Depends what you want it for?

ZX6R if you're a hard rider and do trackdays and don't care about comfort.

Gixxer 6 if you ride mostly on the road and aren't that hard.

I just want a bike for a 3 or 4 years. When i buy this bike i cant change every year. So i need a quality and nice looking.

I dont wait a Ducati quality from a japones bike but it must be strong...

For example Honda.. i think in a short time it would be too lazy for me...

I think any of them not agressive as much as like a kawa... so i dont know i dont know...

My my opinion, and reviews.

ZX6R revs to a million RPM is small and the seat is like a bench, the suspension is arse spankingly hard. 80 odd MPH first gear on a engine that doesn't pull below 8,000RPM.

The GSXR6 has mid range by comparison, is comfier, but not as quick round a track.

O and the ZX6R is prettier.

Yeah you can, but it'll still be pretty hard, manufacturers knobs and dials on the forks/shock don't offer a huge range of adjustment.

tbh, there is so little between them all you're probably better of test riding them all.

Don't forget the Triumph Daytona 675!

has to be the R6 for me, purely for the looks.

Unless you include the Daytona (shame you cant source one in Spain)

They're all pointy nosed, arse in the air, wrist straining, arse numbing power ranger magnets. Go for the one you think is prettiest, or that matches your helmet.

CBR600RR. It has the most R's in it, and its the lightest!

Its gotta be the R6, its by far the best looking bike there. And all others seem to have some form of pillion seat.

The R6 is a horrid, horrid looking little piece of excrement.

I don't know what I'd go for in that group. I'd be tempted to get an older 750 GSXR because the K5 onwards look a bit crap IMO.

As far as i am concerned Kawasaki have screwed it with the loss of 37cc, and now we are again moving further towards 600's with absolutely no balls below 10k rpm.

So my pick is the Daytona 675!

Oh and as for which is quickest round a track, is anyone here actually a racer that it would matter to? surely its down to how it sounds and feels at the most common speeds (i.e stuck in traffic below 60mph)

After voting ZX6R, I think I wish I'd voted the GSXR. Looking at the pictures you can just tell it's more comfy. K4 onwards GSXR's are great looking bikes. I think the 2006 ZX636 was perfect as it was, they kinda ruined it this year Sad .

CBR 600RR in the graphite/white colour scheme - it' the prettiest on the list by a clear mile and thats the only real basis to judge these bikes on.

I thought the R6 was the lightest sports 6? And the CBR the lowest? Confused
