Well I think it's a fairly simple argument. You're looking at a 600 with nearly twice the miles of a 954 and both of them are flawless by your estimation. I think all you have to do is figure out what kind of rider you are. Is the 6 or the 954 more suited to your needs? I'd go for the 954 myself, but I have more than a little bias.

In regards to the lot of heat, all I can do is give my opinion. The bike does get warm, but if you're in an area like you mention then it will literally be a non-issue. I am not experienced enough to describe the differences between a 600rr and a 954, all I know is that after a ton of riding there is nothing I can't do on my 954. I mean.... other than destroy a Hayabusa on a straightaway.

Folks I know with both are so damned happy to be riding a honda of either spec. I would simply say the 954 because I am a bull on straight shots, and fold in to turns like the wind. I have ridden for hours on end and remained comfortable, there is no bogging and stepping off is a disappointment.

I would say its mainly up to you on the looks dept, and if you want the extra power. I dont notice any heat issues like others do. I have ridden a lot of bikes, and they all get hot on a 90 degree day sitting in traffic. Im also biased, so just by looking at my name you know my choice, but i tried to be open about it for ya.

I would go 600rr.
Here are my reasons.
I love 600's more in the turns.
I work at a bike shop and aftermarket parts are endless on the 600
954 is very limited on aftermarket parts and used parts are harder to come by.

Thanks,everybody the streets here is mostly straight with afew hard turns so mostly iwill go to the 954 choice ,ithink the main differance between the twowill be in mid range torque and top end speed am i right,witch will be more relaxed in rush hour when going and getting back from work,thanks very much
