Hey budd, I have had both bikes and they are great for differen tthings. I loved th eGSXR for it strong frame and it just feels more stable and poised to th eground. I have had my R6 for 1 year now and I bought it new. I do weelies and stoppies and crazy shit like that and the R6 was easier to do tricks but I broke a whole bunch of little shit inside which cost me 2K. If you want dayu to day driving with no crazy shit buy th eR6. If you wanna have fun by the GSXR.
