You really need to go and get a feel for both of them. The stance you sit on both of these bikes are completely different. No one can tell you which feels better for you. Tech wise, they're both really good bikes. Just don't get a Ninja..

The R6 feels a lot more like track bike and the stance is very aggressive, almost too aggressive for comfortable every day riding, but that's user preference.

I was going to post this exactly. I can't ride an R6 for more than a half hour. It bunches my arms up like a T-rex. An 06 ZX6R 636 was the most comfortable sport bike i've owned. GSXR's have a more upright riding position which is comfortable as well.


Go to a dealership and sit on all of them.

Is it easier to ride a harley like bike or a street bike.?
I want to get a bike this year but I'm not sure which to get, I've been riding dirtbikes my whole life if that helps.

Sorry if I just hijacked this I didn't think it was worth starting a new thread.
