Lookin at the RR for my first
whats up everyone! newb here looking for my first bike. a good friend just bough tone and now its on to find one! He got an R6 and I am looking at the Gixxer's and the RR's. A few things I have read and seen so far that I dont like
No slipper clutch
Stiffest throttle out of the 600's
Hard to delete the "mud flap" because its UNDER the exhaust.
things I like
seems to be the fastest bike out there for 07
high ratings in mags
elec steering damper
any more insight I cna get from all of you owners would be great! Thanks!

No slipper clutch (wont make a difference if this if this is your first bike, anyway, your index and middle finger on your left hand do the exact same thing :-p)
Stiffest throttle out of the 600's (lol are you serious? they put crap like this in an article? lol)
Hard to delete the "mud flap" because its UNDER the exhaust.(it may be harder than the r6 or gsx-r, but not that bad to tell you the truth)
things I like
seems to be the fastest bike out there for 07 (had the fastest 1/4 mile of all the 600s for 2006 as well, even the 636 and the new r6, believe it or not)
high ratings in mags (you can never beat a honda on overall reliability, and street manners, but like you read, for 2007, honda's the best on the track as well)
elec steering damper (yea i want an 07... lol)

suzuki makes great bikes too, dont let me steer you away from them if you like them, pretty much the only thing that drove me towards a honda, is the fact that hondas have always been what i have ridden. i know how to work on them, i know exactly how reliable they are. i'm comfortable with hondas, if that makes sense.brand loyalty i suppose, lol

And they are right to do such. A 600 sportbike (regardless of year or brand) is not a beginner's bike. Though few here on this board will actually admit that. Excuse while I now put on my flame retardant suit.

and what you want it for none of them are the best. do you even know what a slipper clutch is? do you realize that the R6 doesn't have a slipper clutch either? it's a slipper LIKE clutch... not the same. go find a F2 or SV650 or some other standard sport bike before you look at the triple digit HP bikes. otherwise you are bound to make poor riding habits, and i'm sure we wont hear from you soon there after. take our advice. your friend made a poor decision.
