Jack machins, lincoln

Advantages: Lincoln Honda/KTM dealer
Disadvantages: Unwarm welcome

...A nice shop near Lincoln city centre, large selection of all models and of both HONDA and KTM. Lots of new and used bikes available. I bought a CBR600RR from them 2 years ago they offered a great service at a reasonable price. My only dislike is the customer interaction, there seems to be a un welcome feeling when visiting the shop. This might just be me but we all have our own opionions. As for service of my bike, they offered a great quality service in great time. Everything was completed correcty and within the time they advised me. The price is reasonable compared to other local dealers. BE AWARE THEY ARE CLOSED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AS ARE ALL MOTOTRBIKE DEALERSHIPS IN LINCOLN I hope this help you all out....

Review of Jack Machin

My Kawasaki ZX6-R (2003 version)

Advantages: excellent torque and performance and excellent chassis
Disadvantages: riding position can be a strain after a fir bit of miles on a trip

...speechless. In fact my dad rides a Suzuki GSXR-1000 K2 and he went out and bought an Akrapovic straight after he heard the difference between the stock exhaust on mine and then the aftermarket Akrapovic exhaust... Since I have bought my Kawasaki I have added a steering dampener, braided front back brake lines, Akrapovic Exhaust, smaller number plate and smaller indicators. I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with this bike and feel I definatly made the right choice over all the other 600 on the market. The close second choice for me was the 2003 to present version, Honda CBR 600RR......

Review of Kawasaki ZX6R

Nice Bike Shame About the Pace

Advantages: good styling, easy servicing, light handling, body positioning
Disadvantages: brakes, gutless topend, soft suspension, clunky gears around town, overpriced

...I passed my bike test about ten years ago, cutting my teeth on a Honda CBR600RR which just blew me away for speed, performance, handling & braking. However, due to change of jobs and the need to lug laptops around with me for work I sold the bike and opted for a 4 wheel boxmobile and have stayed thay way ever since....much to my shame. However, my boyfriend is a bit of a biker at heart cus he find cars a tad mundane...except of course when its raining or he wants a few bits of shopping brought back home...bit of a different story then, but never mind:o) Anyway, he's had a number of streetbikes over the years and is currently shackled with a 3 year Suzi GSX600-F. Although having the design of a supersports I'm afraid one shouldn't judge books by covers cus unfortunately the engine plays a rather different tune. As soon as I...

Review of Suzuki GSX600-F

Susuki GSXR-750. The Hooligans weapon of choice!!!

Advantages: Speed, handling, reliability, snarly exhaust note.
Disadvantages: Maybe not quite as stylish looking as some other bikes.

...smooth when riding the Gixxer as it does have a powerful engine. You need to be smooth on the throttle. Also when changing down gears there is quite a lot of engine breaking and it does not have a slipper clutch as I think you get on the newer models. So if you change down through the gears too quickly the back tyre will skip and skid along if you are overly aggressive with it. But you?ll get used to what you can get away with after some time on the bike. ~~~~~~~ Handling ~~~~~~~ The handling is great!! You have the same size chassis as on a 600cc bike but with a more powerful engine. This makes the bike very flickable around corners and very fast down the straights. I actually used a Honda CBR600RR on a track day last September at Donington Park. After riding my bike the CBR felt very lacking in power. When I first picked up my bike...

Review of Suzuki GSX-R750

The best bike ever, ferrari beater!

Advantages: Amazing - the only word to describe it!!!
Disadvantages: Insurance costs!

...Having owned several bikes over the last couple of years i recently purchased a cbr600rr-4, an absolutely stunning bike, lovely to ride and topped off with the underseat cans. The only disadvantage - the wife wont ride 5 metres on the back of it!!! So i chopped it in and bought a Hayabusa! It is a W reg with 17k miles on it, costing about the same as the 2004 CBR =O( However, on the test ride both my wife and myself knew it was the bike for us - most bikes i have owned feel like they are doing 70mph when you are - on the busa you feel like your doing 30mph at 70!!! Not only that, it is comfy, there is barely any wind and the power is simple scary!! Having said that, it is reasonably well behaved, in the wet care is needed not to let the back wheel spin (in any gear!) but the front wheel will barely ever raise off the ground...

Review of Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa

2001 KAWASAKI ZX6R J1

Advantages: SUPER GOOD LOOKS.
Disadvantages: BIT THIRSTY.

...Ive owned many 600 superbikes over the last few years but i think that you will have to go a long way to beat the zx6-r j1/j2 models. i would agree that the kawasaki's are not every ones cup of tea but having grown up riding ar50's then stepping up to ar125's then when i was old enough going up a stage went onto a zzr400 this was a very good comfortable bike but being a 400 lacked power. thats when i decided to go crazy and go for a 600, there is many models, manafacturers out there and tell you the truth they all looked good, but being a kawasaki man got drawn between a zx6-r or a honda cbr600rr. I chose a Y reg 2001 j1 model with 6500 miles on the clock 1 previous owner (which was a sales executive from a local kawasaki dealers) so its been well looked after. the basic guidelines on prices are for a 1998/2001 model in a1 cond £3500...
