im looking at these two bikes.
im sure the fz6r would be better being that im a beginner.
has anyone seen these or have opinions on this?

also, why is there such a price difference between dealers?
two that i looked at today for the r6 were 8900 and 10,090.
and i found one online for 7999.

what am i missing??

 

did you tell the dealer asking 10,090 that they were smoking crack?

You can get a new R1 for that.

 

10,090 plus fees of around 350
thats when i brought up that i found it somewhere else for 8k and he told me that would be a scam price and that they would have 1000 in admin fees.

they're crazy....

 

You should go used if you're a noob.

 

with out looking (which i will in a minute) my guess is forks, fairings, maybe a steering dampner, gauges and some other luxuries

 

forks on fz6r are not inverted, r6's are. rear suspension is different as well
swingarm looks different.
r6 compression ratio: 13.1:1 fz6r compression ratio: 12.2:1
r6 has multi plate slipper clutch, fz6r does not
r6 has bigger brakes
fz6r gets better fuel economy by 3mpg

just a fyi, i know the r1's just changed this year so the r6's might be getting an update soon. ive ridden an 09 r6 a few times, rides nice, but i would not want to make trips on it. it is a very friendly bike tho and just ride w/ in your means. i think the extra money is worth it to get the r6, also look at a dealership for a used bike w/ a few hundred miles to save some money. kids always go in and buy them then parents make them bring them back.

 

the only reason i was leaning away from used is because ive heard and seen how other people have used and abused theirs. i really didnt want anyone's wore out bike.

btw, the one dealer had an 07 r6 and was still wanting 7300.

 

200 miles on a bike i really doubt it got abused. most people (there are some idiots) are still in the break in period so it SHOULDN"T have been ridden hard. im not saying go buy a bike w/ 10k on it, if you can save 500 bucks for 200 miles IMO i would. its still a new bike.

 

i have a very nice gsxr 1000 for sale... a 2005, pics in album 7k takes it. its all tuned and has all the extras, hasnt been abused, also fyi only stunting is abuse. they are made to haul ****. the motors are bullet proof, if ur stuck on a 600, get a gsxr
