had the 2023 for 5 months now... and i agree with everything you said... i use it for the same purpose and street mostly and occasional canyons.... this bike has made me fall in love with life again... maybe even saved my life... its perfect for me also... enjoy brudda

@@socialising6037 The R6 is a bike designed for the track. It is wider, longer and taller and has a very aggressive seating position. The 600RR was a bike designed to dominate the track (did for almost 10 years straight) but be used on the street hence its fuel gauge, something the other two do not have. A GSXR is very similar to a 600RR where they both have a seating position that is close to that of a touring bike. I could sit fully straight and comfortable flying at triple digit speeds but there would be no way to do that on a R6 and your back is going to murder you. Additionally, an R6 has a different powerband that is not designed for the city where as the 600RR and GSXR have the perfect balance for power/performance. You want to be able to apply low throttle and smoothly move about in the city and when you need it. The last thing you want is to fight the bike where it struggles in low throttle conditions. The R6 is usually advertised as the perfect track bike because its just made to go fast, nothing else. Forget comfort, forget low speed. If you are getting the bike to ride it everyday for thousands upon thousands of miles, the R6 is one of the worst choices you can make but you'll rarely be told that due to how popular people make that bike to be. If you go with a GSXR, pick the 750 because its better in every shape and form over a regular GSXR 600.
Owned both gsxr and cbr600rr, brother has a 2023 zx6r, most differences the gsxr600 is most comfortable with longer gearing and top speed, cbr has the shortest gearing, quicker handling and strongest engine breaking, zx6r has best mid range power but most uncomfortable, weakest breaks and no steering damper. And Yes the cbr has this authentic growl note that I absolutely love.
I have an 04 and im 5'7 and can just barely flat foot! Insane power, so much comfier than the new R7 I tested at a dealership. Love the deep growl at the low RPMS and scream at the highs (ive got a yoshi rs5) and get compliments on the sound all the time
@champainshane Yeah the height difference isn't the biggest but it's enough of a difference for me specifically to be more comfortable! And yes, its made to be more aggressive bc its meant to be a street/track bike. Hence, why the CBR seat is wider and more comfortable. It's all completely up to each rider and their inseam! I know those FZR's are insane and wonderful bikes, I'd still get one for sure!! I just can't afford one new and I'd rather not finance a bike. Plus, no offense to the riders, but there's so many brand new riders on brand new R7s, and it lowkey gives a bad rep
Very nice cbr! I have the same bike, mines an 09. I love mine also. I started on a 250, my 600rr is on an entirely different planet than my 250. I'm still getting used to my cbr, I got it Oct 2022. I've made one video, plan to make more.
I started on a 250 also and only rode it for a season. It was so slow lol. Life happened and I never bought another bike. That was 10 years ago 😅 I’m shopping for a cbr600rr now. I’m a little worried about the power after not riding for that long but I’m just gonna take it slow and respect the bike.
I had a 98’ Mustang Cobra SVT and I miss that bad boy. It was a blast to drive. Now, I’m getting into bikes and I’ll own a cbr600rr in about a year. Currently, I have a KTM RC390 as my beginner sport bike.
I think any year R6 I’ve ever seen looks way better than the same year CBR, no question about it whatsoever. Yamaha is just so much better at making beautiful bikes, whereas aesthetics is one of the areas that Honda is lacking in most
@@gp8721ehh r6s look okay some look too aggressive at the front to the point it looks goofy I like my 2005 gsxr 600 personally I wouldn't want to start on any other bike
@@juicy9592 I kinda figured that. But it still got to the top speed quicker no doubt cause every time you shift your still in the power band vs Honda the power band is mid range. Unless you shift early asf you won’t get there as quick and you’ll loose top speed.
Not all Cbr make their power in the midrange it depends on year I think either 2006 or 2007 is the year they went from all the power in the top end (like the r6) to more midrange
So... you don't like the breaks :) lol. I know how you feel I started on a Honda as well ,and loved every second of riding it. I also agree about the breaks but, you can upgrade ,and swap those out. The 05-09 cbr 600's were absolute fire❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 ,and the fastest 6's on the road by far.
I put ebc sintered pads on my 08 cbr and it helped a lot. I also added stainless steel lines and brembo rcs19 master cylinder, now the brakes are great
Better visibility to people in cars and also makes the bike look better. High beam turns on both headlights vs just 1 and people wont tell you that you have a headlight out..🤣
I finally stopped carrying my wallet in my jacket pocket as it FINALLY after so so many hundreds and hundreds of miles in the twisties it was unzipped and bounced out somehow...I searched for hours and finally DID find it RIGHT on the double yellow in the twisties WHEW! Now? I ONLY keep it my inside breast pocket with the velcro closure

I’m obsessed, I’ve watched about 100 hours of riding vids and plan to get my first cbr600rr in under 1 month

Actually comfort was one of the reasons why I picked my 600RR over an R6 or GSXR.... That and the fuel gauge. 😂
Is the 600rr really that noticeable different in comfort compared to the other two?

Do the the same zipper thing. I’ll be smacking the throttle and at high speed be tweaking whether or not my zipper is up lol
I got the motodynamic headlight upgrade on mine, best mod I've done.
I have the same headlights. Love them too

You should fit fine.. Bare in mind it's a sports bike
