surely that should be R6 not R1

Are you looking to buy one? I think it depends on year also... or do you just want opinions of the new machinery this year?

Honda_Star's now got a Street Triple and I have to say it's the best middleweight I've ever ridden on the road, fantastic bike
What do you want it for? On the road, how fast do you need to go? If it's for heaps of trackdays as well, then go for a SS 600, there isn't much between them to be honest, the RR is about the most polished, the ZX close behind, bit more involving, the R6 is horrible on the road, better on track, the Gixxer better on the road, a bit soft for serious track use, the Daytona is simply fab, great on track, awesome engine, bit extreme on the road. Ultimately you're asking other people's opinions, and that's all you'll get if you read a magazine group test too. It's your money and you'll have to ride it so make your own mind up. Go and test ride them all and decide for yourself...

Re: Best mid size Supersport (600 ish)
Got to agree with scotty the cbr6 is the most polished, its easy to go quick on,handles well and looks good. Its good at everything without being extreme like a 06r6 is. I've owned a cbr6rr, cbr600,2 r6's, a 748 & 749 and as much as I love me dukes the 6rr was the best of the supersport bunch. So much so I'm getting another one on sunday
Try them out til you find what you like and then buy it,if after a while you don't like it sell it on and buy another one. Its fun riding different bikes rather than sticking with one
