Which bike would you get?

Do you have much experience on 600cc bikes?
I have ridden the Ninja and CBR, neither of them are beginner bikes. The CBR600RR is basically a racing bike they made street legal. The thing is a rocket, and might be to much for some ones first bike.
I would pick the CBR.
I am a fairly experienced rider and I would probably still choose the CBR500R. Lighter, easier to flick in traffic, really smooth all around, and much cheaper. It does lack in power compared to the 600 but not that important unless you are taking it on the track. The 500 can still get up to 120mph which is more than enough for me.
Bigger is not always better and 99% of girls will have no idea the difference in the 500 and 600 cbr.
CBR600RR = $11,500
CBR500R = $6,000

DirectDanger, Kaii: Would you say the CBR can be used as a commuter bike? 90% of my mileage will be big city traffic..

Yes the CBR can be used as a commuter. But if 90% of the miles will be in the city you should for sure get the CBR500R. It will be easier to control in traffic, gives you more than enough power, slightly narrower profile so you can split lanes easier (depending on where you live), and uses less gas.
The CBR600R is badass but you really need a track to use it anywhere near its full potential.

2nd and 3rd. The Ninja is a precision machine, but the Honda is a very solid bike. It's a throw up, but I like the Honda because you can get the Repsol kit! I'd take both if I could, the Ninja is on some dope Batman shit.
1st bike looks cheap, 4th is fugly even though it is a Ducati.
Buy me one please?

Also, I'm in Germany. I can legally go 300 km/h on many roads. If I ever wish to kill myself that is..

I rode a Ninja 500 for two years. I used it to go riding on the weekends and as a commuter bike. I sold it because I got into too many close calls while pushing the bike's limits on corners, but I never wrecked.
I will consider getting a motorcycle again if I find a permanent home and have health insurance.

I have 3 friends with motorcycles, and they all say the same: That they had near-death experiences. I guess I'll see. No turning back now for me..
Yeah, I meant highways. And yeah, they are boring, but I guess if you go really fast while overtaking cars, it's a thrill..

In the OP pick one of the three jap bikes,, since they're pretty much all the same pick whichever one fits your body the best. Spend a good amount of time sitting on each of them remember the wind will take some of the pressure of your hands on the bars.

I'm not a big fan of Triumph. Although that might change if I ever ride one.
Yeah, I think I won't get a racing bike after all. Something like the XJR or SV650 is more likely.
