Yeah was going to say the same, I prefer the 675 but can get why some people don't get on with it. I ran a CBR600F for commuting and an R6 for thrashing on the road and track.? I'm getting a 675 to replace the R6 duties and another CBR600F for taking the Mrs out and touring etc Keep it rubber down and all that

Your personal choice then and I can respect it. I prefer the 600rr because I dont have 2 bikes for track and street, so I get the best of both worlds with it. I ride with someone with a 2010 675 and Ive had? a good amount of seat time in it, nice bike but just not for me. I put on 2000 kms a weekend on my bike so I need a machine that is comfortable. Anyway, enjoy your motorcycle, ride safe.

WSS performance is irrelevant for you and I because the bikes are tuned and altered massively. I've never seen a 675 with melting paint, so can't comment, the 675s gearbox is fine but the standard quickshifter is not great - I'd take it off anyway. Placement of the rear seat lock? Really? I can't think of a single detail that would influence my buying decision LESS than that! I can deal with vibrations, especially as the trade off is a huge amount of low down torque and an awesome? noise.

Let me clear something up - I don't think the CBR600RR is a tourer; it's a sports bike through? and through. However, thanks to it's smooth engine and relitively comfortable riding position it's a better option than the other 600s (and 675) if you want to do any sort of distance.

You're right about the GSX-R750, but the 848 is not in the "supersports" class either. Ducati have only homologated the old 748 in? World Supersport, never the 848. The only reason the 848 is compared with these bikes is that there's nothing directly comparible to it.
By: Mockle07. on 23 May 12, 08:05:07
Essentially, if you have 4cyl bikes at 600cc, tripples are allowed 675cc because they? have 1 cylendar less (an extra 75cc) and a twin is allowed an extra 75 cc over a tripple because it has yet one less cylindar.

The last time Ducati competed in World Supersport was 2007 with the 748. The 848 has never competed in World Supersport. Quote from the FIM rules for Supersport: "To be eligible for World Supersport, a motorcycle must have a four stroke engine of 400 to 600 cc for four cylinder machines, 500 and 675 cc for three cylinder engines and 600 and 750 cc for twins". The only reason the 848 is compared? to these bikes is relative performance and lack of anything directly comparible to the 848.

Ducatis are for? the most part hand made. They are also sexy. And sound bad ass. :D

| 600cc-$10k Yamaha vs 675cc-14k Triple vs 848cc-16k Ducati | Does? anyone else see something wrong with comparing theres bikes?
By: KalEl600rr. on 22 May 12, 20:23:47
that explains why what is basically an 07 design is still kicking ass in wss. You know, I hate it when people? think the cbr is some sort of touring machine. Its a supersport, not a busa. I love it because while its a track monster, its still probably the best street bike ever made. And if you call melting paint, notchy gear box, pure moronic placement of the back seat lock and so much vibration that it rattles the bones of the rider, character, well you can have all the character you want.

In AMA, WERA, and world supersport the 848 evo is in? the same class as the R6(gixxer 6er, cbr 600, zx6r) and the triumph 675. I believe the 2 cylinder V twins are allowed a maximum of 250 cc extra, the 3 cylinder i do not know. This just keeps the bikes competitive. For example the gsxr 750 is faster than the ducati 848 evo because it has 4 cylinders.
By: Mockle07. on 22 May 12, 16:22:02
You're right - 848 is not in the "supersports" class, used to be? when it was the 748
By: Mockle07. on 22 May 12, 16:20:57
Ducati is not in the "supersport" class any more. It used to be with the 748 but they were too expensive to make competetive and they didn't sell enough road bikes to justify the expense so they binned racing it and just made it a better road bike - hence the 848. The? only reason it's in this test is that it's similar money to the 675 and, well, what else are they going to compare it to?
By: Mockle07. on 22 May 12, 16:17:25
But? the CBR is slower and has no character in comparison (I used to have a CBR600RR - and loved it, not just trolling). The suspension in the 675 can be softened for road use and is like a magic carpet when done properly. The CBR is a more rounded bike but it's nowhere near as involving to ride, it just depends what you want in a bike... I'd rather do a long touring trip on a CBR I know that much, but for track days or a 2 hour weekend blat it'd be the 675 every time for me
By: KalEl600rr. on 22 May 12, 11:05:27
Plus just try? opening the rear pillion of the 675, its a fucking pain in the ass.
By: KalEl600rr. on 22 May 12, 11:04:40
My cbr 600 felt like a mercedes after? a ride on the triumph. Absolutely no vibration and the riding position is way better. power train is smooth as butter and the shifter is not a notchy affair like the 675 either.
By: daytonarider318. on 22 May 12, 03:07:29
Triumph has not made? a 600 since 2005 i believe.
By: daytonarider318. on 22 May 12, 03:05:15
Love my R. I was looking at the 848, and it is priced? cheaper than the 675R. I just love the feel and power of the R. Super steady torque curve and constant delivery of power all the way up the tach. Highly adjustable ohlins suspension, and great brembos up front. After ditching the OEM exhaust and putting a 2bros CF slip on to the rear, I dropped 14 lbs off the bike and am sitting at about 395 wet. LOVE THIS BIKE!
By: NoFukinNamesLeft. on 21 May 12, 22:04:15
I know but the 600,675 and 848 are in a similar power range? although all totally different types of engines.
By: crazyboy8875. on 21 May 12, 21:37:34
Buying a bike is a matter of emotions,if you buy one just because you heard it's the best you're going to have a surprize,so in stead of trying to convince me that the 848 is the new 600 go out there and ride yours,if? you've got one...
By: NoFukinNamesLeft. on 21 May 12, 20:07:52
Why a person would? buy one or the other, consumer testing
By: crazyboy8875. on 21 May 12, 19:18:35
When i'll see the 848 in WSS i'll erase my comment...untill then i'm? standing my grounds!!!
By: sportbikeuser767. on 21 May 12, 16:50:59
The reason they compared these bikes is that they are in the same "supersport" Racing class. Triumph has 3 cylinders, Yam has 4, Ducati has 2. In order to make it fair they allow extra cc for? the triumph and more for the ducati.

The R6....is comfortable? Nice power delivery? Not high? revving? Were you hot boxing your helmet on the ride or did the different air up a mountain screw with your brain?
By: crazyboy8875. on 15 May 12, 05:25:03
110 and 100 sound similar to you?the extra 10 hp makes? a BIG difference...so no you did not made your point !!!
