    Okay...post up what you ride.
    Im in full buying mode right now. Just curious how many ride...I know theres at least 6 or 7

    I found a good bike on craigslist....ends up that the dude is in London, wants me to put money in an escrow, says he moved from NY to London.....gave me a VIN, and I googled it and an ebay listing came up from Florida! lol. Total Scam.
    Also claims that the Porsche Red bodypaint was stock paint, lol. There goes that deal. He said that he would ship it to me, I could ride it for 3 days, and then decide, haha.

    I had the Yamaha 600-R. ...but sold it two weeks ago behind the purpose of reducing some bills. Only after thoroughly smoking Damir through the canyon. :D :p

    Someday I'll be on an R1, but it's about that time in life, to give up the toys and knuckle down on getting life settled.

    2003 R6 had a WICKED black with red flames paint job that was absolutely beautiful.

    Any of the F4i's are good bikes, though a tad small for me. I'm not sure about your dimensions, but the Honda's feel a little short and narrow for my 220 lb, 6'4 frame.

    have you ridden before? R6 is not a starter bike from what I hear (you really have to muscle it around)


    for ares: I have a honda spree 50cc, only good for around the town stuff. Not considering selling it at the moment since it's all I have.

    I have ridden before, but the R6 isnt the greatest beginner bike, which is another reason I dont want it.

    R6: (600cc)

    my uncle had an R6. he unfortunately died because of it... when he bought his R6 i asked him: "you have enough money to buy an R1, why dont you?" he answered - "driving the R6 is good enough and dangerous enough, what more an R1"

    no i know about the r6 about the 600cc thats actually one reason why they call it R6, for 600 cc

    but i was referring to corollabest's 50cc honda spree, ive seen those around and i smoked it but with my 450cc killer dirtbike

    but i know the r6 is a killer, never rode one, can i go to a dealer and test drive it? or will they look at me and throw a pie in my face?

    o and is it all motorcycles? cuase my dirtbike, whenever im going really fast, and i let go of the throttle, it makes that popping sound like my exhaust, but a lot more, and it also makes a blueish/yellowish at the tip flame out of my exhaust, does this happen to my corolla too???

    Most will say no. If you want to test drive a private sellers bike, come with cash in hand. If ya crash it, they keep the money. If ya dont, they give it back. (unless you want the bike)

    eventually I'm looking to get a buell blast 500 because they're cheap used and have the best mileage of any 500 size I've found.

    Dirtbikes have a tendancy to pop...especially 2 strokes, 4 strokes, not so much.

    Sounds like a fuel issue. You're getting too much of either air or fuel. Check the plugs too.

    2006 Yamaha FZ-6 pic in sig.
    I love this bike because its easy to ride but still has plenty of balls when you need it. The FZ-6 is powered by a modified R6 motor.

    really??? it only really started doing this when i installed my exhaust

    and a bunch of guys at la grange track said it was normal

    cuase my corolla, does the same and thats a 4 stroke


    im not worrying about the popping it sounds cool

    but the blue flame, its visible in the exhaust of my dirtbike, but on my corolla, that would be sweeet!

    do you have any riding experience? if not... 600 and below is good...
    i love my 600rr, i also have a 600f4i... less probs with hondas... and it handles very well. f4i is more comfortable... and forgiving...
