Trying to find the info on the net without much luck. Would like 0-60, 0-100 and top speed.

Cheers

The 636 would probably be the fastest due to its' capacity advantage but in the real world it would depend mainly on rider ability.

In one of MCNs articles a few years ago they did a 600 shootout down the quarter mile. What suprised everyone was that the CBR posted the quickest time with the ZX6 coming in last behind the R6 and GSXR.

I think when you hit the twisty bits the R6 and GSXR would come in to their own.

They are all similar enough for it not to matter, the 636 kwak will be quicker on the road in normal conditions because of the extra midrange grunt but flat out, no significant difference

They are all much of a muchness although the 636 will have the edge. It is a fantastic bike as a package and hugley fast for a litte 636cc bike.

But, in terms of speed in real world terms, the difference between all of these bikes boils down to the skill of the rider.

On a track day, a good rider on a 400 can beat an average rider on an R1.

The difference between these bikes is a matter of a few percent whereas the difference in skills between riders is huge. In terms of track time well over 50%.

Depends on which bike has the best rider on it! New Sportsbikes are as good as one another unless your name is Whitham etc!

Really like the look of the Triumph, but the last i heard and i might be mistaken now is that there is/was a long waiting list and i have always liked the CBR600RR, but you are right from a figures point of views i should have added the Triumph..
