So, I got my bike in September. I view it as a starter bike since I'm a new rider. I would like to go the sport route after I get used to riding, either after this upcoming season, or a year later. Then again, maybe I'll change my mind along the line and stick with the GS. However, if you were looking to upgrade to a sport 600-650, what would YOU get? Just wondering what my options are should I move up. Thanks!
Are you limiting yourself to a 600-650 for a reason?
Personally, the only 600s to 650s that Appeal to me are all Suzuki. SV650 (naked), GSX650, GSR600
I've ridden an FZ6 and didn't like it. And didn't like the heat coming from the exhaust and through the seat on the Triumph Street Triple.
When I got my 919 I'd ridden quite a few bikes and narrowed it down to the Honda 919 and the Kawasaki Z750. The 919 won due to comfort (I felt more comfortable on the bike and to Me the handling was more natural). I didn't feel as comfy on the SV650 naked or sport. And while they had more power than the GS, it wasn't That much of a difference, nor were the bikes Special/Different enough to warrant getting them.
You'll probably find it tough locating a 919, but do consider a Z750, they are good bikes and sell gangbusters in Europe.

If i was to get a 600cc sports bike, i'd be getting one of the new zx6r's. But what i'd really like to get, and also what im currently saving for, is a 2010 Kawasaki Z1000, nice super naked right there :D
You're gonna have to narrow that one down a little bit. When you say sport route are you meaning gsxr/r6/cbr, or just anything sporty, including SVs and fz6rs? and are you looking at a new bike or used?
Going off my assumption that you want a supersport, and sticking with 600s, my first choice is always an 05-06 cbr600rr. That bike i sjust the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Also a big fan of the 03-04zx636r, but the price is always high on those, or else they've been completely destroyed by stunters. R6s have never really done much for me, and even though I love gsxrs, my real love affair is with the gsxr750, and it has unfortunately pushed the 600 out of the picture for me because if I ever bought one I would only ever consider it a lesser version of the 750, where as the cbr and zx6r are their own bike and I'd be happy with it. As far as new bikes.... I don't even know, none of the new 600s appeal to me. I'd consider a cbr600rr, but I still like the older ones more. If I was buying new I'd probaby branch out and pick up a triumph or something like that. If you're open to naked biked I'd definitely consider the Triumph Street Triple. I used to have a Speed Four back in 2003, but that was when they were 600cc inline 4s with clipons instead of the 675cc triples with normal handlebars. That would be a natural step up from the GS. I do really like the SV650 too, but if I was gonna spend the money on one I'd definitely want a few extra hp.
Either way let us know a bit more about what you're looking for as far as supersport, naked bikes, new/used bikes. Even if it is only a 100cc difference, you'll be amazed how much faster a 600cc bike is.
If I get one more bike I think it will be a CBR250R that I can still blast thru some twisties with. Maybe an 80th birthday present to myself, that's only a little over a year away now. :thumb: The 02 GS will last that long, maybe it'll even outlast me. :icon_lol:

I want a SV650s. In blue. Thats or a Kawasaki Ninja 650. I just want a FI bike to get ride of the hassle of carbs. I am coming up on a year with my GS and am still happy. I will be making some cosmetic improvements and minor performance upgrades this spring. Enough to keep my happy.
I always think i want a bigger bike, then I go for a ride and come home happy.
I love the idea of FI, but that's what my current bike has, and to be honest I miss carbs a bit. It's a good evening project to pull apart some carbs and rejet, but I have trying to fight with my computer trying to change fuel maps. Computers aren't my strong point though. I screwed with my bike for 6 months and finally just gave up and decided to leave the stock map on it.
Im used to carbs from dirts bikes and nitro R/C but honestly I just want something without the hassle. I like working on things but if i can avoid rejetting, choke, etc Im welcome to it.
I do alot of 2 and 3 day trips (in addition to a 60km commute) and my next bike will likely be a Kawi 650r or *maybe* the GSX650. My main beefs are also the choking hassle but more so the power and long trip comfort factors, I find after 2 days on the GS Im starting to have had enough. I really want to do a trip to the West Coast Canada (from Southern Ontario) and I don't see that happening until I get a new bike. But I still enjoy my GS.
I ride an older SV650S (With carbs) and my girlfriend has the newer version (with FI) - I would definitely prefer to have FI on mine but the only reason is due to the maintenance aspect.
BTW the SV is a great bike.
Triumph Speed Triple or TT600. Used to have a TT600 (100+hp, not too much weight over the GS, nice handling, fuel injected, comfy ride, nice looking, AWESOME sounding). It was a blast to ride and almost zero maintenance atleast in the 10k miles i put on it between 20 and 30K.

That was 99% the same bike as my speed four, only the tt600 has a fairing. It was definitely a great bike. Mine didn't have too many problems from 0-22k miles. I had some serious dealership headaches, but the bike would've been pretty problem free had I not had a warranty and expected the idiots at the bmw dealership to fix some little problems. Mine only had 97hp, but had great midrange. It definitely sounded sweet with the D&D on it. Plus you could stand it up in 3rd gear when you were going 90mph on the highway with some practice :icon_mrgreen: I won't do that anymore though, haha, I'm hoping to make it past my late 20s.
It's not a 600, but my next WILL be a Triumph Thruxton. :cheers:
The logical step up IMHO from a GS isn't a GSXR. I'd say it is a sv650, er650 and an sv1000. Torque over revvy HP.
Cool.
Buddha.
I like the Yamaha FZ8, for what that's worth.
Dear Santa, please send me a Honda elite 110, sv650N, cbr600rr, gsxr600, and a hyabusa! Thanks. I like the elite because it has 100+mgp and lots of storage, I love the cbr, it is really smooth and really powerful and handles awesome but it sits higher than the gsxr. Should I sell my 07gs and get a scooter?
After I bought my GS500FK7, I bought an '07 Burgman 400, '08 GSX650F, '10 Honda SH150i, '10 Ninja 250R, in that order.
OOPS: I kinda missed the question....buy any of the above :cheers:
Well if you wnna bike that you can grow into that buy a gsxr1000 the newer ones haveaswitch that will cut power fom 1000cc to 600cc and also 750cc thatayyou can have a600 to upgrade to then lter 750 and then a 1000ccand never have to buy a newone fr years to come.

Right.....like anyones gonna buy a GSXR1000 and put it to 600 or 750 mode :cookoo:. And if they do I guarantee it won't be for long. It would be buying a Porsche and putting it in VW Beetle mode. :icon_mrgreen:

I would save my money and buy the Z750. The performance difference between them is minimal. I think the 1000 pips the 750 by 1/100th of a second on a standing quarter. They look the same and the 750 is a few grand cheaper and probably cheaper to get insurance for. Just my 2c. :D
My second bike is an SV650s. I'm very happy with it and I think it's the perfect upgrade to the GS-especially if you're into sportier bikes. It's riding stance is slightly more aggressive than the GS, and it's obviously peppier. I was toying with the idea of going nekkid with it, but the more I ride it, the happier I am with the fairings.

I know it's more 350-400cc more than you were looking at, but it's all torque and only 92hp so it's not the same as a high revving water cooled liter bike. Plus the bike is very small so it's easy to toss around like the GS.
While we are at it :D
(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff62/icecreamhands/DSC00340-1.jpg?t=1302905659)
Very similar performance to TT's Buell. The SV650 is a great bike but these come with all the good gear all ready on them. No need to upgrade brakes or suspension.

Hi Steven,
The answer really depends on what you want out of your next bike. What's wrong with the GS? Too small for you? Not enough power? Not sporty enough? Not comfortable for long distance riding? The options are endless, but you really need to have a good idea of what you want.
The GS500 is a great all-around bike, but doesn't excel in any area, and has some weaknesses. If you like that all around quality, but want something more modern, you have options like the new naked bikes hitting the market. I owned a BMW R1150R Rockster, and for the most part, it felt like a big, flashy, modern GS -- more power, much better suspension. But naked and nimble.
GSX650F :cheers:

:thumb: for air cooled twins. My xb has hydraulic valve adjusters so I NEVER even have to check the valves. No chain turns it into a zero maintenance bike aside from oil changes.
The one thing I noticed when I hopped back on my GS after not riding for years, and coming down from a 600 was the suspension. It wasn't even the power I missed, it was that nice/responsive firm ride. The highlight of bikes like the buell and the ducati isn't the fact that they have a bigger motor, it's the fact that you can get a reasonably powered bike that comes with decent brakes, good suspension, and plenty of other decent parts. The one thing that I've never been crazy about with a lot of japanese naked bike is that they're usually recycled motors built up with a lot of cheaper parts. If you want good brakes and suspension you have to buy a gsxr/R1 and it seemed like that was all the japanese companies took seriously. Companies like Buell/Ducati/Triumph love their naked bikes. Japan is getting better, but it's mostly still just with their 1000cc bikes, but I think eventually it'll trickle down to the 600s as well and you can buy a nice bike that won't need better fork springs/oil and new brake pads/braided hoses before it actually rides how you want it to.
edit: that's also one bonus of supermotos too! You can buy a DRZ400sm with only 35hp so you don't have to worry about killing yourself, but you're still getting a good bike with nice suspension and brakes.

not at all, people forget that you need
some mass for a good ride, people also forget that it is a Sport
Touring bike and need to stop constantly comparing it to a Sport bike. You only notice the weight when you push it around in the garage with a full tank, other than that it's only heavy until you let the clutch out. A GSXR or a CBR or an R6 or an R1 and on and on would be my last choice for a 500 mile day touring on a bike anyway :thumb:

Oh man what I wouldn't give to have free access to a go-kart track to play on my bike
The bike I'm stuck on right now is the FZ6R. I pretty much use my GS as a commuter bike and as a toy on the weekends, no 500 mile trips for me. I know the FZ doesn't get a lot of love on here but I love the looks and the riding position isnt much different than the GS

Yeah, cause they never compare it to a heavy cruiser. You'd swear they're doing it just so they can find something negative about it. Just crabs in the bucket.
QuoteI know the FZ doesn't get a lot of love on here but I love the looks and the riding position isnt much different than the GS
I've only ridden the naked version. And it wasn't really that inspiring for me. Maybe it was the bike in question and a different one would have been better to ride. What was funny though, was that while I knew it wasn't available new anymore (not in Australia) and I hadn't seen a new one for sale anywhere, the salesman told me they were still available new - which I know, if I'd gone for it, would have turned into a Bait 'n Switch into an FZ8.
Michael
FZ8 is "supposed" to be Yamaha's answer to the Z750. I guess we will see if they're as good as the Z's through their sales.
I was just riding with a kid on an fz6r last weekend. It seemed like a pretty nice bike. It sounded great for having a stock exhaust on it and a few times when the road opened up he'd take off and the bike would get moving pretty quick.
This is going to be my next bike if I don't get into any more bad accidents:
80
(http://i54.tinypic.com/23toa4i.jpg)
The best time to buy is in the winter. The Gladius is over $12K during the riding season, and only $8K in the winter, taxes and everything else included. Sweet deal.
I guess I'm just lucky to live in a place where no one buys bikes during the winter. Dealers are aching to get rid of their inventory so they can make room for the new models.
Would love to have this one too:
(http://i55.tinypic.com/fxw909.jpg)
But they don't make em anymore :cry:
Well, the next step up the Suzuki ladder toward the sporty side is the GSX650F...it is the replacement for the Katana 600 & 750 (GSX-F in other countries/continents)...yes the weight is about 100lbs more, but it has 85Hp compared to the 45Hp that we have. The FZ6R is the competition for this bike, not a replacement for the FZ6 (that's what the FZ8 is for)...I really like the GSX-F bikes (Katana or the new 650), they are more of a sport touring bike than a sport bike, but can still play the part...there is also the Honda CBF600SA, but I don't know if it is available where you live...
I still don't know what I want yet, so I'm just sticking with the GS500 for now...once I figure it out, I will probably change bikes...but I still have lots of fun on my bike...but anytime there is foul weather, I would like to have a fully fared bike.
Good Luck!!
Later.
No need to discount a bike cause they don't make then any more. Otherwise, in a few years (or sooner) you'll discount GS500s cause they won't make them any more cause they cannot meet emissions standards - which is why the 919 isn't made any more (I'd assume the same reason the 600 Hornet pictured isn't made anymore either).
The Gladdy... not a bike for me. I've been told, it's like a SV650 with a better frame and better engine management with the CPU so it's smoother and has better handling. Maybe it is. But with a tiny nothing tank, the range won't be so good. Ask Buddha what he thinks of them (http://www.christianmomsforum.com/images/smilies/scared003.gif). But if YOU like 'em, hook in.
Michael
haha oooh man does Buddha hate those things. I've always liked them though. I actually saw someone riding one yesterday. It was the first one I've seen in person.
There is a Gladius version with ABS - assisted brakes. Sounds like a pretty neat feature to have.

I believe this might be my last season of owning 1 bike :) I received my license in 2010 and the GS was my very first bike. With two seasons under my belt I am feeling the urge to get a cruiser as I have always wanted. The good thing is that I will not get rid of the GS and it will be my sporty ride when I want to be sporty. The wife is coming around to be a passenger and is supporting the purchase of a cruiser when I'm ready.

So, I got my bike in September. I view it as a starter bike since I'm a new rider. I would like to go the sport route after I get used to riding, either after this upcoming season, or a year later. Then again, maybe I'll change my mind along the line and stick with the GS. However, if you were looking to upgrade to a sport 600-650, what would YOU get? Just wondering what my options are should I move up. Thanks!
I've been riding on the road since 1980 and my main ride is your bike. You should never "move up" unless it's something YOU really want to do, not what your friends want you to do. If I were to "upgrade" I would look hard at the SV 650 or on the bigger side, the Honda 919. I have an old XS750 for two-up touring so there's no pressure for me to get a great "do it all" bike. I went the other way. I have a commuter and fun bike, (GS500) a touring bike, (XS750) and a dirt bike. An old bike for every occasion! If you have the room it's a great low-budget way to go.

I'd much rather have 2-3 used bikes than one shiny new one. I have no idea why so many people pay $10-15k for 1 shiny new bike when they same cash could've gotten you a nice sportbike, supermoto/dirtbike, and some kind of standard/cruiser.
Gorgeous, get this.

Love the sound of the R1 crossplane engines. I would say they rival the V- twins rumble. But where would you use the R1's full potential while not breaking the law and not on the track? A bike that struggles to stay under 50 mph in 2nd gear and can break the highway speed limit in 1st is not my idea of fun. These bikes are great at what they do, it is just that what they do is not for the everyday rider. I think the novelty would soon rub off pretty quick when you realize how limited you are with how safely you can ride this bike on the streets. Unless you were a very experienced rider it would become more of a handicap having that much power between your legs. Just my opinion though.

I would like to know what it feels like to do a power wheelie when I just roll on the throttle going 120mph though.
A guy I was riding with a couple of weekends ago was on one (Yamaha R1 '07)...he bought it for a track bike, but says it's too much bike for the tight courses around here...so it will be sold and he is looking for a 600cc SS bike...he is looking for something less peaky...CBR600RR is probably at the top of that list...he says it doesn't have any more power than his FZ6 when under 5000rpm, but after that he is GONE!!
He did a top gear roll on while we were riding and he shot ahead, I can't imagine what it is like if he downshifted a couple of gears to get into the revs... :icon_eek: :icon_twisted:
Also wasn't very comfortable...depends on what you are buying it for, but it would be useless to me (although it would be a pile of fun for short rides...but my license wouldn't put up with it for long)
Later.
The GS was way hotter than my R6 is, I felt like I was burning up in the summer on the GS. I always felt like i really lacked power on the GS as well, I feel way more secure having pull-away power on the interstate. And being able to keep up with my friends on the 600s is nice too =P

There's been a number of nice R1s on craigslist here over the past few weeks for $2500-2900. I feel like I'm going to have to buy one eventually haha. I would just love to own one for about 3 months to get my fill and move on, but I'd definitely like to know what it feels like to have one for a while, and then just come back to normal bikes once I got the rush out of my system.
That's kind of what he said...he always wanted one, and now he can say he owned one and moved on...
Later.
I have a mate who has owned some very fast bikes but at the moment he is bike-less. So me being a good mate told him he could take my GS for a run next time I went for a ride. He was amazed at how good it was. Said it was something he should look into getting as it is heaps of fun but keeps you out of trouble because you don't have to speed on it to put a smile on ya face. He lost his licence awhile back for speeding on one of his bikes (110mph in a 50mph) He was telling me that all the supersports he owned were like that little devil that sits on your shoulder egging you on to go faster cause that's how they like to be ridden. They don't even come into their own till your around 100mph.

My bike is always telling me to go over 200km/h as well. What a coincidence. :woohoo: Dorf
My friend brought over his DRZ to leave at my house so we can do some work to it. Hopefully this is what my basement will look like soon enough anyway :thumb:
Look how tiny that thing makes my XB look haha
