If you had to choose between these three which one would it be? All 2008 models.

Honda CBR600RR

Yamaha R6

Triumph Daytona 675

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

The '08 CBR-RR is supposed to be the best of the best this year.  There's only the Graffiti color, though at SS.  Last one until the '09s.

(I checked.)

Nope. Not at all. Just keeping my mind busy with useless pondering.

Gotcha.  So what was the "two backsing count" thing all about?

Maybe I should say nevermind.  Wink

I am sure that they would all make really good additions to any stable.  One thing though, and something that you mentioned on Sunday, was that even though Honda makes a wonderful machine they just seem a little over-engineered (i.e. dead).  I have to wonder if the R6 might feel similar.  Hard to say without being able to take them for a spin.  Shame we/you didn't get to take that one girl's (that we saw the first time I took the Daytona out) new 600RR for a quick ride when she stopped to chat that day. 

One thing about the 675 is that it still has a bit of hooligan to it, and it seems to actually want to be ridden by a mad man.  I kind of like that.  Wink

I would love a Honda VFR if I were stateside and wanted to ride endlessly and trouble-free with some baggage anywhere at any time.  That said, Passion is not part of the experience.

I have always been a bit of a freak for Yamaha, and the new R6 is a keen little offering.  Yellow and Black is a can't lose combo.  Shame about the flames though.

That said, taking Ben and his bike out of the equation, the Triumph is the winner.  Sorry Ben-jo.

Dude, you are going to take me out?  I hope you know that I am not a cheap date.  You gotta take me to a classy place in order for me to put out.  Wink

You know, there are two REALLY pretty blue 675s down there at the moment.  Wink  And also a green Street Triple, along with a really tasty looking white Speed Triple.

Sorry to break this to ya, but two forties and a pound of bacon does, in fact, make you a cheap date.   Wink
