Along the same lines as the GSXR/Katana type deals...the 600R is more comfortable, and basically the same bike as the R6..just not quite as aggressive styling, etc.

I don't know. Something about it just doesn't click with me. The front end looks a little old style.

Exactly my thoughts. That's not even retro, it's a page out of 1989.

 

[Need4Speed]

kinda reminds me of the old FJR styling on the fairing, etc.

I would much rather purchase the just reduced price on the 2004 R6 i was looking at on sunday. 7300 bucks!!!!

I'm with you. In fact all 2004's are reduced right now, good time to buy with interest rates as low as they are.

Looks the same.......

that fairing is horrid

 

[Need4Speed]

whats that little piece hanging down below the license plate :helpme:

 

[Gas Man]

I believe that is a rear (red) reflector!

The horrid part is the old school headlight setup!

 

[GSXR1000DJ]

Yep. It is. Looks like my brother...retarded. LOL

:skep: :lol: :lol: :lol:


EDIT - btw, for the sort of bike it is, I think the Honda F4i would be a far better option.

At least it looks modern, this is just so damn ugly :bash: :flush:
