Moderator Cynic Posted December 28, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2012 You are smart to keep the fazer. That honda is a track weapon. Well ridden it is as fast in most cases as an r1. But fk me the thing is unforgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Wheels Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Have ta agree with Blackhat on this one. R6 is as good as R1 on a track or twisty roads. The 600RR your getting is a fast bike, very much the same as the blade. Cynic is also right,,,, they are unforgiving,,,,,get it wrong going into a corner and your in big trouble. I had the older version CBR600F, fine bike also but uncomfortable, the RR feels like it has twice the power so you need to really get to know the bike before you push your limits on it. Good realiable bike, good engine, frame, brake and all the rest,,,,,nice to look at but more than an hour ride and you will be feeling sore. I wouldnt give up my Fazer for one of them anyway. Fazer is a good bike allround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
