"what is that? I dont know, but i want one!"

hahhahaha. That guy does not know how to ride a motorcycle (not that I really can, but that's another point). He could have gone through that corner at 120mph.

I've got an old motorcyclist magazine in front of me, and the 2003 CBR600RR makes 105.4hp at 445lbs wet. That's old. And it's a 600! You can get a 1000cc bike for around 10 grand that makes about 140hp and weighs under 400lbs. That's totally stock, throw a turbo in a busa and you can push 300 hp on a bike that's street legal.

That car friggin rocks, but how can he bad mouth motorcycles like that?

if you can't tell. the season is coming and I've got motorcycle fever!

he didn't bad mouth the motorcycle....he badmouthed the middle-aged guy with the gut. ya see?

You might be right. The R1 makes 183 hp, so the R6 has got to be up there too. That's pretty good at 381 lbs dry weight. http://www.body-kitz.com/motorcycles/2006r1web/

I was quoted at 1450 a year on the R6. That's without collision or comp coverage. I'm getting an FZ6 pretty shortly, and I'd like to get an R6 or an R1 after I'm 25 years old. That'll drop the insurance a ton. The riding season is short here too, but there have been a few warm days in January that I went riding. That's a little bit unusual.

well the fz6 has the same engine as the r6 just different gearing and a little more upright. Its just a ploy to get lower insurance cause its classified as a sport touring bike instead of a race bike.
