Maybe but having owned pretty much every Japanese manufacturer I can say it's a noticeable difference. Worth the difference in price? That's up to the purchaser. When I worked for a Suzuki/Yamaha dealership more then 3/4 of our personal bikes were Honda's.
I would happily purchase and ride a GSXR-750 again. Just to let you know i'm not biased to the current bike I own.
a few years back this was true, I sold my latest Gen CBR600RR and picked up a new ZX6R, I prefer the Zx6 from a quality standpoint.
