Default Bikes, 600cc which one?

I have been riding a 94 cbr 600 for the last year or so, and I really want to buy a newer 600 sometime before summer. The bike I have is pretty old, the previous owner laid it down a couple times, and I think that I should move to a newer bike. Which 600cc sport bike do you think I should get and why?

Honda
Kawasaki
Yamaha
Suzuki

Those are the only ones I am looking at, and it will either be an 05 or 06. I am kind of leaning towards the Kawasaki ZX-6R ir 6RR, but I dont know. Any help is appreciated

R6 or cbr. im a loyal honda freak, but after working at a motorcycle performance shop for a while, i fell in love with the R6.

the R6 is basically a race bike with signals.

they are all pretty much the same these days. Pick whichever you feel most comfortable when sitting on

ZX6R, CBR600, R6, GSXR600...can't go wrong with any of those. Those are listed in my preference though.

I don't really keep up with bike news, but IMO, Yamaha>Honda and thats pretty much the spread for 600's. Make it a 750, and the Suzuki would be butta.
