Personally i've had both and crashed both. Bikes are alot of funn, but very dangerous. Even if your the safest rider in the world it only take you to be in someones blind spot and kiss you legs good by. The 10K you are going to spend on a gixxer or rr could get alot of work done to your car. And if your not a seasoned rider i would sugest getting a used bike to start off with.

i thought about getting a bike too, but if i did i wouldn't have been able to get a car so that made my decision much easier. i couldn't live without a car. if i could afford both i'd probably get a bike but i can't right now. maybe later...
