Grouch Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 You can't really go wrong with any Japanese machine.
dzish Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 You can't really go wrong with any Japanese machine. You can't really go wrong with any machine wich is not produced in China/Korea.

Moderator Cynic Posted December 28, 2012 Moderator Posted December 28, 2012 You are smart to keep the fazer. That honda is a track weapon. Well ridden it is as fast in most cases as an r1. But fk me the thing is unforgiving.
Moderator Airhead Posted December 28, 2012 Moderator Posted December 28, 2012 result... you can never have to many bikes i can

kenDAWG Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah, its a nationwide problem :/ yes my friend and going by your list of bikes you fit into that bracket aswell lol... seriously i had 2 full size bike, pitbike and the nephews little quad in my garage - it was like being caught fingering nextdoors cat the look on her face when she seen them all in the shed, pure disgust!!! a piss ive only gone and spilt me beer on the frickin couch........
Grouch Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 You can't really go wrong with any machine wich is not produced in China/Korea. If you are stupid enough to buy Chinese bike, you deserve everything you have coming.
2 Wheels Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Have ta agree with Blackhat on this one. R6 is as good as R1 on a track or twisty roads. The 600RR your getting is a fast bike, very much the same as the blade. Cynic is also right,,,, they are unforgiving,,,,,get it wrong going into a corner and your in big trouble. I had the older version CBR600F, fine bike also but uncomfortable, the RR feels like it has twice the power so you need to really get to know the bike before you push your limits on it. Good realiable bike, good engine, frame, brake and all the rest,,,,,nice to look at but more than an hour ride and you will be feeling sore. I wouldnt give up my Fazer for one of them anyway. Fazer is a good bike allround.
kearnsy123 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Well the sale of the cbr fell tru and i mean fell tru my mate let a fella test drive it and he used front brake in the wet the bike went down and over .

I found a yamaha r1 . 1999 with 32k on the clock mite view it diseve could i have sum advice on what to check bfore i buy thanks
Moderator Cynic Posted December 31, 2012 Moderator Posted December 31, 2012 Fsh or walk away. They are all powerd by intel (da da de da)these days. If its a mint early carb then grab it and check your life insurace.
kearnsy123 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 The r1 is on donedeal.ie black kildare
kearnsy123 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 I reckon its an r6 or a cbr for me the r1 diseve a great bike but two powerful and wasted on the roads i drive on daily thanks everyone for the advice
