Had a 2012 600, great little bike . Traded it for a 14gixxer 1000, another stand out ! Current bike is a 21 Busa. Suzuki has a definite intake sound that the rider hears more than the exhaust. Good for keeping the peace in town. Glad you enjoyed it , maybe try to have a little more structure on your review s , like start with your opinion of looks , then comfort, then ride and some it up . Good job , keep doing reviews. Chris
I wanna say big things to all of you for watching my video or videos and subscribing. I really appreciate it. I plan to take the channel as far as I can. I just need to support from you guys. thanks again, and I hope all of you Ryders are staying safe
If you live somewhere with a lot of city streets a parallel twin is a no brainer, near instant torque in the low and mid range usually and their cheaper
I’m riding a SV1000s, which is a vtwin, and it’s a little of fun. The massive torque makes it a blast to ride in the city, but this engine also revs nicely. So, the bike the twin is in makes a difference too.
I have a 2024 gsxr1000 and a 2024 gsxr600. I love the gsxr600 and how nimble it is and how it digs in to the pavement in high speed turns. I feel more confident on the gsxr600 than on my gsxr1000. Plus it winds out to 169mph pretty quick with me and I weigh 225lbs and I'm 6' tall.
I think you’ll really love the Yamaha R7 special with exhaust and a tune and a good filter set up. Your top speed will be more like 160 and they are beating the 600s on some race tracks. They have a lot of torque.
@@MasonJackman-d1e I already got it and I love it. It is my favorite bike so far. I do love my R1 but for street riding it just doesn’t make sense so I spend most of my time now on the seven unless my girlfriend wants to ride with me then we take the R1 due to its weight and ergonomics it just makes more sense for riding with a passenger… also thanks for the comment. You’re the first person that didn’t say anything negative about me wanting an R7 lol
If Yamaha still made the R6, I may question that as far as my opinion goes, but with them not making the R6 anymore I agree this is definitely my favorite 600
The GSXR is a way better street bike then the R6. It’s makes more power over the RPM band then the R6 does, the R6’s only advantage is screaming at high RPM’s where it puts down a little more whp. The GSXR also has more relaxed ergo’s.
I’m debating on getting a ninja 400 or a gsxr 600 I’m concerned about outgrowing the ninja too fast but also knew the gsxr is a beast and you gotta respect it I’ve rode dirt bikes my whole life but this is gonna be my first street bike
@@walmartlok4809 I started on a 400 (still have it and about to buy a 600/750) I don't regret it at all but I think its a personal choice that you have to make. If you trust yourself to have the discipline to start higher then a 600 is fine but a 400 is enough to have fun with while you're beginning, just try and buy outright so you can sell and upgrade when you're ready
have a k6 and an mt10 i put more miles on the gixxer than the mt ifucking love that gixxer i rode alot of diff bikes but the gixxer has got the most character for sure
R7 and gxsr are apples to oranges. R7 is inline twin and gixxer is 4 cylinder. Can't believe people are even comparing them. Why are you guys discouraging the OP from getting an R7?? He likes it
It's a decent bike... Not overly fast, but its quick and solid and will last forever. I do wish that Suzuki would get with the times with regards to electronics. To sell a sportbike in 2023 that doesn't have ABS or traction control, or even a quickshifter? It's like they just stopped trying in 2012 or so... Other than color changes, they haven't done a thing with the 600/750 in 13 years...
@@SquireSCA really not needed. maybe quick shifter would be nice. not adding all that stuff means a more affordable bike and you're more in control of the bike.
@@flyingiguana409 Gonna disagree there. Between the wife and I... 47 bikes between us over the years... You aren't in more control without electronics. Being in control, is not the same as having more control. There is no reason to not have basic electronics these days. You wouldn't get a car without ABS or traction control, why would not you want it on a bike? Modern electronics make you faster, not slower. Go do a track day with us on a bike without any electronics, and then ride one with traction, lift control, slide control and a quickshifter and see which one you post a faster lap time. Go into any race paddock on the planet, and unless its a vintage class, you won't find a bike without some sort of electronics package. And affordable is relative. The new Street Triple RS 765 costs the same as the 750, but it has a quickshifter with auto blip, Ohlins, Brembo M50's or Sylema's I forget which... Has an IMU, full electronics package, factory braided steel brake lines, Super Corsa SP3 tires, TFT dash, the list goes on... And packs a 2 year warranty. For the same price, might actually be a couple hundred cheaper. Even the Kawi ZX6R 636 has basic ABS and Traction plus a quickshifter, and its 2 grand cheaper...
@@ccb7122 bought the gsxr. It suited my riding style more compared to the honda. I ride everyday and the gsxr felt more comfortable. Both are great options and it’s pretty much up to which one you like better.
I was just about to advise the same thing before I realized you’d made the choice. The GSX-R600 will be more roomy and comfortable and still extremely capable/fast, while the CBR is a more compact and more stiff machine that is probably better for a smaller person and/or track riding.
They need to make an R9. I’m personally more of a fan of faired bikes, but my commute is 50 miles one way and consists 1/3 of a twistier 2 lane state highway, and 2/3 interstate riding. Having some wind protection is nice on the interstate specifically
Dude, DO NOT get the R7. Trust me, you’ll be sorely disappointed if you get an R7 after riding a GSX-R600, the Suzuki is a real sportbike and the Yamaha is a fake one, a weak twin in sportbike clothes.
Ahhh, I see. Well in that case, buy one and enjoy. I just think the R7 engine is mismatched to the fairings and riding position, it’s a low-to-mid speed engine in a high-speed fairing and riding position.
A real sport bike according to what? The supersport class is basically dying and twins cup racing is exploding in popularity. Motoamerica twins is really popular and BSB is replacing SS with twins. So I'm not sure by which metric you are grading a bike, but there's absolutely nothing wrong or worse about the R7.
In my view, it’s an MT-07 with fairings. It’s not a sport bike. A sport bike is an R6, the old R7’s, the R1, etc. An R9 on the new CP3 engine would qualify as a sport bike. The R7 isn’t anything beyond an economically-efficient and boring engine design, with very low power compared to any true 3 or 4 cylinder sport bikes. It’s just not in the same class of machine, being closer to an SV650. And even that bike has an actual v-twin that sounds great and is smooth as butter because it’s a real v-twin, not a fake one like the CP2.
600's do NOT pull like a liter bike does. your cbr600rr will not outrun a cbr1000rr fireblade! Sorry to burst yer bubble, but it is just not going to happen!
The R7 is going to feel nothing like that. Two totally different bikes. Gsxr is an inline 4 and the r7 is a parralel twin. Also please dont ride 55 in neighborhoods, respect people.
