A CBR600f is a lot more refined and easier to ride imo.
They're beautiful bikes, if I didn't want something a bit bigger for touring i'd definitely get one for my next bike.

Part of that's because as a new rider I like the security of knowing that ABS is there in case I misjudge something and grab too much brake or am unsure about the bike's capabilities in poorer conditions. I might never use it, but knowing its there will give me confidence and that's the most important thing for me to develop first - confidence and capability.
Friz, as I commented on your vids when you posted them - great review and lovely bike.
Having said all that, I'm off to the Kawasaki dealership tomorrow for their 2012 model launch night and will see the new ER-6F (Ninja 650R for any guys on the wrong side of the pondActually prefer the Ninja name, but that's just me.), so it might all change after I've drooled over the new shiny stuff :lol:
