It is a great bike. Great track bike. What type of style of bike riding does she do? I would not mind owning one.

Well, I love my bike. Same bike 04' R6... The only difference is mine is blue and I couldn't be more happy with my bike!!!! She will love it if she has ANY appreciation for bikes AT ALL!!!! And about the 600RR My bro JUST picked up a new one and they are not bad at all! They are a little smoother, seem like they are made more for street and not as much race ready straight out of the crate. Both good bikes, and My brother in law is picking up his new ZX6-RR at the end of this week (well, so the dealer says it will be ready then) But I will let you know how that goes. But overall, I think the R6 is the best!!! Although I am a little biased...



Mine is the R6 in the Rear, my bro's 600RR up front... Well my thoughts.

Later,

Sean C.

The R6 is a wickedly nice bike. Rediculous power at any rpm. The bike will do a wheelie all day every day. I like larger displacement bikes like 900s or 1000s but when I rode an R6 for the 1st time, I was shocked. The bike was torquey as hell!!! Nice bike. Tell your sis to be careful. My girl will be learning to ride on a 600 this summer. It'll be cool. Just stay safe.

definately better? those who know, know that all 600's are amazing right now. your fav? that's because you ride an r6, 'nough said.

p.s. the flames are just that (flaming!)

Chiiiiiiiil with the flame comments.

Besides, the flames just mean that the bike is faster than other colors. especially blue

I am not biased toward Honda motorcycles, so I can honestly pose the question:
How can anyone think the R6 looks sexier than the double R?!?

I agree with the comment that all 600's are amazing right now, but to say the R6 is so much better than the 600RR seems a little crazy to me.

Can you elaborate on that? The 600RR was based off of the RC211V.

well they are prety even as far as power. but the R6 is easier to throw around. more comfortable to sit on. looks better(personal preference) and to top it off, who the hell would ever want a bike that rides around with the front wheel on the ground all day. the R6 feels like it is virtually made to wheelie. all around just a funner bike to ride.

not sure who said it. but iam not biased to this bike because i own one. i own one because when i rode them all this one performed best. if honda can ever make a bike that doesnt feel like a broomstick with a plywood seat. than maybe ill consider buying one.
