First bike ever ! NICE CHOICE 8) :!:

Out of curiosity, what made YOU choose the R6 ?

Was it the comfort, looks, reputation or bit of all ?

Congrats. Perfect time to buy considering its going to be a blistering summer. 8)

it was between the r6, gsxr600, or the cbr600rr, the cbr was too high cuz im short, none of my friends has a suzuki, and my friend let me ride hir 01 r6 for my first time ever and i had to have it, and i also love the way the front end looks,

Nice one.

The height issue crops up a lot. The R6 does well there.
Even if riders are tall enough for any sports bike , the feeling of having more 'foot on the ground' is a psychological boost.
certainly, if a person sits on the bike for the first time, this height/control perception can make a big differnce to the final purchase decision.
Logical , I suppose. Its a bit cars with a bad driving position or having the pedals too close for big feet..
