So I'm bored with the Trans Am, 11 second cars just aren't doing it for me anymore. I've been wanting a bike ever since I was about 15, and I finally decided to act on it. I started saving up a month ago a good amount from each paycheck, and in two more months I should have $6000 in my bike fund.
I probably don't want anything higher than a 600 or 750 right now, for my own sanity. My brother got a green '99 Ninja ZX6R some months ago, which would have been one of the most likely bikes to get, but I don't want to get the same thing as him now.
Here are my current options, and let me know if there are any more in the same category:
1998-2004 Suzuki GSX-R:
1998-2004 Yamaha R6:
1998-2004 Yamaha R1(not likely though):
1998-2004 Honda CBR600:
1998-2004 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R:
I'm not very familiar with all the pros and cons of each. I know the R1 is in a different class, but if there's one for a good enough price when I have the money, I don't see why I wouldn't go ahead and get it. I also know there's probably more CBR and Ninja models, so a couple of those could be considered as well.
Whatever I like best and is available about two-three months from now, I think I'll get for my first bike.
Discuss.
