Re: gsx6r vs. cbr600

Well they all offer similar performance.

The Honda offers good handling and a great engine. But has a rock hard seat and is built for small riders.

The Green Machine is roomie, dosent seem to have the power that the other too have. But lots of power on hand. A good all round bike.

The Gixxer is the most powerful and comfy for those long rides. But some dont liek the new styling of it. Mehhh.. Il take a 750 thanks

My experiences with the Honda is that the bars are really low. That puts a lot of stress on your upper body. Yes, the seat is a bit hard, which makes me wonder why Honda would make a hard seat for a bike that most people wont take to the racetrack.

I finally rode the new GSX-R600 several days ago. The bike is just as good as the Honda. The airbox is loud, even with my ear plugs and helmet I can hear it much more than the tamer Honda.

I'm with FDTT, I want the GSX-R750. Weighs four pounds more than the 600 and has an additional twenty five horses to boot. From what I heard, the 750 takes corners like a 600 but powers out like an earlier model YZF-R1. Talk about a capable bike that can hang with the bigger boys.

Don't tell me you can't find this information for yourself?

The GSX-R750 base MSRP is $9,599 as the GSX-R600 is 8,099. The 750 is based of the 600 so the chassis is identical. Also Suzuki uses the 600 engine while uping the displacement 150cc. In good hands, the 750 is the fastest GSX-R on a racetrack.

Re: gsx6r vs. cbr600

these days i think it all comes down to personal preference although people will argue non-stop about which bike is better than which.
personally i'd go with a cbr, especially if, like FDTT said, you're a smaller guy like me (5'7 160lbs) cause it feels like the bike was built for my exact height, weight.
besides which, i've rarely met a honda rider who'd ride anything else!
