Today I'm fresh off the CBR600RR and my impressions of the bike are fresh so I wanted to get them into the forum before the memories fade. We took a 20 minute ride and the stand out things I noticed straight away is how easy the Honda is to ride. For a sports bike newbie it did not intimidate at all, it does not have great wads of instant power that tries to tear your arms out. Compared to the Triumph I liked so much the Honda does not have the "punch" off the bottom of the 675 but once the RPM's are up the fun starts. As far as handling goes they both felt light, agile and similar given my level of ability. One factor that makes it an easy choice for me is the great brakes of the Honda, much better than the Triumph without question. Sitting on and riding the Honda was more comfortable and that more than any single factor puts the Honda at the top of my list so far..
