I have read good things about Cycle world and a couple other places but where is the best place, not just to purchase but to service the bike also. The 600 goes for 8600-9000. I know IM not gonna be paying that exact amount but I also don't want to pay 10,500 for just the bike. IM just looking for some information. Thanks for anyone who can give me an idea of what IM looking at.
i hear the seat for the new 600RR is still like a plank,but other than that I think that is a very nice bike. It is true that the older hondas, like the F4 and F4i are not as sporty as the other brands of the same year. I have not ridden on the newer Hondas, yet.
Since this will be your first sportbike, I say, don't really place your decision on the minuscule power and performance advantage that either one bike or another bike has over each other. Chances are by the time you can take full advantage of the all the power the bike has than there will be better bikes available or you can go to the next class up.
Rather base your decision on reliability, technology and what appeals to you more.
As far as what dealership to go to, check out Honda of Norfolk, I think you can see them off of the eastbound lane on I-64 near Tidewater Dr. I can't remember if that is off of Old Naval Rd or off of Talbot (?Rd) And Tidewater Rd near the railroad tracks. Or you can ask Del sol to to see what they have.
CycleWorld....eh, dont accept a high price for a bike, if you dont know how much it is, than they will see that you dont know shit and charge you more.
Good Luck and ride safe.
