If you want to have a chat then you should come into coffee on a Friday night and chat to myself and the others.

Friday night coffee




I guessing based on your username you are leaning towards the 1000RR, here's a few threads by another Aussie on here that might help with your decision....

New Gixxers aren't all that!


1000RR, Oh my god

Having said that have you tried out the 600RR?.....god damn its a hell of a lot of fun to ride.

So I'd highly recommend that you get some seat time on both the 1000RR and 600RR (and I guess the gixxer as well to be fair) before you put any money down....



Also don't forget to factor in insurance,




I rushed getting the bike and paid for it big time, both in cost and the quality of service that I got, as a result I'd highly recommend you don't get your bike from Peter Stevens and you definitely don't get it serviced at their North Melbourne centre. I got seriously Screwed by Peter Stevens

Where I paid around $21k including on roads, a week later I discovered this

These days I go to Redwing in Heidelberg and get an infinitely better service.

If you want to test ride some Hondas then you'd want to keep you eye on the Honda rider clubs events or hassle one of the Honda Authorised Dealers for a ride.


Yep....that should just about do it for the link quota today......

Careful matt, you'll scare him away

Hey Baccy I wouldn't worry about AIDS or TB, those virii aren't small enough to fit inside you so you should be fine.

05 blade you have made a wise choice, you won't be sorry. Theres quite a few aussies from down melbournes SE corridor

I'd be going the gixxer 1k from all accounts. Hey, I haven't ridden either of them so who the hell knows! If you want my real opinion, buy a 10R instead (evil ulterior motive here). Just buy what you like the look and feel of best, the rest is all the rider. See if you can get some good test rides, including city traffic, tight roads and open roads, and some decent bumpy roads too. If there's anything that stands out and kinda pisses you off on the test ride, rest assured it'l piss you off alot more when you're living with the bike every day. I'd be waiting to see what Suzuki says about that frame snap though first!

Hey, hey, hey.....enough of this you lot

You're wasting some good "Aussie" thread material. Maybe someone should ask if conq can merge the two threads
