Here it is again, the same old question:  CBR600RR, R6 or GSXR600/750.

Here is my history,  rode some dirt bikes as a kid.  Then I got a CBR500R, then a 03 GSXR750, sold the 750, still have the 500.  I am in the process of selling the 500 now.

Locally I have found the following;
A White and a black CBR600RR 2016 for $8600
Yellow and a white GSXR750 for 11k 2017
Yellow GSXR600 2017 for 10k
2016 R6 yellow for $9200

I loved my old 750.  I think the R6 maybe looks the best.  Best deal is the CVR.  I am not 100% sure I love any of the colors yet.  

The reason for this post is for the 2026 specifics, I did not find much out there about the 2016 models.  

I am guessing people will say cbr for comfort and street, R6 for performance and track, Gsxr 750 for speed.

Thoughts?

What about a 1000cc v twin?  I don't own a sports bike but my brother had a Suzuki SV1000 before his current R6. I liked the feel of the V twin for general riding. It was much more friendlier for stop and go around town driving. You didn't have to rev the dog crap out of it to make power.

Any of them will be fun and underutilized on the street.

It all boils down to what feels good to you.  Suzuki's feel the absolute worst to me as far as riding position.  But I am extremely tall.

I agree about the gsxr 

ive always been a Honda fan. Dozens of dirt bikes and a couple cbrs. Never had issues with any of them. RIDE RED

You aren't going to find a whole lot for "specifics" on any of these four for 2016.  All of them have been in production for several years unchanged for the model years you list.  The CBR since 2013, the current GSX-R models (aside from the 1000) have been around, unchanged, since 2011.  The R6 for 2017 has new bodywork, but the 2016 model was last retouched in 2010.  

Go with whichever one "fits" you best.  Nobody can tell you which ones will do this.  Generally speaking, the Honda and GSX-R will be a tiny bit more relaxed, and the R6 is very aggressive.  

All four are well-built bikes that will last you a long time.  I've actually found small I-4s on the street to be pretty tractable and easy to live with.  I've never understood the aversion.  If you're trolling around town at 3500rpm on a 600, you're doing it wrong - ride it as it's designed, and you won't have any issues... though, you probably know this having had a 750 already.  As far as fours vs. twins on the street, I had a ZX-6R (2011), and also had an Aprilia Falco (1000cc twin) - the 6R was a FAR better street bike - sport twins tend to be pretty snatchy at low rpm, and don't really run smoothly until almost 4000rpm anyway... and this was a bike that was "tuned" for street use.  The 6R could walk it from pretty much any speed.  

My choice, personally, would be one of the GSX-Rs.  If I want an I-4 sportbike, I want some meat on the top of the powerband.  That counts out the Honda, which falls on its face up top.  The R6 is great (club racers still buy shitloads of these things), but the seating position turns me off. $11k and $10k are a bit steep for the GSX-Rs around here... a dealer on the other side of the cities from me is selling the 750s and 600s for $10k and $9k, respectively.  You might have a bit more wiggle room for negotiation.    And if you can find a 2016 for significantly less, go with that - again, they're *exactly* the same bike.

Which one do you think has nicer looking headlights?

Choose what ever fits you the best.

Of those, the GSXR750, more torque and less clutch slipping when riding calmly in traffic, but I'm more into supermoto/naked bikes than streetbikes.

I really want to build up a FZ-09 with some Ohlins bits, sliders and handguards...

Of the posted bikes, Gixxer 750 hands down.

Well, I got the blue R6 2016.  LOVE it

Grats on your new bike op

Didn't catch this thread in time but did you ever take a look at the Honda VFR 800?

any of the Yamaha triples

2017 GSX-S 750's are deeply discounted right now.

I've had 3 GSXR750's including the '17. After 3 weeks on the '17 I sold it at a loss. The most uncomfortable bike I have ever ridden. I am 6'2" and that bike was awful on the nuts and in general. If you can take them on a test ride and pay attention to riding position and comfort it may better help your choice. I bought mine without riding it as I was always good to go on the 750's.

ETA: I see you got the R6. Great choice.

I'm 6'4", ~220lb, and I have always hated riding anything with clip-ons for very long.
Didn't help that I broke my right wrist a few years ago

The real fun is had on supermotos anyway
