| Newbie | I wanted to let you all know that I am interested in a 2005 YZF-R6 and probably will spend my 8K for one even though that is kind of seep but I want a 600cc as a first bike and was going to get the katana 600 but some say that is is top heavy so I won't do this and this bike here 2005 YZF-R6 is much ligher out of any I have seen and if I get a passanger on it. I dont have to worry about the xtra weight and make a trn at 15MPH with out falling over. I will be getting the full faced helmet and lether suite with boots and gluvs for my protection but I will never go over the 140 but wantthat extra just in case hehe. I hope t\you all agree and don't think I will get myself killed on this bike cause I am a very causious person on bikes since there is litle to protect me. how much are insurance on these but I hope it's cheaper then the RR models because I don't want anything too high and I guess a a hundread and somthing a month is okay I must have this bike but damn won't I be saving lol, god this take awile but in the outcome it will be nice you ashure me right I don't plan dropping this baby so I will be extra carfull and atleast I can keep it up on tilts with out the katana cause I am 21 and 95-100 pounds and 5' 7" and this bike is the lightest and the fastest 600 cc in the bike field. thanks to you all I am knowlaged on my bikes lol I love the net and have to say it is my best friend thanks all for your support and keeping me informed. oh btw I want somthing good on twisties and heard this is the bike for it and hills are easy to climb with it Regards, DarkAvenger |

| 1. An R6 is a rediculous first bike, no matter how cautious you are. 2. Since you're already talking about topping the bike out, we know just how cautious you'll be. 3. Buying a brand new bike is throwing money away. You WILL lay it down. 4. Hill climbing? On a sportbike? WTF? 5. You joined a Suzuki forum to tell us that you're going to buy a Yamaha? Welcome to the forums. Introduce yourself in the welcome thread in the Lobby. Come back and post again after you've done some reading. You're obviously in the dark about what motorcycling is.
