Why a Gixxer 750? Get a GSX-1000. They have more power. Smile My fiance is getting a 1000 GSX or a Honda CBR 1000

Why??? They are more fuel effeicent than most cars on the market. Your probably a conservative, driving your 13 MPG pickup truck in some tropical state or country. Believing global warming is a hoax. See if everyone had a bike than global warming would probably be delayed a few decades. Giving us more time to stop it.

Why get a Suzuki at all? Yamaha is where it's at...look at the R1..beautiful.

And yes, in the US, you can get your motorcycle license at the same time as your driver's license, after a few days of training, at least where I live.

Very Happy That is ace!

UK - Under 17 can only ride up to 125cc has to have CBT licence, Over 17 can ride any bike restricted to 33bhp with A2 licence (i think) and Over 21/2yrs experience with A2 can ride unrestricted!

Got an R6! and love it!

I'm looking at an R6 for myself...summer is coming up quick! An R1 might be a little much for me to handle..but I think I could rock an R6. I'm glad someone has good taste in bikes.

Buell makes good bikes. I'm still for the Yamaha. And there are so many for sale in my area it's ridiculous...I don't know why people are trying so hard to get rid of them.

to be honest when i brought the r6 i thought it was going to a animal which being a newbie to riding was going to be to much to handle! But for a first bike i have found it a good one to start on! just hurts your back after an hr straight riding it! Very Happy
