got clearance from t3h my lady to get a new toy...

as soon as the snow is gone i'll be picking one of these up http://www.ninja650.com/ what color you think? silver or black?

 

nice.....

 

cool, i am kinda partial to yamahas though

 

i love yamaha's as well, ive owned a couple of both kaw and yam, both equally reliable

 

instead of that bike u should get the new Honda CBR1000RR

Go with the yamaha!

 

I want a 06' Kaw Z1000. Very nice bike with great reviews.

 

then why not go with one of these

or

because i dont have 10K on a yamaha card, i have it on a kawi card...i dont need 1000 ccs i need at least some economy and the rest of my limbs This one will be plenty fast, 0-60 in 3.8 1/4 mile in 12.4

 

yeah, I wont ever get the go ahead from my lady for a bike. But that is fine her and I made a deal, I get project cars, but no bike, which works for me.

 

Dude are you guys pussy whipped, don't you know it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission? :lol:

Actually my wife's pretty cool, she wouldn't question it if I went out an bought a bike again, right now, I'm done riding for a bit, until I figure out what I'd like to buy.

Yeah the 650 is a nice bike, congrats man 8)

 

why awdimprezal no 600rr?

because i only want a kawi, (i have financing through them) and i want a decently comfortable commuter type bike,(60 miles per day) not a race bike, but somthing with some nuts, and the abilty to be pushed when i want it to.

 

^My friend has a Honda VFR800 and loves it. He's a bigger guy and he didn't want another rocket. He says it has the power he wants and it's comfortable like touring bike. He does have a Corbin seat on it though. I rode it once, it was nice but too quiet for me(I like to hear the RPM's). Here's a pic of a stock one. I like the single sided swing arm, exhaust under the seat, and the blinks built in. http://www.tenkatemotoren.nl/Acties/VFR800_2006/HONDAVFR800F2006/images/MVFR820063BA.jpg

 

Your best bet would be to get the old gen ZX-6R, labeled now as the ZZR600. Those have the smoothest engines for long rides, and the most comfortable ergonomics. That twin is going to vibrate, and it won't sound as nice at WOT.

Spend the extra 1k. It'll be worth it.

Then again, buy a used race bike and go to Brainerd. That'll put hair on your chest!

:twisted:

 

^^^ thanks for at least talking about kawi's but im buying brand new! no question about it! i may also look at the 600, we'll see

 

Hey, the ZZR600 is sold as a new bike today.

But it is a continuation of the 2002 model that Eric Bostrom used to whup up in AMA 600 Supersport.

If money or looks are a factor, buy what you like. But you will probably not outgrow the ZZR.

 

you're right about that, but its exactly 1K more then the 650...maybe if they have a leftover 2005 zzr for cheap ide look into getting it.

 

+1 for the yamaha i really miss my bike, as soon as my car payments are done im getting anouther one!

 

Personally i am a fan of the 636, probably the first thing I will buy when i graduate from college. Even though i like the '04 and '05 better than the '06.
The new R6 and R1's are ridiculously cool as well. I would definately ride either.

 

I bought a new R1 last summer, now my wife is nagging me to get her 1

 

^^^ i have one on the way, tdo4...a little less gay

 

you got all the cool toys!

 

I like toys

 

i have only my little honda cl175 left.
wife made me sell the kawasaki h1.
probobly a good thing though, you couldnt really steer that thing over 6k.

 

today at lunch i'll probably go see it in person. EDIT: i went to see it, they sold what they had, but i saw/ sat on a ZZR...omfg i may get that instead, they have thier's priced lower then i thought, and it seems like alot more bike.

 

my son lets me ride the bike occasionally...

 

heres the zzr that has me torn between the two

 

what you really need in the kawasaki line is one of these bad boys

 

Fur on a motorycle? Ick! Those are funny, like a coffee can on a Metro, but I can't condone it.

And who posted saying the new R6 was pretty? I saw it at the show and it was fugly! Same goes for the headlights on the ZX-10 and ZX-14.

It's like the new Camry: Japanese stylists are either going blind or are eating mushrooms.

 

ive decided to revoke my clearance to get this bike, i have a wedding to pay for, oh well, the 250 have to suffice for one more summer, eh, it still gets me 70 mpg :shock: has decent enough power for now anyways

 

silver, hands down
