2008 600cc Shootout

AMCN ran their 600cc shootout this month and some surprising results were delivered, the Honda CBR600RR finished in 4th place, yes that is 4th place on both street and track!

1st Overall – Suzuki GSXR-600 2nd on track / 2nd on road
2nd Yamaha YZF-R6 1st on track 5th on road
3rd Triumph Daytona 675 3rd on track 1st on road
4th Honda CBR600RR – 4th on track 4th on road
5th Kawasaki ZX-6R 5th on track 5th on road

I guess this is why you can’t put much stock in magazine shootouts hey! Maybe they throw a dart at a board to determine the winners or maybe it is based on who has the biggest advertising budget for a given month – whatever! The modern 600cc machines are so close these days that they are all good value for money. Even a 3 or 4 year old 600 is still a great option.
