  • two freaking nubs...time wasters

  • All down to personal preference.

  • Bit hard to compare these bikes. 1 is a Pretty much a Race Bike for the Road the other a Sports Tourer.

    Both Beautiful Bike non the less.

  • compare the hyosung gt650r with the gsx650f, even the the hyo has clip ons instead of a handle bar these are still direct competitors.

  • if someone gave me a free gsx650f i'd sell it straight away and get the r6!! DUR!!!

  • Fuck me I wish my town commute was like that...

  • long ad

    

  • *The R6 has rock-hard suspension and blabla*... now I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the R6 has fully adjustable suspension... so what the hell is he talking about?

  • Wow. And the 650f has the championship wins in SBK also, right? Real world my ass.

  • I do not live in England, therefore wet is not real world conditions.

  • What a waste of time. Next time lets compare a 250 dual sport with a harley sportster. Which is better? idiots lol

  • @420FlyByNight Is it the Harley ?

  • Yea but the r6 is more stylish, no girl wants a 650f. its like the zx6r compared to the 650r

  • isnt it dangerous riding in rain?

  • @driftx2 They run SBK races in rain, yes and no.

  • It's like comparing Fiona (shrek's wife) against Jessica Alba. R6 all the way. No competition.

  • You guys look like a couple of goobers on motorcycles.

  • i sat on a GSXR 600 and R6, the R6 felt amazing and didnt feel too heavy, the only thing ive heard that is kinda bad is the throttle takes a little getting used to.. is it really that difficult to ride?

  • lol its always raining in England! Fuck that

  • I own a 2007 R6. i didnt buy it because it was gonna be a nice town bike,... who buys a Yamaha R6 go slow on ?

    Next time you want to compare motorcycles try to make them the same class of bike, its a bit like comparing a porche to a family wagon and saying the wagon is an easier car to drive around town.

  • @adamhaggas

    Exactly.

  • so basically the R6 is the better bike as its quicker and better through corners period. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Did anyone else see the tumbleweeds in the background?

  • What the hell is this ? Im 17 years old and I ride my 08 R6 everyday to school. This random prick cant even ride and then he tells R6 is hard and advanced. Dumbest video ever. Stupid fucking guy in video.

  • @cryteeek Ahh to be 17 again, when you think you know every F**king thing. I wonder why Motorcycle news didn't call you to do their test ride instead of that F**king guy.

  • WTF is went wth d guy ....

  • Why the heck would you even compare an GSX650F with an R6? The GSX650F is a total sporttourer while the R6 is a supersport...

  • what world is this fucker from?

  • @smcgrath14 That F**ker is from Ireland.

  • nice chops

    

  • In the real world the person on the R6 is taking the pussy home, uhhh unless someone's there with a zx-10!

  • I couldn't take this video seriously. Apparently, I am not in the real world!

  • In the real world, I'd be driving my grandma wagon in shit conditions, in the real world, I'd be using the R6 on nice days and having fun.

    I don't understand why a lot of magazine peeps give the R6 garbage reviews saying it's only ment for track, if that is the case, then any sports cars and bikes should have the same fucking treatment. When you get a fast vehicle, you get it on performance not practicality, I sometimes question if these legit reviewers are true to their words.

  • @HypermaxZ Truth is most R6 riders are just riding around town or maybe on some twisty back roads, and honestly the R6 is a pretty shitty bike for that. It makes no torque down low and the ergos are nuts. But people ride it because their friends ride it and it looks cool and they don't know there are other options. I'm all for vids that give people pause to think about what kind of riding they're really doing and what kinds of bikes are best suited to that.

  • @aluisious I guess if you put it like that. And now that actually gave me some clarity on why a lot of people that review super sport bikes do so as such. But I still say if you treat the bike to track days like it was built for, you get the most out of it, and for me, that's the reason why I still think the R6 can still hold it's own, even though all the other makers caught up and even surpassed the bike.

  • @aluisious

    It's not about what you are saying.

    It's about the total image... looks, sound, your mind, handling, speed if you like to accelerate on straight roads and so on.

    >SOME< people rides the R1 to be cool and because it has a reputation to people who dont even know which handle is the clutch... i'm NOT saying all R1 drivers are like that.

    The R6 is just a wonderful bike in many ways.

  • wtf is he on about real world??

  • Lol, "but to brighten this oop"

  • you can get fucked ..... hippy lookin mutha fucka !!!!

  • @Georgedrewett LOLLLLLOLOL

  • Who actually buys an R6 to ride around a wet kart track? Do the same test at silverstone in the wet and see which is the better bike.

  • Stay out of Bruntingthorp in November.

  • Y'all are some straight ugly ass Brits. Is this why you choose ride even in the rain? So you can keep the helmet on?

  • @ATXmags we ride in the rain because we are not scared to

  • Looking at those bikes side by side is like putting Marissa Miller next to joan rivers...the r6 is pure sex on wheels.

  • I'm confused as to how this guy has the authority to make a video like this, seeing how he was braking through corners and spotty with throttle control... clearly not an experienced rider

  • Aaaahahahahahaha he's ginger

  • in the real world you would be watching something better than this

  • i whant to be faster not confortable LOL also R6 looks really cool GSX not that much

  • has fernando alonso grown his hair long?

  • can i live in my dream world with SIZUKI GSX-R 600cc?!

  • I've just wasted 2.42 of my life, damn you

  • In the real world, Im still buying an R6 with im done with my CBR250RR

  • Não entendi porra nenhuma!

  • it doesn't matter what they said i prefer the R6 above all..........

  • in the real world the r6 gets you laid.

  • Some questions:

    Why did they pick a soaking wet day to compare two sports bikes?

    Why simulate riding around town?! Why not just ride around town??

    Why compare a loony track bike to a sports tourer?

    Who over the age of 12 could not have predicted the outcome of this comparison???

  • in the real world the 650 is way too ugly

  • Quasimoto ???

  • eres un borrego, ya te molaría tener la r6 en vez de la suzuki

  • These guy's can't review shit.

  • Why testing on a rc cars track?

  • These guys are a couple clowns. Nice thinking doing a comparison of bikes in the rain when you are just putting around with both of them. If you actually get on it the R6 would leave that Suzuki in the dust. If anyone thinks for a second that the two bikes are close in performance you are crazy!

  • @adrenalineboyzryan

    2 cylinders vs. 4

    lmao why would anyone compare the two...-_-;

  • @jbrandona119 Both bikes are Fours.

  • @jbrandona119 er they are both strait 4s, parrallel twins are few in number now.

  • GSXF has 4 cylinders.

  • Comment removed

  • after what they have said in this video i still will not part with my r6

  • bike test --- rain --- idiot

  • good thing i dont live in the real world

  • @kong2cat lol i live in my own kingdom where British people are comprehendable.

  • yeah ur right! but i still love the looks of the r6! the sexiest bike of all time. its not the most comfortable bike,of course coz its a race bike..however compared to ducati,no doubt of the r6 had the upper hand.

  • I can't make up my mind, next time I want a comparison during a hailstorm...

  • @esteban1987 LOL

  • who decides to ride in the rain anyway

  • @brazzr people who love to ride...

  • @dragonsofdeath yea, nahh

  • WHAT!! the purpose built sports bike out performs the sports cruiser in every way but the sports cruiser is more practical and cheaper?!?! my mind is blown....

  • In the real world as opposed to the fake or imitation world?

  • @fallwellnowinhell as opposed to a closed course, or dyno

  • Like the look of the wrong side of the road do you?

  • WTF ! dissappointing video guys .. thought i would learn something new :s

  • They must be pair of bakers, not motards, wtf are the saying? susie better than R6? damn..

  • Hey beautiful bike. Anyway I'm getting a sport bike next week, at a moto auction. List tells me they got an 07 with 1!!! mile. Is this bike fast as hell, I'm about 6'4" and run about 200 pounds. Would this sucker be fast as hell with me on it. They also got R1's on the docket. Any help would be appreciated THANKS

  • @thegreatseal1991 I am about 5 10, but 200 lbs. The R6 has plenty of poke for you, and is fairly tall for a 600. I would say maybe you will look big and tall, but the speed is there.

  • @UnseenSpirit Hey Thanks!! The auction was today and I have to say I came out pretty well. I bought a 2008 Kawasaki ZX10R, with ONE mile on it, for 6100 bucks. So I'm happy haha. 

  • @thegreatseal1991 Oh a Green machine? Kwaka bikes are great, I have a 2003 636 and it is pretty fast in straight lines. Ninja's have a rep of being a lil crazy, maybe because they are not perfect, but fun.

    You from the US? I am from the UK so not sure how these auctions work, but that is a cheap price!

  • @UnseenSpirit Thanks, It's a real beauty. Yeah You should see these auctions, bikes go for pennies on the dollar. Guys from Europe and the UK will come to the States to buy Harley's and sell the over there and make a hell of a profit. I hear Harley's are in demand over there. I hear the Litre bikes are wicked haha

  • Fuck Suzuki I love the r6. Jus learn how to ride

  • @wallinmyhouse With a comment like that, i doubt you know how.

  • r6 sucks.although has a brilliant engine;for 6 years it still has that stupid looks.gsx looks better;definitely not like a moped.

    By the way,in TR finding yamaha parts has became a major problem lately.İs it the same in Europe?

  • @emriaco what sucks about the r6? and what do you ride?

  • @hawaiiangoat

    1-I told you;the looks.

    2-K6.Besides your mom

  • The Suzuki looks good from behind but the front looks a little to blunt, kinda like a parrots beak

  • DAM that suzuki is ugaly imma go with the R6 the best looking bike in the world 08 model

  • i would buy the gsx if it didnt look like a fuckin moped!!

  • I was really hoping this video would actually tell me something I didn't know :/

  • england idiots,havent u heard about hairstyler

  • if the r6 is too much of a sport bike for someone then that person probably shouldn't be riding motorcycles at all...

  • R6> CBR600RR> GSXR600> ZX6-R> FZ6> GSX650F

    Ya the R6 is LEAGUES ahead of that POS suzuki... street or track

  • @JPDeal2006 Daytona 675 > All of what you just said :)

  • @QSideProductions True...

  • Other than the Hayabusa and THE Escudo, suzuki SuCKs MoNkEy BaLLs

  • Id rather get a GSXR 600..Looks better and similar performance to R6..

  • SUCKS 650 R6 RULZZ !!!!

  • I`ve seen off, Loads of plastic fantastics, On A and B roads with my old Kawasaki gt550! It`s simple really, I ride all year round, In all weathers, and have got to know my bike and the local roads very well! Compare that, To say? somebody who`s riding a status symbol, And who only rides on the best days of the year! I know it must be tempting to buy a superbike as soon as you pass your test, But buy based, On your ability and experience! Not your wallet or ego!

  • nice

  • why do europeans always test ride shit in the rain??

  • @sipperothouwater cos it's only sunny in england for 3 weeks per year

  • @sipperothouwater England is just part of Europe

  • dumb ass fag shave the pubes on ur face and grow a pair and ride a real bike. R6 is out of the suzuki's league!

  • @ktduby3

    Shut the fuck up faggot, anyone who rides a supersport for a street bike is just someone with an insecurity issue. Supersports aren't even comfortable street bikes. The R6 is for the track, the GSX is for the rider without an ego. Like yourself.

  • @ConstrictedTruth without an ego? do you now what are you talking about? i think you don't understand motorcyclism is not only a fuckin track...

  • @ConstrictedTruth my r6 is pretty comfy on the street... just saying

  • The R6 owns the corners for someone who actually knows how to take advantage of the bike.

  • you see cleary the r6 is more close to the line in the corners, at mostly the same speed... the gsx seems heavier than the r6 too...

  • Why don't this idiot compare the R6 with a supermoto on the dirt too...

  • @xyzyxzxyzx LOL good point. You cant really compare a standard to a super sport. different riding styles fit different levels of riding experience. you cant compare the tools when the tools are for different levels of craftsman experience.

  • oh really ? we have one the best examples here on the isle of oahu show me better proof the my own review ...... r6 cant seem to get out of 2nd , no torque in a turn know your facts . now if you want to talk about straight ways yes sure ok ill give you that but what track and or city is designed that way , thanks for trying to make me look bad tool box ,

  • lol the gsx650 beats r6 in real day to day bike , and it the lowest inline four they offer , now before you yamaha lovers need to go change your hearing aid i said inline 4 not to mention our 650sv that could out pull you in any corner , its ok dont cry at least they didnt compare the gsxr that would scare a ego ! maybe some of you should teach some of your so called die hard yamaha wanna be bad on the high way but end up getting schooled by a bandit lmao ,if over 650cc then no need to comment

  • @nathanmolisani Ok first off a 650sv isnt going to pull away from an R6 in a corner...dont be cocky...and compared to a GSXR...the only "600" cc bikes that compare to an R6 trackwise are ones with larger engines...i.e...the 636 Ninja...and the GSX-R750

  • ugly as shit! Looks real cheap also. Get ya pay for.

  • Es wird eine Supersportler Maschine ( Yamaha ) mit nem Sporttourer verglichen... Der richtige Vergleich wäre die GSXR gewesen

    

  • still r6 king of the road

  • Maybe it was difficult for him to ride because he was more body steering than counter steering? He looked awkward riding on both bikes...

  • Yuck. That 650F is awful looking. I ride a 2008 R6, my starter bike, and it is not hard to ride at all. I'm about 5'8'' and 140 lbs. I feel the bike is perfect for me. Just my .02. I'd buy a R6 over a 650F any day. Yamaha FTW.

  • what is suzuki doing with there lives that is the ugliest thing ive ever seen

  • Thanks for being honest,dudes did a good job of telling it like it is.

  • Die Engländer sind so Scheiße......Wieso?.......Test­et man.....ein Motorrad bei Regen! Wollt ihr mich verarschen, reden von excellenten steuerverhalten und was weiss ich und Fahren mit 20 durch nasse Kurven. Alta die Inselaffen ne....

  • If I won a brand new GSX650F in a raffle I'd sell it , buy a two year old R6 and a new ARAI nicky RX7

  • the hangoff at 0:58 is a joke

  • amateurs....

  • a very unsatsfactionary test. two guys riding in the rain on a kart-course and tell their subjective feelings of the bikes. hm, thumb down, sry.

  • The host looks strangely unnatural when riding a bike

  • Man... is it always rain in UK???

  • gay

  • yet another monstrosity from biujuki

  • no thanks

  • You wanna talk about ugly look at the host.

  • Hear that R6 from 1:54 to 2:03 !! Sound like a freakin plane turbine!! lool but clearly out of the two, I'd defo take the R6, even in the real world.

  • Suzuki is ugly compared to the R6 not to mention these guys seem like they are scared of the bikes... i mean r u high? sayin the suzuki is a better bike to ride? ive rode in the rain on my R6 and dip lower around turns than these females...

    smh

  • Now when he says the r6 is harder to ride? what is he talking about?

  • have these guys never rode in the rain before? what was with riding the bike damn near straight up around a turn? people get their knees down in the rain with pilot power tires. those are VERY common. also, did they even take tire type into comparison?

  • WTF - where is GSX-R ???

  • fuckin stupid bikes to compare. mcn riders are hallarious, i could thrash them anytime anywere, any bike. thats my review of your review you gimps

  • Where they get this guy? They cant be paying him more than 3 $ per "review". I get more information in the owners manual..And whats with the 12 mph leaning off 5 degree angle..What a joke.

  • r6 for the win i dont need comfort when i go on long journeys i just go faster and it makes them shorter no need for tourers haha

  • as if 650 nice am only 16 but have riden r6 on track and only hard to ride if crap driver. dont mean to insult, but honest look at r6 its every boys dram of motorbike there is one in local garage near me in lake district in red its gorgeous the 650 looks sh#t

  • In the real world if ya want to look like a twat ride the 650....

  • tbf if u pull up somwear nd u have the suzuki u might get 1 person sayin nice bike but if u have the r6 ul pull up with the biggest grin on ur face nd about 10people sayin nice bike m8

  • I remind you idiots that Suzuki has produced the first motorcycle in excess of 180 miles per hour.

    - Suzuki Hayabusa.

  • suzukis are ugly against the yamaha´s

  • yamahas are very pretty. suzuki´s not^^

  • Suzuki should have made a 750 street fighter instead.

  • all you idiots hating on this review probably didn't even listen to the review. Did you put it on mute? they both said that the R6 would own on the track. But for communting and cruising around town, the 650 is more comfortable. The title should have been "is the GSX650F more comfortable around town vs the R6?".

  • @MuayThaiMMAjunkie commuting***

  • r6 anytime all the time.

  • so i'm not the only one who rides like a cager when its wet :p

  • I think I'll keep my r6, suzukis seem nice but I've been a fan of yamaha since my first 250 dual sport, if only yamaha had a 250 cc sport bike :(

  • @Sleepinglion22 i couldnt agree with you more..

  • Its kinda wet too so you cant really ride to the best the bikes can go.. oh well.

  • @DSJeffers good thing you watched the video, that was point.

  • fix that light?

  • @hen555 ... know what your talking about before you make a comment.. ONE light is low beam.. both lights is high beam......................

  • @thundermage83 oh thanks, yea i realized after that it cudnt just be a coincidence that alot of motorcycle videos only have 1 operating light.

    But still I think it looks bad with only 1 light for low beam i mean dont you? any bikes with 2 pairs of lights (1 pair for low beam?)

  • @thundermage83 Learn the difference between your and you're before you comment.

  • what a gimp swing, if your as shit at riding as he is then it would be easier on the gsx650f, but personally any bike is good round town if ya can ride, and like he said the r6 has bettter power and brakes, making it less effort for the rider to control. fucking grow a pair.....

  • that suzuki is ugly..

  • that was a pointless video. Shitheap vs Supersport. Real World wtf? I ride a F41000S rain, hail or shine in the 'real world' what shall we compare that too lol. If you have enough riding experience and know what your doing you will take a full blown sportsbike of an cc and take on any sports tourer any day of the year no matter what the conditions!

  • klr250

  • keep your r6 man, suzuki is nice, but r6 looks seriously more agressive, but we most not forget that they are showing us one cheapper option.... but anyway for me r6 is better

  • I'm betting the R6 owner is going to keep his R6....

  • I just bought this bike and no way is it ugly idiots

  • Why are they comparing an A to B 650 with a 600 super... why not get a gsxr600? Which is clearly the logically comparison..

  • @ProbablyCoolerThanU

    Exactly !!!!

    I would still go with the R6.

  • you bitches goes slow, i taked my turn faster with my camino you fags

  • how many times does he say, "in the real world"?
