bikes are a thrill to ride and not too bad to cruise on but is that what you want. I never owned a street bike until a year ago at the age of 29, but had experiance on atvs' and a couple dirtbikes. I bought a leftover new 04 GS500F and now have 4500 miles on it. I wanted something sporty looking but easy on the wallet, and something to ride back and forth to work. I think if i would have got a newer 600cc ss or bigger bike I would not be here typing this right now. Late last summer I got a chance to ride a 04 R6, I really liked it but for someone that has never ridden a bike before I think something like that would be a mistake. I took a mid 90's CBR for a spin, not a bad bike. I have taken some older 600cc sport bikes for rides and i think that they would make desent starter bikes for the $2500 price tag. I wish I would have got something with more power but I still think I made the right choice by getting a "starter bike" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think this is the funniest, if not dumbest thing I have ever read on this forum..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It's almost a tie with your 600's running 9's comment.... Um.....you really might wanna do some research. Check out the 2005 middleweight shootout that Cycle World performed. With lowering links, strapping the front down, and changing a sprocket, they put the '05 R6 into the nines with a 9.93 at about 135mph.

God you are ignorant! You have NO CLUE what you are talking about. I have probably had more experience on street bikes in one year than you have had TOTAL since you received your motorcycle license.... Continue to dig yourself a BS hole though we find it funny...

owndjoo Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 sorry, but this actually happend. no adjustments. many people have run low 10's bone stock with the r6. with these few lil mods and a good rider, it DID print out the 9 second slip. sorry to burst your bubble.... edit- may have had a pcIII and slip on as well(less than 10hp increase) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owndjoo Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 i'd say this 1.sv650 2.ninja ex500 3.ninja ex250 ninja, get a lap timer and see where you are to the racers. i just went to the WERA school last fall and ended up bein faster than the people in my class on fully built 600's on my stock SV. i'm doin a trackday at putnam in april before the first race. that school last year was my only time on a roadcourse.

lemosley01 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Drew, what's a track day at Putnam cost and how does it compare to, say Mid-Ohio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 http://www.sportbiketracktime.com it's like $350 for the weekend or so. 185 for one day i think. Putnam is a smaller more technical track. not real highspeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TGrant Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I have my 94 FZR600 for sale. It has 18,000 on it, new tires and full vance and hines exhaust. Im selling it for $2300. Great beginner bike although it wasnt my first. FZR's can be had for cheap. Check out the classifieds on http://www.fzrarchives.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I am in pretty much the same boat as chief8one. I am currently thinking about a 1998 suzuki katana 600. would this be a good starter bike? I know its not the fastest thing out there, and it doesnt even look all that great, but i think it would be a good learner bike, and it meets the $2500 price cap too.

Got-Boost? Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 IMO...you can get a lot better bike for $2,500 than a Katana. I would stick with something that is proven to work. SV-650, Honda F1, F2 or F3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
