Trying to decide on a new 600, and so far, I'm leaning towards these two.
Not sure if I like the way the new R6 feels. The new gsxr is looking pretty good, but I haven't had a chance to ride one myself.
So yea, just curious to see what you guys/girls think about them. :cool:

rode my buddies 05 gsx-r 6, I Freakin loved it(except i couldnt get full lean on those stock tires). it was super nimble, smooth and just plain fun to ride ( oh and the seat isnt a credit card). kept it in the 10k range through some moderate twisties.
i rode the o5 r6 (06r6s). it was strong but didnt feel as comfy. but what do i know? oh and im not partial. ive had a 86 FZR, 03 SV650, 2k R1, and now a 04 GSX-r750. GOOD LUCK and check the net for reviews on each. i think the gsxr won 1st in a 2006 shoot out. dont know which mag, and it might have even been the liter bikes.... eh. GOOGLE my friend. And the opinions here.
i'd get what didnt make my butt, hip, wrists and back hurt...

If you ride on the street then get the GSXR, more usable powerband. 06 R6 doesnt really come alive till 10k

I would consider the Triumph Daytona 675 as well. I think it has the best street-friendly motor.

duno if that 1k is a real pic... it only looks like they added a undertail and low mount ala rc211v

I would get the GSXR6 dan. Cheaper and more useable power
