far from a full size.. more like a half-pint lol

i tried a friends gsxr 600 once.. i hated it.. felt like i had my old bmx bike under me.. they are just tiny and bleh.

... it is a sport bike. A zx14 or busa is a touring bike. That is why you don't see them getting raced anywhere but a drag strip.

If you're a taller guy, the cbr is a good fit. im 6'2" and i found the cbr's to be comfortable compared to the r6 and gsxr. ninjas arent bad but im not a fan of their bikes and i've only rode a couple.

if you're a shorter guy 5'6" ish then a r6 will fit you perfect. still rough ride as they are a more track oriented bike (imo) but the gsxr is also a good choice for a shorter guy

I'm 5'9. So I'm kind of right in between, I'm really liking the R6's though.

I've found a few well kept R6's and CBR 600rrs around but I don't know what is considered high KMs for a bike or a reasonable price for certain bikes.

High kms depends on what kind of bike we are talking about. A naked bike is usually driven more in towns than a tourer so high kms mean more.

I bought a '08 kawasaki z750 as my first bike last winter and I liked it alot. Wanted the 1000cc one after a month though...
