oh come on. where's your humor falcon?

but anyways here are some pros each

R6: nice color scheme, super rigid chasis with only 2 welds, weighs 357lbs, nice 5 spoke rims, known for its agility.

CBR600RR: you gotta dig the underseat exhaust! nice slick tail, modeld after their GP racer, wieghs 370lbs, nice bright yellow so other cars will notice you (safety reasons), good history of reliability and comfort.

dude, you won't get any chicks on a puny 600.....just go ahead and get a Suzuki Hayabusa...chicks will just tear their clothes off in the streets when you roll up on that badboy..you will be the ultimate pimp mack daddy stunna on a busa...and don't worry about wearing one of those stupid looking helmits or leather jackets....khaki shorts, a wife-beater, and a good pair of sandals are all you need to rock that beast...some pimp looking ray-bans will help add to your pimpness and keep dirt out of your eyes too so you can holla at hunnies all the time foo!!

and remember...speed limits are for ****!!

We're talking about sport bikes here buddy. Anyhow, honestly go test ride em before you think about choosing. Its a pretty big investment. I haven't ridden a 600 double arrrrr yet but the chasis is supposed to be pretty stiff compared to the f4i.

Screw a 600.... get a litre bike

Seriously.... if you select between the two i would say go with the honda's.... they are more reliable.

That is unless you like your batteries to explode/leak and destroy your swingarm, shock, chain and rim like the 99-01 r6's are known to....

PUhahhahahah, you didn't mention the auto chain tensioner issue. You'd think they'd start including f3 manual tensioners w/ all f4is by now

true, honda cant decide what they want to do with those stupid tensioners. hurricane/f1= manual cct
f2 = hydraulic cct (noisy as **** at cold starts w/low oil pressure)
f3= manual cct again (never had a problem with mine yet)
f4/f4i = ?? manual cct ??

I would go buy a billet manual cct from ape racing if i had an f4/f4i. They are like 35-40 bucks and then i would be done with it....

I would rather have that expense than having to replace the rearend of my bike (swingarm, shock, chain, and possibly rim) that is not under warranty due to a leaking/exploding battery caused by overcharging and a bad regulator....

Maybe i just like hondas a lil too much.
lol

In the latest "Stunna Consumah Report" the R6 took it by a hair for getting the chicks.

I'd get the Honda, probably in black/red color scheme though. The Unit Pro Link suspesion, bigger brakes, better weight distribution sold me.

Of the 2, I would go for the R6. But, If I had $8K right now, I'd be looking to buy a new ZX-6R. A black one.

I'm a fan of white bikes too, but is it not silver? Too many silver bikes nowadays.
