  • My big man
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 19, 2011

I have ridden it all summer and it has given me more confidance to push it. I just recently hit 110 on the HOV, after ...

  • awesome bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 12, 2011

    The 06 gixxer 600 is my first bike...and I love it! Very comfortable and smooth. It'll get up to 100 mph before u even realize. It's got just the amount of power for me as I've only been ridin for about 6 months. But I would buy this bike again in a heart beat. I do plan on eventually buying another ...

With custome paint suspension and motor modifications she rivals the more expensive ...

  • Quick and Fast, as implied
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 05, 2009

    I've put 6,000 miles on this since I bought it lightly used in 2007. The riding position is more comfortable then my older GSX-R. I ride frequently with my girlfriend and this bike can handle our 30-60 minute long trips. The best part about this bike is how pretty it is. it's just stunning, and with ...

  • A Awsome ride
    By  (I am an Owner) on Feb 05, 2009

    I've owned my GSXR-600 for three years and have driven it all the way from NY to Arizona. Handling is so good the bike feels like it's part of your body.

    It has never been a problem. I would buy it again in a second.

  • Excellent bike!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 28, 2008

    I have owned one of these for over a year now and I absolutely love it. While it is not a good starter bike (because of how capable it is) if you know what you are doing, this is an excellent tool to have on your side. The suspension is "inspiring" to say the least, but as with all sport bikes, ...

    All in all A++, if you know what your doing on a sport bike, this one will NOT let you down!

    I have chosen a picture without the plastics on to show just how easy it is to work on the thing.

  • 19,000 miles and counting
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 24, 2008

    I bought this bike new in late '06 and have racked up over 19,000 miles in two years. I love the looks, performance and it drives like new. I would certainly by this bike again...and in time will buy another GSX-R.

  • 2006 GSXR 600
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 21, 2008

    I sold my 2002 GSXR 600 and bought my current bike, a Silver/White 2006 GSXR 600. The bike is AWESOME, very easy to handle and ride. The power is perfect for me being a novice street bike rider. I love GSXR's, they are great looking, great riding. I have not had any problems at all with this bike. ...

  • 2006 GSX-R 600
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 17, 2008

    This is my second GSXR 600 and feel that it is more than enough power for what I need. With a few minor upgrades it makes a teriffic track bike ie. 520 Conversion with a -1 +2 sprocket change, SS Brake lines with Vesrah pads, Stomp grips, Woodcraft Frame sliders, engine covers, and clipons. The bike ...

    When I rated this bike you have to understand...I only did the upgrades for safety and my own protction and increase my ability to control the bike better than stock. So I gave it a 4

    Its a sport bike its not meant to be a crusier for comfort, also gave it a 4. If i wanted comfort I would have bought a Boulevard M109.

    When I bought mine in 2006, I got a great deal and it was cheaper than any other comparable model in its class.
