For 2003, which middleweight sportsbike?
 

Hi! This poll was left incomplete....SO which bike do you like for 2003 in~600 cc category?

I love the YZF-R6 for it's "Gatling Gun" headlamps as well as that insanely cool swingarm. But then the kwacker is a very well rounded package as well. Suzuki's are bland(IMHO), and Honda is Honda....

I like the 2003 Suzuki Bandit, I know it's not a 'real' sportbike, but it has a lot of power for it's class. It's got a long, smooth powerband(unlike the R6) and it's stable at most sane speeds.

Indeed. The bandit is what you'd call an everyday bike. The sportbikes mentioned here are all peaky and you have to keep the motor revving at 8000+ RPM for real action.

I have a zx6, but it is older.
The R6 is good as long as you do not have far to go.

Or if you live right next to a race track!

How bout the Triumph TT600? Looks like a real contender.
