CBR600RR, GSX-R600, and ZX-6R

Definately get the one that is the most comfortable for you. I sat on all of the new 600RRs and they all are close in weight and feel.. For me though, the ZX6R felt the most comfortable. I didn't get to sit a the Gix6 though.. They didn't have one in stock.

Unless you're a pro racer, you probably won't beable to tell the difference between any of the RR bikes.

do you guys get to test ride before you buy?

back i 99 when i was looking for my second bike i had my heart set on a cbr 600. rode it and found it boring. rode the zxr6, fzr600 and the gsxr all back to back. even rode a yzf1000 thunderace. finally settled on a gsxr750 due to thrill factor and comfort but i didn't like the styling. i couldn't even see the gauges until i got a new screen.

my point is just becasue you like a bike and sit on it, it would be good to ride before you buy

No, dealers around here will not usually test ride bikes. Sometimes the manufactuer gives demo rides at large events like Bike Week. If you are lucky enough to attend some place like that and get a chance to take some of the demos out it's a great thing! Unfortunately this isn't always possible, and the only thing you have to rely on is your butt test, or if you're lucky enough to find someone that would let you ride thiers.
