I'm planing to buy my first street bike and I just can't decide which one to choose from. I have road a dirt bike for 8 plus years, and I will be taking a motorcycle safety class before I make my purchase.

The forecast was anything but cer-
tain. Unpredictable combinations
of currents and forces developed
into a deluge— and we’re not just talking
about the weather. A 600 comparison test
produces a perfect storm of facts, impres-
sions and opinions. Just when you think
you’ve got a steady barometer reading on
the state of 600 class performance, the ele-
ments change dramatically. Last year we
picked the Suzuki GSX-R as the top bike in
the 600 class, but this year its rivals have all
undergone serious revision. Honda’s
CBR600RR arrives in trimmer condition
with sharpened reflexes; Yamaha’s manic
R6 lands with a power gain and steadier
handling; Triumph shows up with a boost
in displacement; and Kawasaki’s ZX-6R, a
strong runner-up in last year’s 600 scuffle,
Test
600 Shootout
ENLIGH TENMENT
> Honda CBR600RR
> Kawasaki ZX-6R
> Suzuki GSX-R600
> Triumph Daytona 650
> Yamaha R6
returns with the most radical design over-
haul of the group. Where do we start?
The simple logistics of a 600 comparison
test are daunting enough, which is why we
welcomed an invitation from Sport Rider
magazine to collaborate on a test. Costa
Mouzouris and Paul Penzo travelled to Cali-
fornia, where the state was still recovering
from an unusual run of bad weather, with
record rainfall producing landslides, flooding
and road closures. Fortunately, a clear spell
produced a couple of mostly dry days, allow-
ing sufficient time to sample the five 600s.
For the race track test, the bikes were
fitted with Michelin’s latest Power Race
DOT racing radials in soft front and medi-
um rear compounds.

None of them are better. Sport rider, and cycle world and all of those magazines compare all of the 600's so you can read some of the articles before you make a decision.
All of them are great bikes and so similar in performance that you wont notice the difference, especially since you are a new rider.
Go to your local dealer and sit on all the bikes... for a good 10 minutes and see how they feel.
I would make my decision using the following three factors...
Comfort, price, looks. Find which one is the most comfortable, looks the best.. then see if the dealer is offering any special deals.
You cant go wrong with any of those choices.
Good luck and have fun!

Safety class or not, DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE AS A FIRST BIKE.

That's like finishing your first solo flight in a 2-seat Cessna and asking if you should get an FA-18 fighter jet as a first airplane! Your dirtbike experience will help, but you can go faster in 1st gear on any of these than your dirtbike can do WFO, and you don't have traffic and other distractions on the trail.

Buy a used SV650 first, and learn to ride it well on the street before you start thinking about a supersport bike.

Seriously.

all these bikes are awesome machine with alot of power. im 20 and ride motorcycle since i was 5 and now i own a cbr 954rr and love it. im a big fan of honda but my first street bike was a ninja 250 when i was 14 great learner bike but that was the big cc bike that oklahoma allows under 16. my friends love their 600s But keep in mind that a used bike can be a good one if you inspect it very carefully (ei. O.E.M. parts, front plastic looks new and tail plastic looks old) things to watch out for
