    i'd agree with that. very comfortable, speedy, and smoothest throttle of all bikes i've taken for a ride.

    I voted the gsxr because I've sat on a few of the newer R6's and there just not nearly as comfortable as the cbr's or zx6r's. But i'm always going to choose the gixxer. Love those bikes.

    Always changing...but there is no place like home.
    Vehicle:
    2012 Nautical Blue DCLB TRD Sport
    Black tube steps, Skid plate, Bilstein 6112's front and 5160's rear, Bakflip F1 folding cover, EGR raingaurds, All weather floor mats, AFE pro dry filter, BFG 265 70 R 17 KO2's.
    I bought my R6 after a lot of research and a hell of a deal. I narrowed it down to the R6, CBR and GSXR. The GSXR was pretty comfortable for my short self and I could plant my feet firmly on the ground even on a 1000. The CBR spread my hips apart too much and could barly touch the ground comletly even though I loved th style. The R6 fit me perfectly. It's very comfortable to ride with a low center of gravity. You can throw it around easily and pull the front tire off the ground in first without dropping th clutch. My feet are ALMOST completly on the ground, mostly the balls of my feet. Personaly I didn't care for Kawasaki at the time not seeing much of them since Top Gun, but recently they seem a lot better, but I havent done the research.

    Two completly different animals, the 675 is a 3 cylinder (this is comparable to the 600cc class of 4 cylinders). The 750 is a 4 stroke (basically a bridge a class between 600cc and 1000cc).

    If your looking at the 600 range, get a 600cc 4 cyl, a 675 tripple or 759/848 twin.
    If you looking for 750 range, grab the 750cc 4 cyl.
    If you're looking for 1000cc range, grab a 1000cc 4 cyl, or 1098/1198 twin

    Performance wise they are all very similar, plus no offence but you will never get anywhere near the maximum potential on any of them, especially riding on the street.
    My professional advice (I work in the industry) is sit on them all, find which one is most comfortable and that you like the looks of it. And that's the one you pick. Simple :)
