Would an R6 be a managable first bike? The only experience that I have is that I have been riding a 75cc Derbi GPR with mods for over a year now. I consider myself a responsible rider. What do you guys think? It's either the R6 or CBR600RR.

 

If you keep steady with the R6, you'll be fine. The Derbi is quick, but 600ccs is a world of power compared to the Derbi.

 

Alright cool, thanks.

 

i'm thinking about doing the same thing... it's a tough call b/c i rode the cbr today and it was great, i love the suspention. haven't got to ride the r6 yet

 

both bikes are great... it comes down to personal preference

 

My 03 R6 is my first bike. I love it. Dont push your limits and you will be fine

 

I

 

yeah i went to work today and there were 2 spankin new 03 R6's there....I took it as a sign from the moto gods.....

 

I LIKE THE R6 A LOT!!!!
BUY IT, BUT IT, BUY IT, BUY IT

AND I AGREE WITH SPA ABOUT NOT OVERRIDING IT WHEN YOU FIRST GET OR YOU WILL KILL YOURSELF!

 

PERONAL OPINION THE RR HAS GREAT RATINGS BUT THE R6 IS A WAY BETTER BIKE! IT IS BUILT WAY BETTER. THE RR IS REALLY CHINSY I THINK. ANOTHER GREAT OPTION WOULD BE THE GSXR 600 IT WAYS JUST A TAD MORE BUT IT COMES STOCK WITH A DAMPER SO FOR A FIRST =RIDER IT'S A BIT EASIER TO LEARN ON CAUSE ITS NOT SO SQUIRMY, HOWEVER IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO WHATEVER YOU ARE MOST COMFORTABLE ON!!!!
