Ok as most of u know ive been looking around for a bike for awhile now. Been looking around for an R6. I’ve found a few at Troy City and JAf in glenville. Would it be worth it buying from a dealer or try and get a personal loan and buying it used from someone of the mean streetzzzzz??? ---

If you buy from a dealer, you’ll be required to get full coverage on it. The only place I know of that will let you fly with only liability is Griffin Motorsports. ---

Liability is almost nothing on them, full coverage is ridiculous. Before you go and splurge on anything, make sure you know you can afford it. ---

Also most people don’t know this, but you can buy it from a dealer even if they require full coverage after the first month you can drop it to liability only. But keep in mind its a brand new bike and anything can happen, its not gonna hurt to have full coverage unless your hard up for cash. ---

full coverage for my 08 gsxr 1000 is only 450yr! w/ a horrible driving record. It used to be like 5000 a year for full coverage, this is my 9th sportbike and is the first bike i’v had full coverage on. Seymours has atleast 10 banks that do not require full coverage. call the laughlin agency, there wicked cheap 315-785-2453 ---

The only place I know of that will let you fly with only liability is Griffin Motorsports. actually you dont need full coverage you just need an isurance binder saying you would have full coverage then when the loans approved you call the insurance comapny and get card for liability but if this is youre first ride I would suggest full coverage youre going to drop it despite what anyone says ---

I’d love to see one reasonable justification other then looks to choose the R6 over other supersports of other brands. I’m not even expecting any logic behind it as a first bike. ---

Who cares, if thats what he wants to buy, so be it. I never got why people had to “justify” what they are buying. ---
