ZX6R Mr. Green

But seriously if it was a CBR 600f then I'd prefer the GSXR. If it was the CBR RR then I'd prefer the Honda.

Are you talking about new bikes?

cbr600f? or rr?

what year of Gsxr?

Is it so hard for peope to give a little information and perhaps put up a proper question? Confused

I'd steer clear of the cbr (rr being made for dwarves and the f swallowing fuel from it's pitiful sized tank)

Would prefer the RR over a GSXR but the GSXR over any f model.

CBR600RR's are so damn sexy they should be made illegal. Cool

Not really.

There's been around 10 years of GSXR 600 and now getting on for 20 for the CBR.

Nevermind for what purpose, etc, etc. Smile

I'd rather have a middle aged CBR600 F, something like this:
https://www.honda.co.jp/news/1995/image/18_49.jpg
than a GSX-R. Dunno why I would, but there's something simply unappealing about the Gixxers. It's probably that they're almost all blue and white and haven't changed in much other way than a number after a 'K' for 10 years or so. I am odd too, I'd certainly much rather have a Speed Triple than an R1. Laughing

The noble CBR600F.

Worth it for the look on every pointy bike rider's face when you whup their ass on your ageing 'sports tourer'.


Besides, GSXRs are fugly and I don't like the exhaust on the RR. Smile

Also with a race fairing it's more difficult to distinguish between the cbr600f and the cbr600rr

CBR anyday. I'm a Honda man at heart and think highly of finish and build quality, as well as real world performance and comfort over a variety of conditions. I bet once cleaned, the CBR will come up like new as well.

Im 6foot 3, and my stepdads CBR900RR fits me like a glove, wouldent exactly call me a dwarf. My stepdad is slightly smaller and he cant even touch his feet on both sides Laughing . Right enough, sitting on the saddle on my bike is the equivilant to sitting on the tank of the CBR Laughing

I say go for the CBR - much better engines

People were talking about the CBR600RR and CBR1000RR I suspect.
They both have very cramped riding positions. However they are also both relatively high, so it's going to have to be a dwarf wearing very high heels Smile.

I used to like the GSXR until I saw the carparks at many bike shows and there was rows upon rows of them, all in blue and white!

I love my CBR, I think honda knocked it together pretty well, but thats not important as Im going the other end of the scale and getting an Aprilia for the summer.

If your a fashion geek or a stereotype go for the gixer! Laughing
