Picked her up today...2006 GSXR-600...this is going to be a spare bike...since they sold the 750 I wanted i had to leave a deposit and wait for the next shipment, which is in 2 weeks....until then, will have some fun with this one....

My R6 is for sale...

2005, in picture...stock...2300 miles, asking 6800...

so is this a "look what i have" thread, or a "for sale" thread?

either way...nice gixxer man. ive always liked those. i dunno if id rather have 600RR or a GSXR600? im partial to hondas, but those suzukis are sooo nice and smooth.

I've ridden a 600RR and an R6 and now this Gixxer 600...this bike feels light as hell through corners...you are very stable even when you lean low...they did a great job on this bike this year...i was very impressed the first 10 miles i rode through the twisties...very tossable bike..

youre absolutely right man, sompared to the honda and the r6 (all being 600cc bikes) you can manhandle the gixxer a bit more. it does feel really light, and really roadworthy. feels more along the lines of a higer end bike like a bussa...a light bussa

Ive never really been a fan of suzukis, but the grey and black looks pretty good. I read an article on the 600 vs the 750, and they rate the 750 as a 600 class. Pretty good article. superbike magazine, available in the uk, but for the US you can get it at BORDERS or a book store that carries uk magazines. Comes with a dvd too!

Nice bike! I am looking at the 06 750's as well so you have to post up a nice review when you get yours.

It's everything the 600 is, only torquier and faster...after riding the R6 for so long...i must admit, this new Gixxer 600 handles a lot better, i lean low, scraping knees and i'm still confident the bike can lean more...it's very stable coming into the corner...i just wish it looks as good as my R6 though...
