Hey, I have one of those! It's a great bike, I like it alot. I gave that one to my son and got one of these and WOHA!

 

XR70--I didnt see the pictures of your bikes intially--WOW--nice cbr600rr!!! Ill be that sucker just screams!! Its hard for me to fathom how much power the new 600's must have..

 

Thanks man. Actually the 06 is a 1000. I like it alot, it's a cool bike.

 

Can you compare the 2 bikes?? Im surethe new bike does everything better but in terms of riding position, comfort, stability and overall handling which one is the better street bike? A sales rep at a Honda dealership told me a while back that the new bikes dont do well at slower speeds (ie traffic or cruising)..Ive heard and read so much about the latest bikes being more like race bikes (hence the "RR" designation). Im just curious your thoughts.

 

The F2 is definately more comfortable on the freeway and in the traffic. The position of the handlebars on the F2 is higher. The first time I got on the 1000 it felt pretty weird riding it around the street. Once I got in the canyon, it felt good. The 1000 holds the line a little bit tighter and the 600 has a little bit quicker handling. I really like the low end power on the 1000 pulling out of the corners though. The bike is smoother also.

 

Beautiful bike--Enjoy!!

 

I went out riding today anddid it ever feel good (although a little nippy!!). Thisbike screams but one thing thats been on my mind is replacing the stock exhaust. Could I get some recommendations for what pipe's (slip on or full) work best? Ive always heard that two brothers and yoshi were the best but would like input from everyone here who has replaced their stock exhaust with an aftermarket one..
Here's a picture of my today before I took off on my ride...

nice bike.

i had a yoshi RS-3 on my bike before the swap, then i went to a D&D i loved both of them!!

 

I have a D&D and love it. Sounds great and performs great.

 

Slip on or is it worth the cost of a full exhaust system?
