as you give no previous bikes owned or riding experience, or even how you came to the limited choices you've listed, are you just after a review of those bikes ?

there are plenty of reviews on the web

once again, perspective, the more you give the more we'll be able to help, I've been riding 35 years and owned over 100 bikes, so what I would get and why would greatly differ from you.

but in order to be helpful, I've worked and ridden on all of these, so my basic thoughts (generally of course as you don't give year model).

CBR600 = compitent comfortable a little on the boring side amounst it's peer group

ZX6R = up until 2002 a fairly rounded model and comfy to, engine has a fair amount of character for the type

GXSR6 = good fun but not as everyday as the other two, better trackday tool though (although from my perspective the 750 is the better bike).


Cheers Mark.
