Please read the sticky at the top of the forum. Do that, come back with some more in depth questions and maybe you'll get some help.

If i was you i would just go w/ the gixxer 750. I learned on a gixx 600 and i thought it was quick at 1st then got used to the power.

the R6 / cbr 600 felt very weak to me.

A big guy like you on an R6 i couldnt even amagine...

I couldnt be happier w/ the 750.

We are about the same exact size and I have a gixxer 600 and it feels fine to me.

you should sitt on all of them. see what fits and then go from there. What kind of riding do you want to do? You want to stunt, I would go with a bigger bike so you have bottom end power. A 600 you have to rev to get power. If you want to cruise a 600 will be fine
