Middleweight comparison

**White trash** · 25th May 2006, 10:50

Here's a link to a great comparison test between all the new midleweight sports machines.

749
R6
ZX6R
CBR600RR
GSXR600
Daytona 675

The results are a bit of a surprise to say the least, as are the measured weights of all the bikes.

Enjoy

So what was the end? My work internet connection seemed to take a dislike to pages 9 onward.

Thats what i expected... Suzuki number 2!!! Wicked for a street based test... Eat that kwaka owners... Cant wait for the track test... i reckon its going to be tight between the R6 and GSX-R

Measured weight (pounds) empty tanks & dunslop qualifier tyres
398 Hon
396 K
407 S
390 T
397 Y
435 Duc

Shows (again) what lies weight stats are. 396 pounds is 180kg. Add about 18kg of gas & some slightly heavier tyres for the real world.

So what do they claim? Bahhh!

Shesh my CBX550 claimed 405 pounds. Where's the progress?
+they had those cool inboard brakes. Erm. . .

Nice link WT. Just goes to demonstrate that you can't go wrong whatever you buy these days.

Unless of course you buy anything but a GSXR.

Thanks for that Whitetrash. Now that was a comprehension bike comparison. Why, because it took a bloody long time to read.
I wîsh they had spilled the beans on their quick ECU tinkering that gave them a few more horses on the ZX!
Time to take WMCC up on the new demo they're offering. Still, in the end sounds like they all as close as a bees dick, except the yam, which is a limp bees dick below 10k. The paint job on the CBR wasn't too shabby either.
