Default Hello All

Just wanna say hi to everyone here. I am newbie here. I just came back from a cycle show here in Cleveland and I am very impressed with the Ninja 650R. I also liked the R6 and The R1 as well. I currently own a Suzuki GS500 which I love very much. It may not be as fast as a ninja but I like the fact that it is very easy to control and handles very well. I am considering getting the 650R as my next bike. I would love to get a R6 but the seat height is a little too high for me unless I can lower it without affecting the ride. Any suggestions, comments about either bikes? Haven't decide on the color yet.

Thanks

I like the looks of the 650r also. The specs look sweet also.

I did not buy it though since I could only afford one bike purchase for this year. Maybe next year.

The 600rr and the 636's are sweet rides as well. They have had some good successes. But then again, looks like all of the Ninja rides have a 32" seat height also. But once the sag is set, you may not have any issues with them.

Good luck.

Welcome to the forums! I'm biased, cause I want one of the 650R's myself, in black! But I only have one year of riding and want to hold off on a bigger bike for now (currently have a Ninja 500).

If you trade that zuki off for the 650 please let us know!

Yeah i know this is a Kawi forum, but honestly i think u cant go wrong with either bike. I like the look of both. The 650 is a good combintion of both a sport and a "touring" bike all rolled up in a sweet package. As for the yamaha it is a damn sweet bike. Just pick one and have fun. Keep us informed.
