Daytona is out of budget bro and there are no new legal 600s. I had a 2007 Gixxer 600 in sight however it is grey.
I have seen and heard enough of Ducati horror stories. Its very expensive to maintain and costs a bomb to repair and service. Not for someone like me who uses his bike everyday and for everything.`

One thing i wanted to add about spares etc.

If you crash a superbike which is currently sold in India, you still need to wait for a month or more to get the parts shipped from abroad. Most of these companies do not stock the parts. So having a motorcycle which is being sold in India isn't an advantage in this regard.

You will take the same amount of time to get parts for the R6, in the unfortunate circumstance of a crash. You will of course need to import it, directly or through some of the workshops which work on superbikes.

For regular wear and tear parts, you need to be a little more careful. You need to know your motorcycle inside out. You need to order those parts in advance before you actually require them. A chain and sprocket set might be available off the shelf for bikes sold in India, you will need to be a little more careful with the R6 so that you don't have to park the bike up for a month waiting for parts to arrive.

With a little bit of extra TLC, i think you will find owning the R6 quite rewarding.

My vote therefore goes for the R6

If the rider doesn't have the skills to ride, then it is mostly the liter class bike riding the rider, instead of the other way around!

Only supersports? The street triple 765 rs is the nakedish bike for the track, it's heaps of fun in the road n track. And yes ducati is expensive and not the most reliable, if your looking at the r1, what about the gsxr1000, CBR 1000rr,zx10r(most common), etc or is that you only prefer Yamaha in this category?

My heart too goes for R6 however I am worried that I may start missing R1s power. Once I buy one, I will keep




yes, only supersport for now. I have owned too many nakeds and now finally want a full faired bike for a change. All Honda, Suzuki and Kawsakis so far been out of budget , bad condition or Grey. The R1 I have in sight is owned by a friend and is maintained excellently, has clean papers and no accident history. Same with the R6.

The new fireblade is supposed to be the cheapest litre offering in our marker, and the 2017 model is packed with soo many goodies and it won mcn 1000cc shootout due to its easy usability and linear power , I think it's 18L ex showroom if I'm not wrong.

Go for R6 and after 2yrs when you are done with it look for R1. Cmon finish the suspense I am waiting to see a Legal R6 and if its Black Raven then you are blessed buddy.

R1 is 2007 Black color however R6 is not black bro. However, it is one rare color. I will pick one up on or before 6th July and will post a detailed log for sure .

Dont tell me it is the Blue White Yamaha Race Line....

Finally decision has been made. I test rode both R1 and R6 and tried them to my limits and ended up picking this one....
She has ohlins front and rear set up with racefit exhaust with cat con removed.
