Question What bike to get

Hey guys and gals Ive been riding sense I was 10 and I had a 1989 CBR600F it had a pipe it was jetted and it had a DYNA 2000 ECU in it but I sold it about a year and a half ago and I also use to ride my buddys 1993 GSXR750
so now Im going to buy another bike but I cant deside to get a CBR600 or a GSXR750 what I mostly did on my old bike was wheelies and streetracing so what do you guys think I should get and why,
Thanks alot

Re: What bike to get

I'm going with a 00-03 gix 750 sometimte over the winter when they're cheap.
Lots of power but also quite manuverable, great stunbike.
You could go with a 600 but since you sound expirienced why not go with something bigger?
There's also the honda 900, 929, and 954 rr's, all of which are stuntastic, and they're honda so they'll last forever.
I think it's mostly personal preference, someone with skills can stunt just about anything, get what you like.

Well my spending limit is $3500 so I'm going to have to stick with a early or mid 90's bike

Re: What bike to get

Man i think it just depends on what you are going to do with your bike,

Full out stunt= honda(maybe F4i)

Sum stunt but mostly street= GSX-R

I had a 01 GSX-R 1000 and i loved it for the streets,but once i got into stunting hard core, the bike did not last at all. I now have an F4i and i love it for stunting,if i was going to get another street bike i would get a GSX-R(can not beet the power for the streets).What ever you get just have fun man,good to see you geting a bike again.

hehehe, I started riding the Kat May first with 5915 on it and as of yesterday (before it started freaking snowing) it had 14850.
I'm hoping to get at least 9k maybe even an even 10 grand before I sell it.

Re: What bike to get

ya, or just test ride a Brand new Hardley Ableson using the drivers license of someone you just pickpocketed and then take off and trade it with someone for 15 grand and then go get a brand new whatever-you-want. Sounds like a plan to me. And to make it better plan in advanse the bike you're going to bag from the dealership and then put an add out for it a week before you "test ride" the thing. Then you can go right to the guys house and sell it to him and don't have to worry about storing the illicit vehicle.
HAha, yeah right.

Re: What bike to get

Well I won't be able to buy one untill after Christmas, so I have a while to look around and as for getting one cheaper that needs a little fixing up is alright I've been working on bike's ever sense I first got one for my 10th birthday and it was a old 1975 XR75 and I road the wheels off of it everyday after school, but anyway my old 1989 CBR600F it was piped and jetted and I paid $800 for it and all it needed was the lowers and a good paint job

Re: What bike to get

definately hold off and watch the Bikes for sale forum here in SL, tons of bikes going for that price or cheaper you'll find a newer one, good luck
