I would say check out the 07-08 CBR600RR, but right now they’re selling for about $5.5k and higher Just use SearchTempest to search all the craigslist’s within a 100 mile radius, you should find a deal somewhere on a GSXR or an R6 ---

You should deffinetly look into a cbr. I always wanted a gsxr and when I went to buy one I sat on both the gsxr and cbr and found that the cbr was more comfortable. Im 6 foot and I look like a monkey fucking a coconut on it but I feel like I can sit more upright and not all of my weight is on my wrists. Handles extremely well and not bad power for being a 600. Of course you can say I’m bias because that’s the bike I own but I was completely opposed to owning anything but a gsxr and now I know not to rule out any bike. ---

I owned a 2006 R6 (not S) and currently own a 2007 (identical bikes really) and love them both. Granted I am not an extremely aggressive rider nor am I a stunter but I feel much more comfortable on my bikes then I have on my brothers GSXR’s. Maybe I am just used to my own bike and have grown accustomed to how they feel/ride but they have been great to me. I feel natural leaning the bike over without a problem. Not one mechanical issue either. Just have done regular maintenance (oil, filters, chain lube, etc) and not a problem. The R6 does sit fairly tall in comparison to the others so if that’s a concern be warned. I am 5’9" and it’s perfect for me.
