Ok, I've had an '08 CBR600 and also a GSX-R1000 both for a while, but I finally sold the Gixxer.
It was in new condition, nice pipe, PC3, blah blah. A 37-year old fireman bought it who had quite a bit of biking experience, so I feel fairly confident it went to the "right person" to handle it.
I struggled everyday on which bike to sell. I think I like the 600 more in every way except that 1k had just incredible nuclear-like power, man. I made myself stop riding it just so I would forget how much seamless push it had.
The bikes were earily similar to ride, except the Gixxer was heavier, and had more power. The seating position was very close, so it was easy to swap back and forth. The CBR tossed around like a toy though, and is fun as hell to rev, so I decided to keep it over the Gix.
Every time I would ride the CBR I would just marvel at the overall package, how awesome they are and FUN as hell to ride.
I think I made the right choice keeping my CBR, but a part of me misses the big Gix.
Will everyone do me a big favor and tell me I did the right thing. :wave: I need a little CBR affirmation.
Here's a few pics of the bikes together the day before I sold it...
