what did you have previously and which one do you find more comfortable? performance wise you aren't going to notice all that much of a difference so it mostly comes down to looks and comfort.

What kind of riding do you do? Do you have experiance on a bike? The R6 is less forgiving than the CBR.

Seriously, iv had two R6's and now own an R1. The new r6 has no low end power and honestly wont be that fun to ride on the streets. It is soley designed for high end power for race track use. Its power doesnt really come on till around 9000 rpms and must be kept in the higher rpms to take advantage of its power on the race track. Yamaha designed it this way because it was meant to satisfy racers that really know how to ring its neck on the track.

The new CBR on the other hand has way more low end torque and will be much friendlier on the streets for the casual rider. It still ripps on top end and handles awesome too.

I went and sat on both a CBR600RR and an R6 today. The R6 felt like it had a more aggressive (read: less comforable) riding position and even though it was a light bike, *looked* considerably bulkier from the view of the rider. I've read similar things about the engines too, liquid, so for street use, the choice seems pretty easy to me.
