im thinking of buying a sports bike

well im looking at maybe chopping the fazer in for a ninja 636 or cbr. It seems plenty of peeps have the zx and they seem very popular, now im getting a bit faster id like something that corners and handles a bit better than me fz6. ive seen nice ones around too, going for some testrides this weekend!!

at last you come to the dark side my boy

And there was me thinking that you werent into hands down and bum up…

The 636/zx6r is a good bike, there was a post on here a while back discussing all the different models from the A1P upwards, will have to try and find it…

Eh?

You spent all that moolah on pimpin’ your ride and now you’re gonna sell it straight away?..Ok

I reckon you should get even more familiar with your bike then get rid of it next year…Then you’ll really appreciate something more powerful between your legs…er hmmm

Make sure it’s a good colour on you. I don’t see you on a green Kwak.

no…get the new fazer 1000.you know you wona

gsxr go for a gsxr !!! go on… u know u wana …

but the ninja is affordable and nicer looking…

We have a few nice ones - come and see me!!

nicer looking!?!?!?1 how dare you, how very dare u !!! lol, what year??

Seriously. Westie, no green.

If you’ve got money to spend do some training.

A day or two with CSS or similar and all of a sudden your Fazer will seem to handle a lot better.

Get your Fazer on track. You’ll pass R1s, Blades, GSXRs and big Kwaks that are all being ridden badly. I found it a big confidence booster, if they pass you it’s the bike, mine makes about 80hp so no wonder something lighter with twice horses goes past. If you pass them you’re a God.

Novice to novice - The bike’s not holding you back, you’re holding it back.

Good for you!

I would always suggest a CBR as they are such easy sportsbikes to ride but after seeing the Triumph 675 last night… I don’t know!

If you want someone to go bike shopping with, I’ll come.

ID GO WITH A GSXR EVERYTIME!!! THERE SEXY!!!

Save your money stick with the Fazer… mucho better round town etc and on bumpy B roads etc. Whatever you get unless your rossi or someone there’s pretty much always far more ability in the bike than the rider.

As suggested above, maybe if you have money to burn, spend it on something like California Superbike school.

about time mate you’ll love the upgrade, sports 600 are a world of diff from the fazer

my mate’s black 636 was a really good bit of kit (before it got nabbed). looked quality

dont get a green one tho

return your bike to standard and flog the bits on fleabay (unless you’ve got someone who’ll give you fair val for them)

well guys thanks for the comments, lustie i may take you up on that!.

Hmm well i certainly dont have money to burn!, thats why im looking at something older 2000-2003. I know i cant keep both and i like the fazer but ive started thinking about a sportsbike as a change. Atleast i can see a few and ride a few first.

You are going to loose money by chopping in the Fazer so soon after buying it, plus all the extras you’ve put on it. I’d say keep the Fazer but at the end of the day it is a personal thing and it does seem the majority of people round here are into the sports bike thing. Difficult not to feel a bit of envy.

BTW if you can afford it go for something like an 04 R6. You know Yamaha makes sense.

+1 04 or 05 R6 bikes can be had for pretty cheap…The 05 was the last and best version of the bike for the road.

Looks good, goes great…Yep, it’s a Yamaha.

PS. Get the one in black with red rim trim…Sexy.

Just what do you all have against green, besides the fact green ninjas look like warp speed snot? Oh wait, that’s a pretty good reason…

But still, Kwak green… can’t beat it
