riding position? like sitting on a nice leather couch, the daytona is far more "race" oriented.

handling, near the same, the R6 can f.cuking RAIL....The R6 will not let you shift casually, it demands to be kept at redline.

I would trade the daytona for it, straight across.

But the handling makes a 600RR feel like a school bus.

best I could find http://www.bcsportbikes.com/fo...16327

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The CBR600RR that Motorcyclist tested was 415 lbs with the tank empty and 445 lbs with it full. It's supposed to weigh 370 lbs dry, but not even the R6 weight that (388lbs dry). The manufacturers figures are always lower than what the actual dry weight of the bike is. The RR is still 30 lbs heavier than the R6 and 27 lbs heavier than the 6R.</TD></TR></TABLE>


and to prove i'm not a mag racer.....

FULL tank of gas, just topped it off and then put it on the scale

Aftermarket exhaust, no passenger pegs, etc... compare apples to apples (stock vs. stock)

http://www.motorcyclistonline.....html

Daytona 675 ('06) 3.34 417 6/06

No '08 600RR data in that list though.

Magazine numbers are ALWAYS skewed. Put up pics, or GTFO. real world vs. paid for numbers NEVER match up.

Once again, show me a pic of a 600RR on a scale, not skewed manufacturer's numbers.

edit: look at the pic above, Show me WET weight, ready to ride. I don't want to see lies, I want to SEE A BIKE ON A SCALE, NOT SOME INTERNET BS, MAGAZINE PAID OFF LIES, OR MANUFACTURER SELLING SPECS

They put all the bikes on the same dyno and the same scale. Its not some big conspiracy theory.

The written reviews on the other hand...

different manufacturers have a different way of measuring "dry" weight. Some may or may not include fork oil, brake fluid, coolant etc.

Also, Triumph may or may not use imperial lbs. which is different, they don't make a claim either way.

sponsor and add placements ALWAYS make a difference, doesn't matter the scale or dyno. Once again, I show you true, legit numbers, and you internet tuff guys come back with skewed data

don't cry because you can't prove me wrong. I came with solid evidence, you contributed to ruining my thread about how much I like the R6, and got ran out.

I come with facts, not fiction or internet/magazine drivel. Can't defy them? then go home.

Ad dollars ALWAYS have a bearing on content. No matter what way you look at it.

So why are you at 90%?
