im after a bike when im 21 tbh

Want to eventually get a beast of a bike just to take out on a summers day, than use the car for the rest of the year. Won't be for another 2 years or so though.

[Pat_Vts]

yahama R6 ftw or cbr 600RR ;) 600cc minimum and will be a first bike:P

[williamsvts]

gsxr imo, zx6r is cheap than the above and gsxr to insure aswell.

Always loved the crazy Suzuki's me :P

[Pat_Vts]

them lot too then

any 600cc apart from suzuki bandit will do me, and rapido lol

my plan is keep the VTS til im 21... providing its running perfect and not breaking down every 3months and is how i want it;) and i will have no debts etc etc

should be able to get a nice bike for 4k in full cash and roar round in the bike at 21 lol... and run the VTS too but thats something that is impossible to predict tbh for example if i was to write off my vts lol

[VtsTom]

I would love a bike if every other fucker on the road would sod off. Been on the back of a few mates bikes, its proper scary how many people just have no idea your there. Speed is sexual though

love them to:D

[Jazz]

Just to witness the all out speed, it would be worth it, just as a toy. Would only use it during the summer really, don't fancy killing myself during the harsh winter months. GSXR-1000 for the summer, Type-R for the spring, autumn and winter ftw :P

If I decide to get one I might as well get the God-damn fastest thing the insurance companies will quote me for LOL. Even if the only other bike I ever rode was a shitty 90cc Ped on holiday haha...

Please chat about bikes in this new thread rather than hijacking a different thread!

[Karl]

Don't start this shit. :'(

Im really wanting a bike....

gf says no.
Mumma Karl says she'd hate to see me on one.

But they're so cheap to run/buy/insure....

plus think of all the fun!

[Aidey-Westcoast]

if you want a nice bike with power either get a.....

http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l406/Aidey-Westcoast/2008-YZF-R6-white.jpg

2007 R6

or...

http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l406/Aidey-Westcoast/Easterweekend027.jpg

Gixxer 600 K6

or even a....

http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l406/Aidey-Westcoast/2004cbr600f4i-RED.jpg

CBR 600

personally i would go for the r6 as not only does it have a fair bit of power but also looks the nuts with that sting tail rear fairing...!! and i own one too ;)

[bide_furio]

my old man has a nice honda fire blade sat out in the garage waiting to rip the roads round here! lol! would love to ride it but wudnt be able to control the 900cc/1000cc dont know which! lol!

[flee123]

Yamaha R6 for me. Really want one when I turn 21, but am in the same shit as Karl. At the end of the day it's my decision (I'm an adult apparently)

These really do it for me too. My uncle has one exactly the same as this, sounds beautiful and goes like stink so he says

KTM Superduke 990

[Jazz]

LOL- My parents would not allow me to get one as long as I'm living with them. Wayy too dangerous in their opinion. They don't care how quick my cars get etc, but bikes are off limits to them, especially these super-quick ones.

I'll probably still get a gixer or similar soon enough just to play with on the weekends, looks like damn good fun...

and as said the speed you experience is just out-this-world. Worth it? Hell yeah.

[Mardgee]

r1 is the way to go.

[Danr]

http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11362445/Vespa_Acma_Type_1964_Vbb_150_.jpg

I will own one and ride around all day pretending to be in Quadraphenia.

[Tupps]

Lad i met on holiday has an R1 and a Hyabusa with Nos!! Stupid fast bike

Personally i'd go for something like an R6

[Aidey-Westcoast]

for a first bike go for an r6...!! all depends on what type of riding you want to do for seriously good fun go for a sports bike for commuting get a fazer....... same engine r6 looks the nuts but is a sports tourer

Tupps knows the score, I want one so badly!

[Chris]

What's the largest CC you can ride when you first start out...... i.e. never owned a bike and have only just got your provisional bike license?? I'm 29 BTW, not sure if that makes a difference or not!

Chris :)

[Aidey-Westcoast]

on a L-plate max is a 125cc

first bike before 21 u can have anything but it must be restricted to 33bhp for first 3 years...

thats how the law stands atm

but end of this month some bike laws are changing

Aidey!

Cheers Mate..... so does that mean that cause I am 29 I could ride anything (unrestricted)??

Chris :)

[GrantW]

AFAIK Chris yes, thats why I'm waiting till im 21 before thinking about it, get something mental as a first bike lol

[gonnacatchalunker]

r6 all the way, that picture don't do it any favours in them colours imo. but they are by far the best lookin' usually. i would be happy with a 600 i think my mates got a k5 gsxr and it's fukin rapid!! although r6's are meant to be quite a bit quicker!! no chance i'll even be avin a 125 while livin' at home tho.

[gonnacatchalunker]

ne way thats true yeh, once over 21 and have passed full bike licence you can ride wtf u like. (as for hyabusa, u may aswel ride an elephant with a rocket up it's arse they may be stupid fast but look awful imo)!

[Aidey-Westcoast]

if i were back in the situation where i had just passed my bike test then i wish i had got a classic 250cc eg a rgv 250 or a tzr 250 they are rapid as fuck and have the frames of a 125 they go round corners so bloody quick

but if you want a real bike go for r6 they are really nice to ride at slow speed and really exhilarating to ride at highspeed most i have had out of one was 155mph

[Sax-Lee]

Dad's old 600 Blade:

[Aidey-Westcoast]

like the new fireblade with the stobart racing colours...!! :D

[Pat_Vts]

mum dad as jazz said dont give a f**k about if i drove a subrau 2.0 turbo doing 160 they wont be bothered the slightest

bike, big NO to them ftl

This is my Summer ToY!! Kawasaki ZZR 600, and I love it!!

[Leemc2008]

I started riding at 16, with a Derbi Senda 50cc motorcross bike.. saved all summer and bought it brand new! £2050.. Keep it pristine and did 10k on it! In a year.. I'd already bought a ZXR400 about 7 months before my 17th birthday.. working weekends I was spending all of my money rebuilding the ZXR..

Passed my full bike test on my 17th birthday, no lessons.. just a test.. so I had restricted license 33bhp.. Got the kit for the ZXR at cost of £150.. sent certificate off to insurance company, never fitted the kit.. so full power ZXR400 at 17! Yay! 66bhp, top speed 135mph.. no bad to be honest!

Again, I wanted another project, so I bought a GSXR1100 K series, the one with the oil cooled 1127cc engine.. What a monster! Loved it, streetfighter style.. So much torque, power wheelies everywhere..

Recently I bought a Kawasaki ZX636.. probably use that more than I use the Saxo or the Mercedes, I took it to work today in the rain.. I just love riding, weather doesnt bother me! Bike's always clean and always garaged.. :)

Just be careful! Know you limits and always wear full protection!

That won't do your suspension any favours......

[Leemc2008]

Haha.. I know.. I destroyed the fork seals.. but got new ones after I knew they had gone, also headstock bearings.. Loads of fun though!

Was 16.. bought the bike from new, I'm not the kind of person though that will break something or let something wear and leave it, I did 10k on that bike, rebuild the little 2 stroke engine at 10k even though it didnt need it, replaced all fork seals, chains and sprockets, brakes.. etc.. was well looked after! Awesome for wheelies and stoppies! Mini hooligan bike!

Theres not any noticeable difference between the 4 main manufacturer 600's

just about what suits your ride position and what looks you fancy.

tho, the kwak zx6r's are 636cc so have more power and ready built for the track as standard, so the ride is baaaaad.

[skye00]

get a ducati! my GF's dads stupid quick 1098S but drink alot of jucie!

Hardly :homme:
New R6 is the most powerfull 600 money can buy at the moment, also the quickest, and it pretty much is a track bike for the road :y:

p.s i have one :fcuk:

Ive always loved GSXRs and will definatly get another one. But yes it does depend on what you want and your style

[vts-yes]

im looking into a old mk1 r6, altho they do have a pritty snappy gearbox me is liking the idea of £12 to fill up lol

[jmc]

none of u know me just joined but this thread caught my attention. been riding bikes for nearly two years got a crf and suzuki sv 650, you may know ur saxos thats for sure but u dont know your bikes, tbh dont buy a new R6 the engines are shit and too revvy unridable imo. if u are looking for a first bike dont buy a sports bike u will either injure urself or die!!! lol. buy something rideable my sv is only 70 brake it sees 130+mph and keeps up with my dads bandit 1200 and trust me its f***ing quick. work your way up. sorry for the rant:fcuk:

the man speeks truth. bikes are not like cars, you do need to work your way up tbh. a mistake on a bike is not as easily correctable in a car.

start with anything 250cc. sm wooooooop.

[skye00]

everyone watch out JMC knows about bikes hes being riding for 2yrs!! dont make me laugh son people on here do more than just drive saxos! and how the fuck can a engine be to revvy and if its unridable why would on of the most successful manufacturers release it! you only way to kill yourself on a sports bike is if you ride it recklessly! i o agree though if you are just learning to ride then a 600 is not the way to go try a 50 or 125!

im not trying to be cocky, i agree that i havnt been riding for long and ive got a lot more to learn but it dosnt mean i dont know anyting about bikes. as for the R6 (the new one) you read reviews about them and theyll say exactly what i said, yeah there good on track (cos there revvy) but shit on the road theres no power till 14,000rpm doing that amount of revs probably even in first gear you need to be doing 70mph try doing that everywhere. :boxing:

[Mitchell]

you can go on and on and on about what bike is best (same shit on every forum)

you wouldn't possibly notice the difference between the 600's unless your a veteran on the track. It's all about how good a rider you are (and how big your balls are)

go with whatever fits you best. They will all beat eachother.

if u are looking for a first bike dont buy a sports bike u will either injure urself or die!!! lol

I didnt injure myself or die.
