I haven't ridden either of these bikes in a current form, so I can't really offer insight. But the R6 looks prettier.

The interceptor is a bit heavy, but both bikes have some good street torque, and I really like my VFR750, for a street bike its nice to have that extra bit of torque and a slightly less extreme riding position, as well as a much more comfortable seat and headlights that actually work.

Oh and the Interceptor has a V-4 with VTEC

wow didn't think this thread would be this popular.....
to be honest it will be some time before i see a bike but the poll is helping....
I need a more forgiving bike and possibly going to used teritory.....either way honda or yamaha are the way to go for me.....

Cant go wrong with either.. I cant decide either.

Suzuki GS500 :)
That's what I have.
Start small, learn.. and then move to something bigger.
Don't forget to wear your gear.
Ride safe.

startin off, yea, go w/ a 500 or something, but if you are a quick learner, go w/ a 600 or 750, because once you get used to the smaller one, you will want to upgrade. i kno its not on your poll but, GSX-R ftw!!!

I didn't realize this was your first bike, if it is then definitely look at a ninja 250, 500, or 650, a gs500, or a sv650

Brakes on new SS bikes are very dangerous for new riders.

***fiji06si13*** · 05-07-2008, 08:04 PM

wow CBR is winning like crazy....

Bandit03 · 05-07-2008, 08:17 PM

i dont like honda bikes really, i feel like honda stole their design from the yamahas with the split headlight and the exhaust under the seat , id consider a gsxr600 if i were you from what i have read it seems like they are plenty fast and comfortable

**dentrecords** · 05-07-2008, 08:50 PM

added a new option to the poll

go with an SV650S, EX500, GS500 or something of the like to start off with.. a supersport 600 is only the 3rd worst bike to start on (2nd being a literbike, most being a hayabusa/zx-14)..

The new liter bikes may be worse than the hyperbikes, people who have owned both say that bikes like the gsxr1000 are much twitchier and power wheelie easier, and the brakes are twitchier as well when compared to something like the 'busa.

Modern SS bikes have gotten insane.

Bandit03 · 05-07-2008, 08:58 PM

wtf are you kidding me, why is that even in there

Debo · 05-07-2008, 09:38 PM

my first bike was a gsx-r 750 back in 2003 bought it new. a 600cc is perfect 1st bike and i like suzuki but if i was to choosed between the cbr or the r6 i would take the r6.
