But is it THEIR money? No. They're just haters. Be happy with the bike you bought!

BTW, congrats on the purchase! How long have you been riding?

Honestly you are the type of rider that makes me want to not get into the sport. You seem more concerned with how people think of you and what the majority of people think is a "better" bike. When in reality the majority of people don't know what the **** they are talking about. Learn to form opinions for yourself you might actually find some quality thoughts...

Dude, you have a nice bike. I rode a R6 for 2 months, and its a nice bike too, but my brothers RR is just as good, IMO. Dont worry about what everyone else says. Congrats!

Exactly. Do what makes you happy!! If you are trying to please everyone else and just following the crowd, you'll never be truely happy.

I ride an F3 that's all rashed up on one side, but it still rides the same. Don't worry about what other people think just be happy with what you have.

R6 = Street/Track Bike, Good all around, small, handles good

RR = Track Bike with street amenities

I've been battling which one to get myself. But I'm kinda biased since I've been riding my buddy's RR for the past 2 months.

Just shutup and ride.

i have to say that marmaladeboy has a good head on his shoulders. that is exactly right, i rode both and ended up on my F4i.
so to all those who ask: "why didn't you get the new rr?" because my bike was perfect for me, now do you want to ride or talk?!

these are probably the same idiots who think 600cc bikes are "small" and "slow." and i am sick of bystanders giving me the universal sign for "wheelie" every time i ride by. especially in 15mph traffic.

sorry just venting.

I rode an R1, an R6, and a 600RR (all belong to my friends hehe) and the R6 is pretty much ruled out of the equation . . . The RR feels like the R1, only a tad bit heavier(less power too obviously but still incredible nontheless) . . . Good buy, awesome bike, Honda rulez . . .

turn your caps lock off.

as for the rr or the r6. if you already have the rr, why the hell would you want the r6? learn to ride what you have, if you don't know how to ride that bike don't waste it, i'll take it off your hands.

i say get a friend with an r6 ride it and find out for yourself... motorcycle riding is a VERY personal thing... if the bike doesnt suit you... then it doesnt suit you PERIOD... if you like the way it feels then the choice is obvious....

Hey man,
Don't sweat it. I guess it's common to have buyers remorse, but it you were happy when you first got it, than that's what counts. Besides, no matter what bike you get, there's always going to be something bigger, badder and faster than yours! Look on the bight side, you can always trade or sell it off for something better in the future.

I hear you both, i was on a decent sloped road down the jersey shore this summer and riding behind a cop in 15mph traffic... these three jerk offs on the side of the road are yelling do a wheelie, i even pointed to the cop infront of me and they still did it... morons
