The YZF600R isn't quite the R6. The R6 is lighter and supposedly has better handling. The 600R is quick, but I'm occasionally having a problem shifting from first to second. The bike sometimes slips and goes into neutral. Apparently, this is common and goes away with time and mileage.
The GB500 is a sharp-looking ride. Is it comfortable? It appears to have a pretty long tank, so I would think you'd need to lean quite a bit to steer. Otherwise, it's got that sweet classic look to it. Is the exhaust loud? I've been looking at all kinds of bikes in preparation for my "next" bike (always thinking too far ahead -- my wife HATES it when I do that). I'm leaning towards Ducati, Aprilia, or Buell. -----Original Message----- From: Cantrell, Adam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 4:05 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Motorcycles! (was Jeep Grand Cherokee) Nice bike, that's the R6 right? I ride a 1989 Honda GB500, it looks like an old norton. It's a pretty rare bike, this returns plenty of pictures of it: http://images.google.com/images?q=GB500&hl=en Looking to get a brand new SuzukiSV650S or a Honda919 this season. A couple years ago I was riding a 89 Kawasaki EX500 ninja with the pink and blue plastic, you probably remember them. Got plenty of shit for the pink plastic, but I only paid $800 for it. I had it running like a race bike before I sold it, the supertrap exhaust would scare even the brashest of Harley riders.
