new hondas absolutly are heads and tails over the yamahas and suzukis. even though alot of things about bikes usually depend on personal preference, when it comes to balance, quickness, handling, and comfort the cbr is way above the rest. I personally have a 2008 cbr600rr and i work at berts where we only carry yamaha and suzuki so i have sat on, moved, ridden every new bike and several 2007 models. I feel the cbr is best for reliability, quality, it is also much faster and better balanced. the bars are a little more of a comfortable riding position, and the prices are all very similar.
