Yeah the brand new R6 is awesome! I would definetely recommend it. All of the 600 class bikes are so close in tests this year that I think any of them would be a good choice. It all comes down to riding comfortability and price these days in my opinion.
The R1 is a monster bike and if you're in that ballpark I would advise you to also take a look at the Gixxer 1000. It is a mean bike though and definetely not for a begineer or intermediate.
If money wasn't an option I would pick up a Ducati 996 just like the one out of the new Matrix Reloaded Movie.

Why do I get the feeling that this will be you no matter which bike you decide to get?

Do some research on the web and buy some magazines.
p.s. Steve..I saw 171mph indicated one time....
But the twisties are where it's at.

My bike, with my weight -- tops out at 161 --- i had it full throttle on a flat road -- held it at 160 for about 20 seconds -- it would touch 161 and go back -- i think i got everything it had out of itAbra-cadabra!Comment

Plus you mentioned Vegas....that hot air wasn't helping. My run was back in late 2000 during a cold month in central florida. Plus I was a skinny punk that year of college.Originally posted by Lightspeed

Top speed of the R6 is only like 153-154 actual mph...but it's nice to brag about the larger #'s.Comment

I think the new Honda CBR600-RR has the best styling out of all the new 600's out there
I like the exhaust pipe that comes out under the seat, it gives the bike a cleaner look than the other bikes with the big can muffler on the sideComment

Go with the CBR. It's a killer bike. I have a CRBxx 1100 - Top speed is 180 MPH (Lightspeed refuses to ride with me!).

Good bikes for little cash
Kwak ZX10
Suzi GSX1100F
Yam FJ1200
Honda CBR1000F
You can pick these bikes up for around £1200.
They all do 160 mph.
They all do 1/4 mile in about 11 seconds.
If you have money burning a hole in your pocket for a sunny sunday toy then go for the R6 a decent s/hand one will cost around £3000.Comment

here are my two babys ,
but if you are looking at the 600 class , i would also say take a lok at the gsxr they are very nice as well

Most of the bikes I've driven in past have been small - I started with trikes and dirtbikes, and when I got older moved up to motorcycles but always small ones.Originally posted by topal

Lightspeed bought me a 2002 Ninja 500 and I was worried that it was too big for me..... Six months later I decided it was time to play with the big boys, and now I'll never go back.
I've never opened the bike flat out. I did 140 MPH on the trip that Lightspeed mentioned above, and one other time I got it up to 145 MPH. That's about the best I'll do.....Herschel Savage

so you are saying go for big ones... hmmm that scares me.. i havent ride any bikes but scooters..
Comment

WTF is that!!?? seems crazy....Comment

You haven't ridden a decent bike before and you are considering an R6 or a CBR6??? Those are both too powerful for a new rider. Go for a VFR400 or a GSX600F - cheap to buy, cheaper insurance, handle excellent and a lot more friendly to a new rider.Originally posted by topal

r6 is a great bike, Id suggest that if this is your first, second, or third bike. =)
r1 if you've been racing for a few years.
I'll be gettin an r6 sometime this year, if all goes as plannedComment

I dont see where any design was copied. Just about all the new 600cc sport bikes look very similar.Originally posted by voodooman

I dont see the R6 with the muffler under the seat, so how did Honda copy that?
But then again none of these companies sign my checks so I dont give a fuck if they rip each other off or not.Comment

suzuki... not seems wild as R6.. i will ask prices.. if its cheap as you said.. why not... i would go for it...Originally posted by Kat

I had a Katana 600 before, good bike to learn on but I grew out of it in about a month.

The exhaust under the seat has been around for years, but only by aftermarket kits, Honda is the first to produce a bike with that design stock.
The front end split V design belongs to Yamaha though, now all manufacturers have copied it, because its trick.
It really doesnt matter who copies who, because when its all said and done, and your talking about a stock bike, Yamaha builds the best bike bar none.
Even that doesnt matter, because after you add an akrapovic pipe, Port and polish, bore it, add a race cam, change the carbs, aftermarket shocks-swingarm, steering dampener, new paint
job, put VP 110 octane racing fuel, and some other aftermarket
parts, Then you can say you have a crotch rocket.
Topal, whatever you decide will be good for you for a year or so, then you can move up They are all good for a beginner. Whatever you do though, Order an aftermarket pipe first off.Comment

You wont go wrong with either but,
The R6 is not as forgiving as the CBR if you get in trouble the R6 can be a handful.
The CBR on the other hand is almost boring is a situation were the R6 makes you feel alive or scared to shit depending on your experience.New Hosted Galleries

the 750 front end (half an hour job - I timed myself!) and top end (about 6 hours) go straight in/on and liven things up a littleOriginally posted by DrinkingHard

pussies drive japanese motorcycles ;), nah i just think you can get more for the cash with a used italian bike, plus, the ladies HATE hondas! It doesn't matter what ducati you are on, they know the name...
get some class and performance.
spend the extra buck and go italian/spanish
ducati or aprilia DEFINITELY the way to go.
know how a honda civic sounds with an exhaust? i find the cbr alot like that.
