good question
i was at the dealer today gettin the 600 mile service done and i noticed the 1000rrs new side exhaust
saw it online a couple days ago, but in person its even worse.
however im sure with a few mods it could be underseat again

yeah i agree with everyone here though, i just got an 07 600rr and im only 16.
another thing, like everyone said, dont buy a bike based on the top speed, you'll never ride to the BIKES full potential, only YOURS.
you pick the bike, the bike doesnt pick you.
BUT, lol i do have to say the cbr is one hell of a bike. i rode my friends 08 Ninja 600 in June and its garbage.

 

Can't go wrong with a honda man. Just ask John Travolta!

Oh and ask thirdgen about taking his F4i over 100,000 miles...

let me clear something up here guys.. i ride a 500 ninja...enough said... but by top bike i didnt mean top speed. i'm not that informed in the bigger bikes like the 600's where there is actually some speed. i thought maybe the different brands had a lot different acceleration and just things like that , riding comfort style, i don't care that much about going top speed.

haha typo. i'm not a retard i swear.

 

well if you want comfort on a sport bike then go with honda. the kawi and yamaha have a more aggressive/racing style to them. this video compares the kawi and the honda.

what diff does it make? any modern 600cc sportbike is sick fast..

that being said there are better choices then honda for track only type of stuff..well, from an f4i owners point of view. im sure the RR is sick

 

2007 Mid-Class Bike of the year = CBR600rr
2008 Mid-Class Bike of the year = CBR600rr
2009 Mid-Class Bike of the year = 3-peat possibly?

I think it speaks for itself on which bike to get. Not a single regret with mine, not one!

 

Under seat again? Just get an older bike, don't screw with the new 1KRR until you know what you're talking about.

 

I sincerely hope you're wrong. I know it makes sense due to lower center of gravity, but I don't like the looks. The 08 1krr is growing on me though
