The GSXR 600 is a wiser choice than the 750, no doubt. But it will hurt you just as fast if you go out and act stupid, As long as you always remember that you don't know $hit yet about how to handle it, that should keep you from doing something to get yourself hurt. If, sometime in the distant future, you are capable enough to handle more extreme performance, the 600 can be tricked out to far exceed what it is able to do stock. It will never keep up with the liter bikes, though, especially not the high end bikes like the 'busa (1300cc), which the regular liter bikes can't even touch.
Best advise I can give is get the 600. Learn how to ride it safely first for a year at least. Keep it stock so you can sell it to another newbie or trade it in and buy a larger bike if you are certain that you are ready to safely step up.

a supercharger???? uhhh, ok, that just showed how relatively little you know about sportbikes. do not, I repeat DO NOT get an 05 or 06 gsxr. If you're going to get a bike you've got to have a level head and think rationally. If you think you can be responsible and take your time learning, there's no reason you can't get a sportbike to start off with, but by the way you talk about superchargers and keeping up with litre bikes, I'm willing to bet you'll get into the throttle and over your head really quickly. DON'T DO THAT.....that said, you should seriously consider looking at something older to start out on. Something you don't have to make payments on, and pay full coverage and theft insurance on. something you won't feel bad about dropping when you forget to put the kickstand down all the way or something stupid like all new riders do.Something that you won't take to the shop to have work done because you're too afraid of messing it up and you can learn to turn wrenches and work on your bike yourself. My advice would be to look for an older 600, not too old but something like a 99-01 CBR600, R6, or GSXR600. When you're ready for more power(which any of these bikes will hold you for 2 years or more,) just sell it and get a newer litre bike if you want. but for now just go with an older 600. a novice rider with even a remotely new bike just doesn't make a bit of sense.

-Usually, the larger the cc's, the heaver the bike. A heavy bike will be more difficult to learn how to ride, than one of lesser weight.
-Sport bikes (like a gsxr600) are more difficult to operate at slow speeds than standard or cruiser bikes.
-Sport bikes have the front forks angled practically straight up and down LOL, for quick turning response. Just touch the handle bars and it's turning.
-A cruiser, you have to actually turn the bars to turn. Because of the steering geometry, a sport bike has to be leaned at a greater angle to turn at higher speeds.
-So what I'm trying to say is, you have twice as many things to think about while trying to learn how to ride on a sport bike. Equate learning to ride and flying a plane in equal terms.
-Cruiser - plane - learn to use throttle, rudder, areolons.
-Sport bike - plane - throttle, rudder, areolons, altimeter, compass, cross wind speed, decent angle, sea level, ceiling, ILS.
-If you're confident at multi - tasking and have a good teacher, then try the sport bike.
-Keep the rubber on the road and have fun.
The acceleration isn't that much of a difference
between a 6 & 750 and between a 750 & 1000. It's the top speed that's going to be different. No, you won't be able to make any mods to a 600 to compete with a 1000 without robbing a bank. LOL

First off a busa is not a liter bike, Its a 1300. Second off...get what ya want.....third....the money it would take to make a 600 that will even touch a liter bike would be counter productive.....but yeah there are kits out there for turbos.....the gsxr 600 and 750 share the same frames for the most part......get whatever you want man just use some common sense.....new riders and liter bikes...ahhhhhhhhh yes.... thats god way of weeding out the idiots.

If you want a 1000cc bike just get one. For the first 2 months, do not ride over 70 mph. Learn to lean on the bike and learn the brakes, take a safety course.
Don't attempt to get a 600 and think your going to keep up with 1000cc bike, it is not even in the same class as a busa.
If you want a Haybusa, then just get one. Don't ever let anyone else ride it.

Hey before you buy this bike.. Take your family down too the local funeral parlor and pick out your casket... You are playing with FIRE and you are going to get burned....Don't let your freinds bikes get your hormones into an uproar!!! Going FAST is not everything... Riding is what it is all about!!! Here's what you need too do... Go out side on the road kneel down and Punch the road as hard as you can then after you do that and your Sceaming in PAIN multiply that by, oh lets say a million, beacause that is what your body is going to feel like if you servive.... Beleave me..... You are asking for trouble... There is one thing no one has said on here.. When you buy a bike, buy a bike you can ride Now and when and I mean only when you are not afaid of that bike do you get a bigger one. As for your supercharger, it wouldn't be worth installing it.. Sell the bike outright and put the money towards the bike you want. But start with something you can ride first with out killing yourself... Life is too short................

Just sell it when you get bored.
I have a ZX6R and my husband has the 12. I have NO problem keeping up with him. Sure, he's not trying to lose me, but he likes to get on it now and then, and even when I rode the Magna, he never got very far ahead. With the 6, it's no problem whatsoever.
I'm the last person who would ever say to someone else that "that bike is fast enough" but I don't think you'll get bored with a 6 very quickly. For me, it IS finally fast enough. And the lightness of it is a distinct advantage.
The only thing is that, with the smaller engine, your rpm's climb more quickly. I prefer a bigger engine where you can really wind it out, but I'm willing to give that up - for a few more years anyway - because everything else is perfect.

My advice is to buy a used, small bike (500cc) first. A ninja 500 is perfect....won't get you into too much trouble.
After you've learned to ride for some time, sell it and then buy your new big bike that you really want.
It's better to put the scratches on the cheap little bike that isn't your dream bike. Also, despite all your intentions to stay within your limits, the temptation to open up those big bikes usually leads to new bikers exceeding their skills.

More simple way to go would be to buy some roller blades and then strap a rocket to your ***. Light the fuse and then take pictures and video. At least then all the rest of us could see you kill yourself and it would be funny then too. On top of that you would get your speed rush out of your systemn and not tear up a nice bike in the process. You know just enough to be dangerous when it comes to bikes and it sounds like you are trying to convience your mother that it is ok for her to cosign for one, but she is trying to keep you around a little while. You are an accident just waiting to happen and appearantly you have to try to impress someone with this speed thing. Stop and go put on those roller blades!

both of those bikes are too much for a noob rider like u...get a moped and crash it a few time before u go out and hit a tree at 80 mph...im serious about that too...riding a motorcycle requires a great deal of skill...many things can happen...get an offroad bike and ride it in the woods for a while, anything but a crotch...unless u want to die
