    you always lose money trading, is it worth the difference?

    my biggest problem with the 500r is the exhaust is on the sides right next to my legs and the back tire is really thin.

    the zx-6r has the exhaust under the seat and i would not be able to burn by legs in the summer. and the back tire is 5.3 in compared to the front 4.7 in. not a big difference but it helps in the traction.

    I had an 05 636 with Two brothers exhaust/power commander and some other goodies. I had a gs500f before that and after riding the 636 I would never go back to a 500cc.

    You will love that bike.......

    I was a HUGE Suzuki fan till last years 600 and 1000 came out with that shitty design. Not the 750 has it this year. They look like ASS.......my opinion of course. I'm in love with a 05 Raven black 06 also 2000-2002 GSX-R's

    now i like the 06 better.

    the exhaust it under the seat and there are no pipes for the pasenger to burn their legs on... (my brother has burned his legs a number of times on the side pipes)

    the blinkers on the 06 are in the side view mirrors... my blinkers on the 500r cracked the body when i fell.

    and overall i think it looks sleeker.

    LMAO your biggest problem sounds like your coming up with excuses to buy a rediculous fast bike.. hahahaha. really the tires are wider so you have more traction.. but there is a reason for that. when your holding a turn at 120mph dragging a knee you need that width. hahaha I say go for it man. Heres my bike fresh from paint.. goota love that subaru blue!!

    oh my god this bike is making me want a bike so bad.

    I think I will get one for college. I'm thinkin either STI or a bike in college (largely dependent on how many bucks i can scrounge up )

    I'm thinking STI is going to be a bit more expensive.

    Wait, you're not in college yet, and you're talking STi resale?

    that's quite daring.

    I think I will get one for college. I'm thinkin either STI or a bike in college (largely dependent on how many bucks i can scrounge up )

    just think about parking... it's easier to find parking for a bike than a car...

    That's essential. It is my personal belief that if you don't have the money to do it by yourself (or with family help) then you should save the money till you can really afford it. All too often, people dig themselves holes with loans / financing.

    i fell on my Ninja so i am really careful when riding.



    This bike is 10x better than the Ninja... and about 50lb lighter. I love the GSX-R
