I will most likely be in the market for a newer 600 in the next few months. I have been casually looking but before I pull the trigger I would like to get the pros/cons, and personal experience of said bikes. I currently own a 01 gsxr 600 and I must say besides being a bit of a PPPig, it is a rock solid, reliable bike. I would love another Suzuki if I found the right one. WHAT I AM LOOKING AT: 04-05 gsxr (love the body styling) ![http://i2.iofferphoto.com/img/item/390/027/51/o_04_-_05_Suzuki_GSXR_600_Manual.jpg](http://i2.iofferphoto.com/img/item/390/027/51/o_04_-_05_Suzuki_GSXR_600_Manual.jpg) 03-06 cbr 600rr ( **REALLY** love the look of this bike, and I am a honda boi at heart) ![http://www.manuali-moto.com/CBR600RR_large_03.jpg](http://www.manuali-moto.com/CBR600RR_large_03.jpg) 636(both the older and newer styles) I hear good and bad things about both styles so please enlighten me. older ![http://www.ridersreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/kawasaki-zx6r-636-2004.jpg](http://www.ridersreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/kawasaki-zx6r-636-2004.jpg) I know looks arent everything. I am interested in info and personal experience in terms of reliability, performance, and anything else you may want to add. TY ---

I’ve rode all of those, had a 05 cbr600rr and the 636 obviously, rode my buddies gsxr 600 too. Not a fan of suzuki at all, the cbr was nice though, hondas last forever too, but overall the Kawasaki beats them in styling, ride, and fun factor IMO ---

Not a fan of suzuki at all, the cbr was nice though, hondas last forever too, but overall the Kawasaki beats them in styling, ride, and fun factor IMO For styling, I’d say 05/06 636 \> 600rr \> 03/04 636 \> gixxer For handling, 600rr.
