uh ...i agree....but i think a bike is only as powerful as the riders right hand lets it be. with that said ill contradict myself by saying there are certain bikes that i dont think would be good beginners bikes.... Busa, RC51, GSXR1000, ZX12...you get the idea... too much bike IMO (not just power tho)


PS thanks again Integrate for the referral to Honda East in Toledo.... i just paid for my bike...now i gotta find time to drive 18hrs round trip and get it

I'm leaning towards the RR simply because I think the R6 isn't too great looking up front...

I was having a hell of a time trying to decide between the R6 and the RR. I originally put a deposit down for the R6, switched it over to the RR, then switced it back to the R6 and was bumped down on the waiting list so I had to wait an additional month. I'm sure the RR is an excellent bike. If I could have them both I would, but I decided on the R6 for its lightweight and ergonomics. The R6 just fit me so well, like the S2000. The debate between the two is like the debate between the S2000 and the 350Z. In my opinion, the R6 and the S2000 go together like the RR and the 350Z go together.

Anyways, I said that neither bike is a beginner bike because both bikes are not very forgiving for the novice rider who's not used to the handling characteristics of an aggressive sport bike.
