Well, if you're a new rider I suggest buying an old bike you won't mind dropping. I got my motorcycle license after taking an MSF course about a year ago and I thought about buying a shiny new bike. After checking out finance options and talking to other riders, I finally decided to look for a used bike. It took almost a year but I finally found one. It's a 1976 Honda CB550. You can check it out at somemonkey.com

Now that I got an old fixer-upper I no longer want a new bike. In fact, I think I'll respect this bike much more because I'm the one who brought her back from the grave. Also, if I drop her, (which I know it's only a matter of time) I won't feel as bad as if I dropped an $8,000 bike.

If you're not a new rider and know what your'e doing.... get the Yamaha R6. Those bikes are cool.

Just so happen to have the specs on both from this months issue of CW. They did another shootout for the sport bikes of '07. Here you go.

GSX-R750:
Dry Weight - 417lbs.
HP - 127hp
Top Speed - 168mph
Fuel Mileage - 38mpg

YZF-R6
Dry Weight - 394lbs.
HP - 108hp
Top Speed - 154mph
Fuel Mileage - 40mpg

There you go. A lot of the guys I talk to say the R6 is a fun bike for in town and such, but the GSXR is a bike that has a lot of potential if you want to step it up a little and not spend the $$$ on the GSXR1000. Plus you won't really notice the extra 20lbs while you're out on the road anyway. Good luck!
