Which one?

[MadDuck]

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

Honda CBR600RR

Yamaha R6

Triumph Daytona 675

(Ben -- your vote don't make the beast with two backsing count!  )

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.)

I guess you are at wits end with the immobilizer issues?

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

[DRKWNG]

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

Maybe I should say nevermind.

the daytone didn't sit so bad.... but that new yammie is certainly hard to ignore...

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.

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.

You know, there are two REALLY pretty blue 675s down there at the moment.    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.
