Hello,

I am thinking about getting a 600cc bike. Which one of these bikes ( R6s[or 2003-2005 R6], Honda 600, DAYTONA 675) handles best (especially cornering)?

I will also be learning to do very basic stunts (at least for now), nothing crazy. I really like ergonomics of the R6s, but I hear that it has a very weak frame and cannot take much beating. If you were to choose a beginner stunt bike, which one would you choose?

Also, I haven't sat on the Daytona and no clue how it feels.I will be riding this bike to work for couple of days week, so it will be a commuter as well.

Thank you in advance!

I had a 04 r6 and I loved it. It's a really comfortable bike..and very good for cornering and track. But also a great commuter bike, and I wheelied the hell out of mine. If you get a r6 change the sprockets and do 2 up in the back and down 1 in the front and you will be set. I wouldn't tell you to get a 675 for stunting although its a nice bike. Out of all of them... Id say the r6.

honda f4i would be the best option, but the r6s are good also.
the 675 would be a good canyon carver or roadracer but not a stunter.

F4I's are GARBAR

How would you compare the ZX636 or Gxsr to Honda/R6?

I absolutely loved my 08 gsxr 6. Wheelie beast...at least when i operated it... Im building an 08 kawi zx6r project right now, ive heard alot on the zx6rs that the frames are very weak but the older 636s are solid. New hondas from what ive seen are fragile but the older F4i's are damn near indestructable. If i had money to go buy another bike right now i would go get another gsxr but thats me.

You mean between 2003-2005? Do you know off hand if they are Fuel injected?

Outlaw_FTP

you asking about the gsxrs or the f4is?
edit: f4i has had injection since 01 and gsxr has had it since 01 also

Most people on here are going to give you hell about gsxr's but I love em. If you aren't going to be beating on it in the lot then go for it. Otherwise, brace the subframe and you are good to go. I keep saying this because this same thread keeps coming up but ALL NEWER BIKES HAVE WEAK SUBFRAMES NO MATTER THE MANUFACTURER. It is in an effort to trim even more weight off of sportbikes that are already very light IMO.

My 01 GSXR600 has a choke. Not fuel injected.

f4i, hands down best beginner stunt bike. any other considerations... put them off. you'll drop your bike learning to stunt and the f4i will take the abuse, and beg for more. I have an '04 636 I been burning up the streets with for the past several years... and the advice from the pro's was to wait on stunting it out till I get my game down on the f4i.

I thought they introduced it in 01 on the gsxr because 2000 was the last year of the SRAD

This bike is almost to clean to stunt....

DOKE

I will come and knock it over. Problem solved.
