Sorry lol just all round bike. Good for a quick b road blast or just to ride about town. Embarassed

I'd say ZX6r but that's just my favorite for looks. You'd be best to go sit on them and see which one fits you best and get some test rides to see how you feel on them. Thumbs Up

ZX6r tho, kwakers all the way. Wink

Best all rounder prob the CBR but all the bikes in your poll could be lived with on a day to day basis.

You forgot bout the Triumph Daytona 600 & 650 Evil or Very Mad

I'd choose them Thumbs Up

By far the best on the road as it's not too track biased like the jap crap. (ie can handle bumps and doeasnt shake its head any time the front gets light) and it's very comfy for a supersport 600.
But if you like a couple track days aswell then it wont dissapoint Thumbs Up

Just my opinion - best all round bike Honda CBR600, no question. It will just about do everything ever asked of it (so I've read, I've only had about half an hour on the F version). The thing even has a center stand.

Followed closely by the Kawasaki ZX6R - nearly as good in all round, but with more character, better noise, etc.

If I wanted a really good all rounder with similar on-paper performance to a 600, I'd go for a VFR. But I'm not old enough to be riding an all rounder yet. Wink

I used to have a 2001 ZX-6R J2 and it was quite a comfortable riding position for it's class. It was good round town and not too bad on long journeys, but got a bit uncomfortable after 1.5 hours riding.

I haven't ridden any of the others so can't compare, but I've heard that the CBRs are good all rounders too.

you also forgot the 748 and a 749 as a 600 alternative Smile

I found a review online of the YZF600-R (different from the YZF-R6, and i cant remember the review link to save my life), which sang its praises as a fantastic all-rounder. The rear shock's adjustment was the key to the all-rounder ability, good adjustment range for touring, or generally hooliganistic riding (according to the review).

As for the Triumph Daytona, they'll make a bargain bike, new or used - the new model shown in the last mcn will be sure to damage the value of old model bikes - jus wait till dealers try and shift their old stock! Very Happy

People will offer their opinions on this question but I'll make two points:

1. How many people have actually ridden all the bikes listed? If you haven't then you shouldn't really be answering.

2. What year? There's a world of difference between a brand new ZX6R and a six year old one, for example.

I can only vouch for, having ridden it, the sublime Honda CBR600F but its bloomin' marvellous - beautifully built and a very balanced ride i.e. docile when it needs to be, manic when it matters.

I wouldn't mind an 600RR, Daytona or Gixxer though but suspect the build quality/fininsh a bit on the last two. Correct my assumption if u want. Smile
