    The CBR is plenty powerful comparing to the R6... hp, weight... I think the salesman's trying to say that the R6 has a lower "race" like riding position comparing to the CBR's more "streetable" high riding position (somewhere between a sportsbike and a cruiser). If you're a beginner, it'd be more "comfortable" to ride in the CBR than the R6 on the streets. I've heard some people say that after 30min-1hr on the R6, they get soar back, wrist, shoulder, etc... but I can go for hours on the CBR, just because of the comfy riding position.

    I think the 600RR ruled the show! There was always a huge crowd around it! Probably because there was only ONE there! But if you sit on it, it just feels so right... You can tuck your legs in real tight cause the tank's narrower, the gas tank's been moved to the bottom of the bike to lower and center the center of gravity, the riding position is much more natural if you tuck your head down and hence provides more wind protection! WOW!Now, just need to take it out for a spin and see how it handles in the real world!

    r6 are nice bikes, kinda like the gsx600r, very tight, low seating position.

    bike show in edmonton this weekend, probably going to go snap some pics.

    ps: buy a ducatti, the sound is reason enough to own one
