I'd say the 600rr is at best equal in class to the other 600's. The r6 has the track advantage, IMO.

Im a honda boy at heart, But im not brand loyal by choice; more by chance. I know pretty much every magazine article is biased and skewed, but it does say something when they consistantly pick one brand over the others regardless of unconstant variables like lap times and top speeds.

but still, i dont buy into hype, and i think the gsxr is the most overhyped brand name since Harley Davidson. its good, great even, but dayum there are 3 other brands out there that are just as good.
Honestly if I was in the market for a 600, it would have been the RR followed closely by the R6. I'm by no means a suzuki fan boy, but when i see lap numbers, by 2 riders, of different skill level and they are BOTH turning out lap times faster on the gsxr than any other brand you have to wonder... I went with a gsxr because nobody else makes a 750 and I was pleasantly surprised at the smooth power and fantastic suspension.

The new 1000RR is growing on me and that black one with the repsol decals is fucking Better in the looks department than the GSXR1K.
