Based on looks only?

[limbimtimwim]

You can't buy that CBR or the ZX6 yet...

[Cajun]

Which ever one gives you the biggest wood, is the best bike, over all they are so close, and only maybe 2%-5% of us will really notice any difference

exactly, so it mainly comes down to aesthetics

[gamgee]

damn I voted zx6r without looking at it, and the new one looks farken fat and boring, damn that R6 looks amazing, that would have got my vote if i'd looked properly!

[BigTex]

You can't buy that CBR or the ZX6 yet...

Doesn't mean you can't look at them?

[Finn]

Well the R6 wins my vote for best looking bike but given Yamaha also make piano's, I'm going with Honda for the simple fact that they specialise.

[BigTex]

The swollen look of the 6r is starting to grow on me and the gauges are set up nicely.

Love the 6rs front and back, just hate the sides.

The cbrs have never made my pants tight.

The gixxer kind of wins all around to me... especially in black. :yes:

Honda also make cages :(
wouldn't you rather someone who also made piano's than someone who made cages?

[skelstar]

Its not 2007 yet either.

I like the orange ZX-6R...I prefer my bikes to be a bit more 'substantial'. Even if its just asthetically.

[Finn]

When they can make a piano do 0 - 100 in 2.5 seconds I might consider it. Besides, Honda make a damn good car as oppossed to Suzuki's fashion accessories.

[skelstar]

Yamaha helped develop the Celica motor...not that its a good thing to put on their c.v.

Indeed they do Finn.

All you need now is a lawn and you too can own the top of the range......

Yamaha and Toyota go way back - Yamaha did the motor on the original 2000GT Toyota sports car.

The new ZX6R looks good from the side and rear

So you too secretly want a Honda. How else do you explain the grass stains down the side of your bike?

[MD]

Funny how the looks of the ZX6R grow on you after a while. like a wart. But a nice sleek shapely wart.
If they were chicks, then based on looks alone I would want to take the R6 home given the choice. The CBR is nice but still looks too much like last year's piece of crumpet and the year's before.

[McJim]

What can I say...I like big butts....hence I picked the Kwak.

So the Gixxer is the hot chick everyone in the neighbourhood has done? :buggerd:

[Zed]

They're ALL choice bikes, but I voted for the Honda!

I know the 07 CBR6 has many new changes from the previous model including new engine, frame, swingarm, wheels, etc reducing it to a claimed 155kg dry weight!

I know the 07 ZX6R is new too, but they have reduced the engine displacement to a 599cc instead of 636cc.

I presume the 07 GSXR & R6 are relatively unchanged from last years models, not sure?

Hence why I say - Go Honda!! :2thumbsup

[Postie]

the CBR looks shit, the front looks like it came from the CBR125 which puts me right off, and I don't like the colour scheme or the indicators.
the R6 looks like an university arts students designed it back in 1982 with the title "my first space bike in the new Millennium". Its cool, its sharp but the muffler makes it look pants.
the Ninja is ok and would be my second choice, but in black. The front lights makes it look like a tadpole or a Axolotl. But its gonna have some nice technology and probably have some stunning handling.
but the GSX-R pictured, has to be the best looking sports 600 of the coming year. Suzuki can't win a MotoGP or even competitively contend to save their testicles, but they make world class road bikes. They are the only manufacture of the big 4 to get the design right, not this year, but in 2004 with the K5, they got it right then and they stuck with it. The CBR should have stayed the same design as last year and just kept the work to the engine to convince the rest of the pony's to come and play. The same with the ZX6, the 04 looked much better then the 05.


anyway, thats just my two cents. I'm bored....

[Joni]

You missed my favourite... I know not a Jappa but still... Daytona 675

[The_Dover]

The CBR front wheel looks too big. It looks like a Tonka toy.

The ZX6R looks like a fat chick that you'd pork if you were a few sheets to the wind.

It's between the other two but I just couldn't bring myself to say it, so the gixxer it is.

[Maha]

Joni is right.......'DAYTONA'....but back to the asian market??....R6 hands down....:banana:

[Indiana_Jones]

Same here, where's the Daytona 675? :D

But out of the Japa's I'd go for the ummmmmm Gixxer

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

How do the prices compare?

[MattRSK]

They all have varying versions of spades attached to the back!

[Zed]

They all have varying versions of spades attached to the back!Considering many a new sprotsbike owner will chop the spade off, it's kinda irrelevant, but if we were to judge these beasts by the 'worst looking spade' i'd have to give the R6 my vote for that horrible cheap looking metal bracket hanging off the rear, however, once that is removed the R6 has the sexiest rear & undertail of them all! :yes:

[SPORK]

They all look pretty shit...

The ZXR looks like a lumpy shitheap, which is a shame, becuase the previous model was fucking sexy. The CBR and GSXR look weedy and pathetic, and the R6 looks like an insect. I prefer the previous gen models.

Sweet as Doctor. Negative. Anything you like at all on these new bikes, or are you stilled pissed that you don't look like a girl anymore?

Triumph Daytona 675
MVAgusta F41000 is my Sportsbike of the yar.

[MattRSK]

I like the White CBR or the Black!

[Sparky Bills]

Honda all the way baby!

[Zed]

Must admit there's something about the new designed head fairing of the CBR that I dislike, too much of a gap between the front guard. Still, the 07 Shootout road and track tests will be telling...

[hXc]

Don't particularly like any of them, but the Kwaka looks fairly nice. The fairing designs on all the new bikes are too similar. That's why I like the Kwaka - It's completely different!
Give me a naked or half-naked any day.

"Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year, I would like a K6 SV1000s in primer white (I'll paint it custom) with a yoshi pipe, air horns and enough money for the best new riding gear (So I can buy it to match the colour).

If you're generous, a new DW drumkit would be nice too thanks. Red fade to black, 6 piece fusion sizes, DW9002 double kicks, Zildjian Custom A series cymbals and I think that'll be it. Thanks heaps.

Cheers
Zac"

[SlowHand]

Fuckin' oats!

[Batcerb]

ZX6R gets my vote!

Nice simple paint - the soft lines really nice to see, actually looks more refined than the other 600s.

Note the ZX10R style wavey discs

:yes:

[Shaun]

Make tham all black, then look again

[redbaron36]

Have always liked the Honda's, but like the idea of the front indicators on the GSX, Ninja's have never floated my boat but that R6 is not too bad.

Im not been rude, but I admire the way you covered everything in one sentence.

Takes years of practise and and mauvch time spent at university plus the unique ability of pulling crap out of your arse when you need to. Good luck on that path

[Zed]

So do suzukiAnd theirs are LAME compared to Honda's.

[Marknz]

I'll wait till I've read some comparos from Europe, and then test ride some of them myself before making a call... but I'd be inclined to go with Honda as per usual.

Accept for zxr and cbr, the r6 and gsx looks exactly the same as 2006. Am i wrong?

No, you're right.

[inlinefour]

Its pretty even INO between the CBR and R6, the rest are 2nd equal.

Yamaha YZF-R6, in Yamaha blue.

[Waylander]

Zed, I think he meant the 07 R6 is the same as the 06 R6 and the 07GSXR the same as the 06 GSXR.
Not that the R6 and GSXR were the same.

[-df-]

R6 for me, really like the 04+ R6 and R1...

[ShadowNet-Spy21]

Yea R6 for me aswell, especially 06 R6
