I loved my blue CBR600RR...I could see you on it...

micko24 · 03-08-2010, 01:23 PM

i do like the white CBR.

BuellCru · 03-08-2010, 01:24 PM

The gixxer in idaho falls and the first cbr 600 looks like pretty good deals.

AndrewM87 · 03-08-2010, 01:25 PM

That blue cbr is very nice. Just my opinion. All nice, but, I love that blue cbr.

Ryan@IdahoSportBikes · 03-08-2010, 01:26 PM

The first GSXR or the first CBR. Pick the one you like the looks of best or if you've ridden both pick the one you feel most comfortable on. Neither one is better or worse than the other. They are both amazing bikes.

*Wyld Angel* · 03-08-2010, 01:36 PM

white cbr ftw

Acate65 · 03-08-2010, 01:39 PM

i didnt post it for myself. just wondering what everyone thinks about them. which looks the best. best deal. etc..

loopy · 03-08-2010, 01:41 PM

well hell if you want to ride a cbr to see if its somthing you want pm me we can meet up and you can ride around on mine

Skorch · 03-08-2010, 01:47 PM

lol nice looks like my little bro got a head start im actually the one thats lookin to buy. ive actually only ridden a ninja so im a little unsure. i like the blue cbr, the white gsxr is alright for some reason it looks plan compared to the cbr to me. cbr looks a little expensive though. what do you guess think cbr vs gsxr?

Acate65 · 03-08-2010, 01:52 PM

just figure out whats more comfortable. try his cbr

steven32 · 03-08-2010, 01:53 PM

The white gixxer is what I race - great bike. Too bad they pulled the stickers off, as they gave the bike some needed color.

The blue/white gixxer is over priced for this economy.

Another white gixxer, 8K is what you can get that bike new for... way over priced.

CBRs - not my style but a good bike. Take up Loopy's offer and see if you like it or not.

Skorch · 03-08-2010, 02:20 PM

thats exactly what i thought, the sticker pretty much made that bike.

lost cause · 03-08-2010, 03:03 PM

blue cbr

I have the OEM bodywork for the 08 sitting in my garage. Also you can get some custom stickers made for next to nothing. It might just be those photos, but I don't recall the silver on the side panels being that dark.

Skorch · 03-08-2010, 03:29 PM

how about this one. its a year newer cheaper, a awesome color, and less miles. but its a ways away.

I like both the blue and the orange CBRs.

As far as being far away, weigh the cost of gas to go there/check it out, and transport it back + cost of bike vs the local choice. Might also see if they could meet you somewhere in the middle (not likely but worth suggesting - if they are motivated to sell it, you might be surprised).

In any case (as several have suggested) take Loopy up on his offer, and also test ride the GSXR, see which fits you better for comfort, riding position, etc. Comfort/handling trumps looks (just barely

).

R1DON · 03-08-2010, 04:07 PM

i like the looks of the blue cbr

lil_schmitty · 03-08-2010, 04:46 PM

all of them are over priced. Keep an eye out and you can get an 06 for about 4k.

Ryan@IdahoSportBikes · 03-08-2010, 05:25 PM

cbr vs gsxr?? Take your pick.
Any of the new bikes are so close to the same the only difference you'll ever notice is your own personal preference in how it feels comfort wise & which you like the look of the best.

One might feel a little better in the corners to you or one might pull harder from a dead stop or a roll on. It's only going to be minor differences. Really you couldn't say one is better than the the other.

That's my 2 cents.

shaner · 03-08-2010, 05:36 PM

If you want a 600RR I know a guy with an 03 that would probably sell for real cheap if cash was waived at him. Nice bike too. As for what you have posted, the very first Gixxer is the best deal imo. If you are interested in the one in Portland my sister lives there so I could hook you up with a free place to crash for the night.

speaking of you sis i went to school with her lol
sorry about the thread jack !!

CBRF2Old · 03-08-2010, 06:43 PM

I would have to say that you should try one out. I rode a newer CBR600RR and found that I was cramped up on it compared to the 91 CBR. Just saying that if you find the bike uncomfortable and can't change rearsets, seat, etc to make it better, it is a bad buy. BTW, I like the blue CBR.
Then again, maybe I don't have enough seat time on an RR. Loopy, can I borrow yours for a couple of days?

looks bone stock I would consider that one most guys who leave their stuff bone stock aren't interested in impressing someone on their bike which tells me it is probably adult owned never been abused etc.etc.

It would be an awesome bike cept its a Honda.

Once you go Pitbull, you'll never go back.

A buddy has one similar to that, only the rear wheel fell off so it makes putting the bike up and down a PITA. Other than that not too bad.

i would get a pitbull stand if i could afford it. so would this set not be a safe one to get?

Or it means they are too poor for anything aftermarket and don't have the money to maintain it properly either.

Skorch · 03-09-2010, 10:58 AM

well i called about the orange bike with no answer and no call back yet. I did a little more research and it looks like the guy has 2 other bikes hes selling also. I dont know if thats a good or a bad thing, makes me a little nervous.

He might just buy repo's or auction bikes.

Skorch · 03-09-2010, 01:19 PM

Yeah, just found out hes a dealer. looks like that bike is out of the picture.
