I have been on one a few times.... I had the 05CBR600RR and was really thinking about jumping ship....... the problem was i had lots of mods, ohlins rear shock and steering damper and yoshi exhaust to name a few......... .... I couldn't be bothered jumping ship to the R6 and having to start again with all the mods.... A little bit more power than my CBR but not as comfy....... and my CBR was on rails with the suspension mods.... they look nice in white but they look amasing all black!

I had an 04. They are bloody quick, so the 06s onwards are probably even quicker.

The only thing that made me get a litre bike was the low end power, or rather, lack of.

Most commentators seem to think the CBR600RR is the best of the 06 600s though, at least as an all round bike.

No slipper clutch on the Honda though which I did think was unusual.

Putney is right, it is the better looking bike.

Alas, I can only dream (unless I bin the g/f)

My mate's got one exactly like that, and my other mate's got an R6 in blue.

They both love them very much

I really, really don't want one, I know I'd hate it
