kawasaki zx-6r, but i may be a bit partial as i own one

the kawa, honda, and gsxr are all pretty even in all the comparos i've read. they say get the 636 if you like that raw edge, and get the honda or gixxer if you like smooth handling and easy ridability. the kawa and the gixxer have a bit more power than the honda though. then the yamaha is now considered under-powered and i heard the front wheel is a lower profile and makes the bike flop into corners.

just a few thoughts, if you're thinking of buying, just read a bunch online and go to a dealership and sit on them all.

I have an 03 R6, and since the 03 and 04 are pretty much the same, I'll disagree with the underpowered part. Its just the area in which it delivers its power is a lot higher than the other bikes. It likes to be revved. And as far as the lower profile (60 pro) instead of 70, it does not "flop" into corners, it OWNS corners. The lower pro actually makes turning into corners quicker, but does not have as large a contact patch. The 60 profile treats me good on the clovers... I have heard the gixsix actually lacks in the power area (but is still nice and torquey), but its getting all the 1000 goodies that the 03 got... I've heard the 636 too is a nice lil package and can hang with gix 750's, but heard the plastics are a little brittle. Then again, most of this is just what I have heard and read... and remember, the 03 R6 didn't win BOTY for no reason =) ...

It's all relative, what ever you fit best on and feel most comfortable on is gonna be the best for you. Power wise on the street makes no difference what-so-ever You're probablly never going to reach the max. potential of any of the bikes. Try not to forget there are more than 4 motorcycle manufacturer's out there as well.
