r6 and the gsxr 600

They are both greeat bikes.
Which one feels better to you?
WHich one do you like the looks of more?


A buddy once told me to do three things when buying a motorcycle:
1) Make sure it fits.... ergonomics, comfort, style of riding etc.
2) Make sure it's fun... depending on the purpose, it may be handling, power, looks or a combo
3) Make sure when you get off and walk away... you feel the erge to look back with a great big grin and say... Oh yeah... That one's mine!

Im a gixxer guy myself so I would say GSX all the way but... I own an R1 now. They are really nice bikes (the R6's are too) and they are slimmer bikes. And in your situation as much as I hate to say not to buy Gixxer I would tell you to buy an R6.

I would buy whichever one fits you best.... Whichever one feels more comfortable.
