I want a sport bike why kawasaki r6 why not another type of sport bike. What I'am I getting from kawasaki that I'am not getting from honda rr, yamaha r6 or gsxr 600. For my first bike I want something bad and fast and safe. Can some one break it down for me on these bike's.

 

Well to get you started, here's some info. I'd advise against a new bike, even though that's what I've given you info on. For the most part, an older bike will have the same specs. More later, in a hurry.

numbers are great and all.. but it more about preference.. what you like

Me I took the kawi cause I liked price, I liked the look, and I know it can preform just as well as the others... plus you wont be like the other wannabees on the Honda's, and R6's Every one and there grandma.. has one.. be different buy a Kawi

 

Very true! First and foremost, it should be what you like the looks of, what is comfortable for you, pricing, etc....

What I love about mine - I have never seen a purple/black (depends on the lighting) Ninja around these parts. It is different but a real pain in the rear trying to find gear that will match (I wasn't too keen on all black for visibility concerns) But you make do with what you've got!

 

It's all down to preference, what feels comfortable to YOU!

Remember...the bike doesn't make the rider go fast, the rider makes the bike go fast!!

 

I feel that it is your personal choice, but I also feel that Kawasaki is a good sport bike because it is mostly a track ready bike. Wich I believe would be better for a first timer. It's sit up to ride hard, Ithink very rider friendly.

 

whatever is your STYLE and whatever you FEEL most comfortable on...the most reliable are honda and kawasaki...in my opinion....i say go kawasaki!
