I like the European signals that come on the Honda 600RR. At least the '07 that I saw. Clear, front and back. I have a feeling the wouldn't pass DOT inspection here. That is why they stick with the lame/dated looking lights. What you do to your bike after the sell is up to you. It's out of Honda's hands when it comes to liability. Just my theory.

 

I cant believe that you have not run into any post yet that talks how riders are surpized to get tickets for their aftermarket undertails/tail signals/front and etc.

the reason why the manufacturers make those ugly tails it because they are DOT and STATE law compliant. just like cars/boats/tanks; bike needs to pass the state inspections and the turning signals on bike should be anywhere from 4-9"(depending on the state) to the side of the tail.

edit:
btw, intergrated tails are illegal in most states. cops dont really care nor does the dude doing the 10 bucks inspection.

 

That r6 looks mean

Heres the honda pic that was missing lol 08 cbr 600 rr in graffiti

 

If you haven't riden the new 675 Triumph you should. They are amazing bikes, if i had a chance it would be the bike I would purchase next.

 

Well, I think thr Honda is still the overall best as far as the 600 class. If Josh Hayes hadn't crashed both weeks atLaguna Seca, CBR 600RR would have SWEPT everything (SBK & AMA)...

 

what youre saying makes total sense...think about all the sponsors it takes to run a good race team!
you think honda (even as HUGE a company as they may be) foots the entire bill for their race team?
nope the sponsors make the high performance parts in exchange for the production bikes being made well, but outta LESSER quality parts....so the regular joes are encouraged to upgrade....

its the same in every industry...this is why chevy's dont ALL come with the vette motor, borla exhaust, carbon fiber fender wells, natuzi leather,dvd's with 32" plazma'sand 24"s on them...

 

Just one question besides looks how do the rest of these bikes compete against the cbr600 rr in performance. I am a performance guy though looks are a plus performance is always better. From what I have read thus far the cbr 600 rr is still king in its class as far as performance goes. The 08 zx6r does not have the power the R6 is still that a race bike and not really pratical for street riding. Just doing my own personal research this is how I would rank bikes in terms of being pratical for the streets

cbr 600 rr
triumph 675
kawi zx6r

This just based on the research I have done on street riding.

man, im probably going to get banned for saying this.....but im thinking triumph's (stock)might just be faster than honda's as a rule of thumb...they use lighter(more costly) materials and put bigger displacement engines on their bikes....pretty sure its always been that way....

you put a triumph daytona (594cc-not the 954) against a 600rr and the triumph will outrun it all day long...now cornering? cant say either way....

i would probably put a speed tripple against anything honda can come up with on the track...
