R1 and R6?
-
i'm a total bike noob. pardon me.
when people say R1 and R6, which marque do they refer to? the Yamaha or Suzuki? -
that is Yamaha....
R1 is 1000cc.. R6 is 600cc..
Suzuki is K 6.... -

-
if not wrong a 1st hand would be around 23 to 25 thousand .

is it still true that the R1 is still the cheapest sportsbike in its class? as in the 1000cc category.
-

How much for a Fireblade 1000?
-
should be around the same price. depends on what year you're gettingOriginally posted by viciouskitty74:How much for a Fireblade 1000? -
drools at word Fireblade.Originally posted by kopiosatu:should be around the same price. depends on what year you're getting

prefers the honda bikes.
less speeding problem and easier to repair or replace parts.
the gix 1000 is also a nice choice.
avoid going for the yamahas cos of their persistent suspension problem. 1 year and it wears out too fast.
any r1 and r6 riders care to comment? -
i dunno, i'm using a FJR and i only heard bad things about the ST11 suspensions prior to buying this bike.
no sports bikes for me. -
Hmm...lets share stories then.Originally posted by kopiosatu:i dunno, i'm using a FJR and i only heard bad things about the ST11 suspensions prior to buying this bike.

I know of fjr being cheaper then the STX, but it still has the inherent problem with the front suspension/tensioner after 1 year of usage.
can folks here advise are tensioner/suspension the same thing?
Sorry, I cant ride ST11/STX or the FJR. My legs too short. -
i know someone who can comment on the STX, skeujin... where are you?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Hmm...lets share stories then.

i can't comment on my FJR yet because it hasn't gone past 1 year, with the problems you've listed i hope they fixed it on the '06 model already.
but i do know i love the FJR for now, and like what the bike magazine calls it "a rocketship of a tourer" with 145bhp coming out of a tourer, the power ain't bad. -

Just spoken to my friend, he mentioned to date the issue is not solve for new CBR1000.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Hmm....how to rectify it or how was it identifiable?
If you already have 1, when the problem arise, you have a few option, to change a brand new magnetic coil which cost a few hundred dollars or to recoil the old 1 which will only last perhap another 3 month, depending on the rider or sell the bloody bike. -
Hope your friend came back to singapore safetly. One of my friend happened when in msia (if i dint remember wrongly). Go in as a rider and came back as a pillion. So sian...Originally posted by gUms:my friend cbr1000 coil fried when on de way to hatyai

i always wanted a hayabusa.
in the end i got a fjr.
now the gsx 1000 looks fun... haya's appeal is dying because it seems like almost everyone has it.
i hope suzuki comes up with a haya 2 to challenge the ZZR1400 -
