Street riding: gixxer hands down(i'm assuming this is what you would want it for)
Racing: R6 hands down

You make me feel good when you say this, but at the same time, it has invoked more fear in me.

I did a good amount of riding today, about 75 miles, and i still have to go to work, so thats even more miles on it. I must say now that im finding myself more confident on it, I can say (after riding Tiki's ZX-6R) that it rides like a dream. It just seems so nimble. The 03's have gotta be the same, definately go R6!

I need to find someone with a Gixxer to compare otherwise

I rode the R6 today (thanks rolla) and compared to my ZX6R, the R6 seems a bit down on power. other than that my dislikes were the egronomics, and that the bike felt very small compared to the ZX6R ( a bigger and heavier bike) . also, i dont really like the fact that the R6 doesnt have a neutral finder. i kept missing gears. the R6 is a very well made machine, but id have to say if i had to choose id go with my ZX6R. the yammy felt very nimble by comparision BUT there was less fairing to hide behind at speed. for the track, id prolly wanna try out an R6. but if the main goal is street riding/some trackdays, if the GSXR feels anything like the ZX6R id def. go with the gixxer.

weird... i sat on a zx6rr and thought it was more comfortable than the r6 because it was a little lighter/smaller FEELING...
