The CBR ended up being the best deal. I actually tried getting a leftover 07 R6 first, but the dealer was a prick, so I found this other dealer about an hours ride away w/ a good deal on, you guessed it, CBRs, and I ended up paying the same price for the CBR that I would have for the R6, w/ a 5 year warranty. Knowing my luck, I will need the warranty at some point.

If anyone is in the market for one and are fairly close to this area I recommend them. http://www.ritchiepowersports.com

WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT. You must not have ridden one since the redesign it 07. The new model has THE MOST reliable and smooth clutch and transmission out there. Granted the motor is lacking but the jumper mod evens it out with suk it terms of rwhp.

It's not an issue when they're new, it's when they get miles put on 'em. Maybe they fixed it, I don't know. I wasn't aware he was looking for a NEW bike, I thought it was for a used one, therefore the trans comment.

Oh I see. Yea the 636 trans sucked major ass but I've been on the (06) R6 and (07) GSXR, and while I was neither really pushing either of them, I have to agree with all the mag reviews the new Kawi trans is a thing of beauty. At times tho I do dream about the mid range of the honda
