Honda CBR600F4i
Yamaha R6
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R
Suzuki GSX-R600

Has anyone rode all of these bikes and can tell me the differenes as far as driveability? I've only heard about the cbr which is pretty easy to handle and that the GSX is more rougher on the handling and throttle response. Can anyone add to that? Thanks! And also, if you have one of these bikes can you tell me why you chose that over the others? Thanks!

 

I hope this helps. I came very close to buying a ZX-6R. I just liked the Suzuki style a lot more. Also, I sat on the Ninja and Honda F4, and I found the F4 very comfortable. I went w/ the Gixxer bc it wins every comparison in the mags.

 

Go test ride them all at yer local dealer. The bikes are so similar its really just yer personal preference. I love em all...haven't ridden a zxr6 but ive riden a zxr9.

 

r6 is the fastest and lightest one out of the bunch...but its not forgiving to the newbie rider...BUT its got killer loooks and is super sexy. The f4i is much more forgiving and has nicer ergo's all around great reliable bike. I just test rode the 6r this weekend, and it impressed me quite a bit. Not as light and flickable as the r6 but much more stability and VERY comfortable ergo's. Only bad thing is that its sorta bulky and is probably the heaviest out of the bunch. You really shouldn't listen to what the magazines say cuz what is the best bike for them might not be the best bike for u. If your taller and heavier...i'd say go w/ the 6r or f4i. If your more small framed, go w/ the r6. But be warned, the r6 can PUNISH u if you don't take it easy. To wind all this blabbering down, if you want a good OVERALL package go w/ the honda. If you want a bike that you won't get sick of for a long time and get u the most bitches go w/ the r6. If you want a bigger, smoooth powerline, really comfortable seating position and also the cheapest, go w/ the 6r.

 

after reading the road racing world race review by a team, i kinda lost trust towards suzuki

it seems that the gsx focused sooo much on cutting weight, that some major parts of the engine end up failing and causing problems... not like ive ever owned a suzuki, but just changed my thoughts towards suzuki.

 

Every summer i work for a suzuki dealer, Never heard of this problem


And I love how people give false information on which bike is faster/lighter/better.

 

yeah, i havent ridden one so dunno **** about it, but that kinda scared me.... its on Road Racing Wolrd, so take a look.
