Help me decide what to buy!
I know they are all very good bikes that's what makes it hard. Give me your opinions on them. Looking to pick one up by the end of this month.
I wasn't sure how to make this thread into a poll, if someone can change it that would be great! Thanks!
Honda CBR 600 RR

You will hook me up with your g/f....how does she look? Just kidding...anyways.

These are the top 3 bikes in the 600 class, that is what makes it hard to decide. Right now the most expensive bike is the Honda my favorite. But price wi$e the two other bikes are $1,500 off already.

Can't go wrong with a Suzuki. You didn't consider it??

There 600 is too old school and they don't have the colour I like(Red). Performance is getting behind the other three bikes. Suzuki looks like a good bike but not until they change it up IMO.

i dunno... guy its your call... i say the 636 it was rated the best bike out there in that class... so its your call... i say go test drive them fist to see how you like them... its all about the ride and feeling when you drive them... pick the one you feel the most comfortable with...

undertail exhausts on some bikes tend to get warm... at least in my experience, and once i reached back to wipe a signallight and charred my finger after a long ride.

just a word of warning.

as far as the bikes youve posted, ive always been a fan of team green, so i gotta say kawasaki, all the way :)


my advice though, is to go take them for test rides,
any dealership who really wants to sell a bike will let you ride one.
whether you have to talk them into it, or go somewhere else, someone will fire one up for you, and its the only way id toss down 12000 bucks for a set of wheels.
tell the guy your gonna take it out for an hour or two, and ride the city, out on the highway, on the dirt (if your comfortable/confident enough), pretty much everywhere, so you know what the bike is really like.

if they wont let you take it that long, id suggest finding another shop.

Wow an hour long test ride...do they let you do that? I went today to test ride all three bikes back to back....so far it is the Honda first then the Yamaha second, then the Kawasaki third. Now it is just a matter of price$$$ Anyone know of a place I can get a good deal on the Honda CBR 600 RR in red? List price for that bike is the most expensive at $12 K
