Just for starters I AM aware that this IS an R1 forum. However, the gsxr forum and almost ALL other forums that I am a member of are all full of people that just like to talk trash and bash on others posts. I think this one is the most informative out of ALL of them and has the most mature crowd out of them all as well that is why I am posting my question here and not in another site. My bike history (If you dont know or remember) I owned a 2007 zzr600 first put about 15k miles on it, purchased a 2005 636 put about 10k miles on it, got a 2007 zx10 put about 8k miles on it (laid it down, fixed it and sold it) bought a 2003 R1 put about 5k on it then sold it and bought the 1200 sporty and put 129 miles on it and sold it a few weeks ago.....
Regretably I sold my "REAL" bike during the riding season last year to see if the grass was greener on the HARLEY side of the fence :dunno. However, I quickly found out that it truly was the exact opposite for me anyway. I bought a 1200 sportster just to try it out. I HATED it to say the least I owned it for a total of 4 months and put a whoping 129 miles on it!! Luckily I was able to sell it and get my money back out of it a couple weekends ago!! I am in the market for another REAL bike now. I have been looking around and I found a few bikes and that is where you guys come in, I need HELP deciding! I cannot make my mind up AT ALL! I have not even been to see any of them yet because I cannot decide which one I want to go look at!! Here is the list that I have narrowed it down to. I know all the bs about the one that fits you best and the one that you like the best after you go out and ride them all and that all of the big 4 are almost tit for tat blah blah blah I know all that good stuff I am just wanting some REAL opinions from some REAL people! 2006 GSXR 1000 in great shape for a good price, I found a 2004 R1 that needs repairing which is obviously for a better price, and a 2007 CBR 1000 that is the most expensive. All are under 10k miles and all are in my acceptable price range $5-6k. I do about 2 track days per year and ride twisties on street I also use for a daily when weather permits and do an ocasional wheelie or two but no indos or strictly stunt riding days. ANY advice will be benificial to me! Thanks in advance!
