I prefer the styling of the CBR, by quite a bit really.
Test ride both, see what you prefer riding and what fits better.
Would have thought the Ninja would be a bit cheaper though. ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk |

I'm not a fast rider yet, only in straight lines whilst i'm learning. They will probably feel the same to me, but just heard that the RR was more forgiving which i wouldn't like as i'm used to mine.
I'm looking forward to a smooth ride, i know alot of 1st gen owners have the gear probloms & clunkyness of the R6, also having to double accelerate to get power |

How long have you been riding and what year R6 did you have?
If you don't mind me asking that is. |

About 3 months now & it was a 2000. I'm edging towards the Ninja a bit think. Both would probably feel better then mine because mine wasn't smooth. |

I'm not keen on the 2004 R6, doesn't do it for me & i'd like somthing diffrent as there very similar, wouldn't mind the 06 but that's too exspensive.
I've got some pic of the road on my phone, they asked about all my gear too which was handy. |

I can see why people can say the RR's blander than the ninja, but I just think it's alot nicer to ride fast, it so forgiving etc that I find it alot less overloading to ride, hence It helps me to go faster.
If you get me, I know it will do this, I know it will do that, and it does, where as the 636, is abit more harsh, more on edge.
I found it skipping over bumps, and easily losing line in corners with bumps, that the RR soaks up.
Don't get me wrong the difference isn't huge, but for me the RR's my prefered choice, hence I own one.
But you do need to ride them both, and see which suits you.
I rode the 03 ninja, RR, R6 & GSXR - not all before I bought my bike though! , and I prefer the RR to the others. |

The Honda is likely to be about £1k more for a similar bike.
You should pick up a low millage mint B1 for £3700ish privately which is peanuts for an 04 bike.
I have the B2 which is essentially the same and I love it. They are very aggressive bikes and can feel a little harsh at times on the road. A lot of people change the rear spring weights if it becomes an issue. Personally I get on fine with it and at 6' and 11stone it should only get better if you weigh a bit more.
I suspect the Honda will hold it's value better and may be more reliable, but you pays your moneys you takes your choice.
The 636 motor is very comliant as a road bike and has suprising amounts of torque for day to day overtaking.
The digital rev counter is a bitch to see in certain conditions, but thats hardly an important factor imo.
FFIW they rock on track |

They both sound like good bikes with no known problems as of yet which is good. I like them both, both look good, RR has the edge with the undertail exuast. It's a close one, think it will come down to what's available at the time, i'm picky & want the RR in black & 636 in green. & the test ride off course although they will probably feel the same to me. There both good in there own way.
both equally good looking (Only in these colours tho).

I've got the 05' ZX6R so not sure how that compares to the 04' model. Its got the same 636cc engine in it I guess so in that regard I can highly recommend it. Is really smooth if you want to overtake something at say 30mph as you can just easily cruise past it and also its pretty comfy and usable in town.
When I test rode it I was so impressed by it that I put down the deposit a couple of weeks after and didn't even bother test riding anything else as it seemed so f*cking sweet. |
