Yeah the GSXR's are by the far the best overall bikes in my opinion. And I am not saying that cause I have one. Before I bought this last one I test drove a whole bunch of different ones to see if I like anything else since all I have ever owned is GSXR's. It was no contest.

Hondas were smooth and comfortable, but were not fast and did not feel like you can do anything on them except put around.

The Yamaha was fast and cornered great and it would be my second choice. I don't like the looks as good as the Suzukis though, but they are definetly a nice bike. But like Jet said they are not for a novice rider even though they are a 600.

I choose the Suzuki because it has the best combination of power handling and comfort as well as looks. It just feels like you can do so much more on the GSXR's.

I am getting rid of the 600 and getting a 1000 in the spring. Jet is right though, a 600 you atleast feel like you are getting your moneys worth out of it, you can flog them for all they got and generally they won't get away from you, you start reving the liter bikes over 10k you better know what the fuck you are doing or your a dead man.

Either way bikes are way more fun than any fast car in my opinion.
