07 ZX6R or 07CBR600RR ??

**justsomeguy** · 20th December 2006, 00:32

The reviews are out...

"Let the competition compromise performance for rider-friendliness; the new ZX-6R was designed to take home trophies and set the quickest lap times, while being more exciting to ride than anything else in the middleweight sportbike category."

"In the end, I am hard pressed to find a fault in the 2007 Honda CBR600RR. It is lighter, faster and looks better than any CBR to date. If it's able to back up the hype associated with it, then you could very well be looking at history in the making. The motor addresses the needs of street riders and should be more than competent for racers, the brakes and suspension are billed as racing quality, and it is, of course, a Honda."

Dont know if I like the look of either of them....the CBR looks like a Fazer which I think is fugly and I dont like the teardrop headlights of the kawasaki, not that I can afford either of them 12K just is'nt enough for a new 600 maybe an '88 CBR1000

Took a 675 Daytona for a test last weekend - awesome machine. Recommend anyone buying in this class to test one before they make a purchase. I have cut and pasted this for your info.

TRIUMPH WINS MASTERBIKE - JEREZ 2006
Hot on the heels of winning the Supertest in March 2006, the Daytona 675 has just scooped the prestigious Masterbike 2006 award for the best Supersport bike.

Taking place annually, Masterbike is an objective multi magazine track test for sports bikes, organized by Motociclismo, the best selling bike magazine in Spain. The Masterbike test is one of the most important and influential magazine tests due to its impartiality and fairness.

The bikes used in the test were selected by Motociclismo directly from manufacturer/dealer stock and then run in by the magazine, rather than using bikes drawn from the manufacturers' own press fleets. This ensured that the bikes being tested were truly representative of those a customer would buy from a dealership.

The test is split into three categories - Supersport, Superbike and Maxisport, and magazines from 17 countries around the globe send their fastest riders to test each bike. Every rider does three flying laps on each bike, of which their fastest lap is recorded. The score for each bike is then based upon a combination of the average fastest lap time, the bike each rider scored their fastest lap time on and a comprehensive survey based on each bike.

The Daytona 675 came top in each of the scoring categories! Triumph achieved the fastest average lap time and were over 0.5 second faster than the other contenders. The majority of the riders did their fastest lap on the Daytona 675 and the bike got the highest survey average, scoring an impressive 8.5 out of ten.

The top 3 in the Supersport category were:

1st: Triumph Daytona 675 81 points
2nd: Yamaha YZF R6R 47 points
3rd: Suzuki GSXR 600 35 points

**Fishy** · 20th December 2006, 08:42

K6 GSX-R750 is the best bike to hit the shop floors in 2006.

**placidfemme** · 20th December 2006, 09:19

They ain't sold new anymore granpa.......

Everyone knows they're the bizzo - especially in blue.

-- However from my limited test riding experience the 03/04 636 is easily the most aggressive mid range sportsbike. It's pretty much similar to the 06 R6 in ergo's maybe just a tiny bit slower wayy up top.
