Can the GSX650F beat the R6

Suzuki's new GSX650F is a great all-rounder, temptingly cheap and has enough pizazz to make a fun, useable sports bike - but is it good enough to tempt an R6 owner to change bikes?

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???

Get GSX650F if you're an old fart, afraid of losing your false teeth driving R6.

I won't be trading in my R6 for anything but a newer R6 or R1 =D

I started off on a zx7

I do like the vid though!

What..... these bikes are made for completely different purposes! This is a stupid comparison!

All down to personal preference.

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!!!
