Yamaha YZF R6 for begginer?
Greg Davis
the FZR 600 you probably would have said the FZR was to much bike for him,
and he would wind up killing himself with all that power(remember the FRZ
600 was the king in 89-90).
The FZR 600 has 78 HP and the R6 has a little over 100, and yes the R6 is
lighter....but I fail to see a night and day comparison here.....lets face
it in 86 when the first GSXR 1100 were released there was a-- night and
day-- difference in power handling etc.....compared to the other bikes, the
only really awesome thing about the R6 IMHO is the 15,500 redline <grin>
If you are an older adult 26+ and feel you can control the urge to push
yourself beyond your limit ---I'm sure you'll have no problem with this
bike.....on the other hand if your a young adult with limited riding
experience then STAY AWAY!!!

comming out. So far the YZF R6 is my favroite. Just flat out looks awesome. My
question is is this a good bike for me to start out on. I have no experience
riding a bike. thanks for your time.

IMHO, no brand spanking new bike (whether it be a fzr, ninja 500) is a
good bike to start on..of course unless you dont mind dropping a brand
new bike.
It will be a miracle if you dont drop the bike you are riding..for the
first time. Try to find someone that has a dirt bike you can ride to
get the clutch/braking, etc down, or maybe take a class, that has
bikes you can use.

Don't buy a sportbike for your first, get something without too much
expensive bodywork to crunch when (and I do mean when, not if) you drop it.
Buy and wear the best helmet you can get.
Take a riding class before you get a bike. Look for the MSF (Motorcycle
Safety Foundation) beginner rider class. If you can't find it in the phone
book, ask at the local bike shop, they should be able to help you find it.
Have fun

Judging from your domain name--Pure Adrenaline--I'd have to say no, the R6
is not a good first bike for you. You will most likely exercise restraint
when you first start riding, but as your confidence grows, so will your
desire to experience the rush of acceleration and speed. Soon your throttle
hand will be disconnected from that portion of your brain that generates
caution, and you've graduated from beginner to soon-to-be organ doner. The
R6 is a 600 with liter-class performance. Buy something with moderate
performance, no bodywork to destroy, and the potential to offer you a
future.

Don't get jacked about being cool...
Kind of a challenge when most of you is stuck to a phone post.
BTW, I've scraped a few riders up from tossing 350/400's, so the power ain't
the only thing...

Hmmm... a little exagerated in my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong, I
don't the ZX6R is much of a beginner bike either! They are both fast
600s. I know, I know, the R6 has more power. But, how can you consider a
ZX6R as a beginner bike, and an R6 as a death bike for a beginner?

By the way, I was not considering the fact of a new bike, but power
comparisons. Never get a new first bike though... I did, and regret it.

some sense of caution and self control. Or you can try out the YZF600. I
bought it as my first bike and love it. It's a great everyday and long
rides. The FZR 600 is also great for weekend rides (no long distance).
Other alternatives; ZX6 and the Katana. Both of those you can find for
decent $$$ for brand new. And if you haven't done so yet, take the Rider's
safety coures. Most schools supply the bikes, so if you drop them, it won't
hurt your wallet.
Have fun riding.

Buy a 5 year old used Suzuki GS500E or Kawasaki EX500. Neither bike has
changed much over that time. You should be able to buy a real clean one
for $1500-$2000. Ride it for six months and then sell it for about the
same money that you bought it for. Then buy the R6 if you want to.

I think a Hayabusa or top Ducati, or even an R1 might be better for a
beginner.

not like you can grow out of it fast. From what I have heard, not only is it
a good begginer bike, but it isn't shy with power, and you will get plenty
of joy out of it for the buck.

close in comparison that anyone would kill themselves on any one of the
awesome 4. Horsepower wise they are all within .5 horsepower except the
gixxer. I own a 98 zx6r and have toasted all r6's that come into play. They
are not to be underestimated though. With the right rider on these bikes they
all perform identical that in real life the normal rider would not be able to
notice any difference at all.
Kurt
the 1/4 I think that it was at 10.62 for the R6 and 11.2 for the next fastest
600?
I will look for my mag and verify the results..

few that puts the r6 right beside the f4 and behind the 6r. Thats in
magazines. Real life is different. I have smoked r6's with my 6r.
Frank
1/4 times are not indicative of horsepower sometimes, the mph is. I have
heard people going 9.3s on the Hayabusa @ 150 mph(www.dragbike.com) The
average has been 9.8 or so. Funny how the ZX9 miraculously pulled a 9.98. If
the rider is good enough low ET is easily attainable. Still cant get over a
stock bike doing 9.30s though. Jeez that new Kawi ZX whatever, is going to
be insane!! Mags have tendency to correct times.

With the back tire spinning in the first 3 gears. Yeah right, why don't
you go put a 280 chevy tire on your little 6R and take it for a sping.
Fart while you go so there will a little more boost. Oh yeah, what does
a R6 look like anyway? 17 headlights?

faster. Unless you are racing a 500 rebel with 6r, it will be 99% rider and
1% bike. I gaurantee that in the case of the r6 vs 6r that if the riders
swapped bikes the same rider would win. The same is true for cars. It takes
a lot of skill to launch a bike quick and hard. It also does a lot of wear
and tear on the bike which many people are not willing to subject their bike
to.

Yes, I always find it quite funny how people carry on about how their bike
is a tick faster than someone elses, when most riders, and me especially,
will never use the full potential of that bike. A well set up bike, that
makes the rider grin from ear to ear, is the best bike, even if it isn't the
fastest around. No matter what you buy, there will almost always be someone
faster. Except some of those Busa owners.
