Anyone able to compare these type of bikes against a supersport type 600?

Coming from a 250 I know any of these will be more powerful but I really have had my eye on a nice zx6r buttt... people on kijiji want an arm and a leg for their 6Rs so Im debating the others ones since they are priced much cheaper. just wondering if if the difference in power is realllly that noticeable.

The difference between 70hp and 115hp is significant but you will rarely be able to use it all on the street so you need to weigh the pro's/con's of both and decide what you want to live with.

Personally ill take the more practical bike that still looks good an is capable of spirited riding.

+1. I rode the CBR650F and CBR600RR back to back, and even up to quasi-legal speeds the both were very similar. I won't lie...the 600RR was faster and more focused of course, but for day to day riding and some fun up north, both are quite similar until you are in HTA172 territory.
