Well I ended up getting a LAMS 2010 Hyosung EFI GT650R... had it for a little while now... about 4,000km on it mainly commuting and a few mt nebo/glorious runs..
If you can afford it then go for it... good bike so far. I know most ppl know about their bad rep.. but bad rep hangs around for a while. But meh, thats what 2 years warranty is for.
Don't buy if:
- you want everyone to love your bike (lotsa h4terz on the hyo)
- want good resale
- want a slow-ass 250 or a bike that looks like a push bike :P

I bought it because it has good power for a learner 40KW... and can be de-resticted when I'm off my RE license. Plus I know I won't be upgrading.. that is unless I write this bike off. For 9k rideaway win!
Definitely looks nice man. I especially like how the exhaust looks
hay the new paint scheme for it looks nice, white sets it off
yeh the 650 and the 250 is almost exactly the same exterior you can tell the difference between them by the 650 having a black can
Anymore pics?
Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah i like the stock exhaust too.. went to debaffle it... turned out it had a cat in it :(.

Woow i like the colour, too bad there pretty big for me :(
As long as you can get your feet flat on the ground don't let the weight intimidate you. Once its moving you'll realise its quite flickable and doesn't feel so heavy.
hey all, looking to purchase a bike.. done some research into what i want, well not really, just cosmetics haha..
but i just booked my stay upright course to be done in the next few weeks and will probably need a bike to ride.
im not really looking for something more or less then a 600..
i can stand perfectly fine with my legs' spread like so, /|\ over a 600.
kinda narrowed my wish list to
nothing less then an '08 model
Suzuki GSXR600
Yamaha YZF-R6
Daytona 675 (yeah i know its more then a 600 but is a sexy bike)
just curious into which one people would recommend as a first timer... in terms of 600's.. and i dont want a cbr or a ninja sorry.
p.s. dont waste your time or breathe if your going to write negatives which wont help me at all..
also any other bike websites which might help me out? :)
thanks in advance.
i rode the gixxer, cbr and r6 together and i gotta say for daily cbr is actually quiet comfortable. but in the end i still got the r6 cos it looks hella more sexy than anything out there. and isnt that what your looking for cosmetics ? lol
anyways im selling my r6, perfect time for summer!!
got a dedicated gallery pic here if interested

Buy the one which you feel most comfortable on. There's only a bees dick of difference between the 600s and normally I'd suggest test riding each and finding which one is set up closest to what you like and which one has the best power band in your opinion.
But it seems you haven't ridden anything yet so your not going to be able to tell the difference between them other than seating position and engine note. If you try test riding them your just going to be thinking holy **** I'm going to die the whole time rather then picking the subtle differences between the bikes.
Personally I'd be going for the R6 as they're better built then the gixxer and the 675 has a very aggressive riding possesion. But then again it isn't really going to much difference to you because you'll end up loving which ever you get, provided it doesn't kill you.
For the record buying a 600cc super sport for a first bike is a REALLY BAD IDEA. But I'm not your mum so go for your life.
