Went and had a sit on the new CBR600RR demonstrator today at my local dealers. Certainley felt light and flickable although I wasn't quite sure of the seat. It didn't feel all that comfortable but I was wearing jeans and not leathers. The riding position felt pretty similar to my NC30 so should be allright. It certainley looks the dogs though.
I'll book a test drive when the weather improves a bit and the demonstrator's got a few more miles on the clock.

Its supposed to be more 'track focused' that previous models so probably accounts for the lack of comfort and the lightness of it.
Go have a play on one, but be prepared to be heartbroken when you have to hand it back!

I've test ridden lots of bikes Wolfie but I can never justify the cost of a new plaything (as the wifes about to spend £35K on a car). I have ridden all sorts and it's good fun, saves racking up miles on my own bikes as well.
A couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon on a new bike with a full tank of petrol, who could ask for more.

I couldn't wait to hand the keys back on mine!!(lasted 4 months before that!) You need to be under 5 ft 8 inches to ride one comfortably!!
I agree they are superb on performance and handleing!..not good for my back though!!!

Even from a pillion point of view, this bike is the dogs, insane handling, Phil nearly got his knee down with me on, let alone on his own, just hold on tight girls when they brake, as u'll be flung over the top if u don't. Extremely responsive braking as well. It is an awesome bike.
