Hmmm I believe TS shouldn't have worries about that, as I go through those popular specs of CBR, ZX-6R and YZF-R6 they are pretty light weight (better equipping, lighter materials, improved aerodynamic, streamlined design). Comparing them to those model around the early 2000 their predecessor are more bulky and heavy.

 

You should head down to Looi's motor, have a feel of the bike... @ their show-room (*note most display unit are latest model)

In term of maintenance, maybe you want to study the price of the parts. Just ask around some workshops and those parts shop to check. If the parts of a certain brand of your choice are hard to get, then you may want to reconsider your choice. Also, you may want to think of the resale value of the bike. Last but not least, try to go to a few shops to check out their price for the bike of your choice.

[Jehuty]

Middleweight sports-

Suzuki GSXR 750

Ducati 848

Daytona 675

Yamaha R6

Kawasaki ZX6r

Honda CBR600

 

I heard Suzuki GSXR 750 is the best of both worlds.

You want power go for a 750 . You want less weight get the new gsxr 600. If not get a honda for reliability and handling

[kok]

If you want the narrowest bike get a daytona because of its inline 3 configuration
