ummmmmm, my 954 had 139 to the wheel, the mags are saying the new 1000rr is gonna have more power than the current gsxr1000 which has 148hp to the rear wheel, so figure they're saying the new 1000 will have 150 to the wheel. the current R6 only has 102hp to the rear wheel, like most current 600's, and only 44 torque.
figure torque is what makes it easier to lift the front, so again, it's not faster and it's definately not easier to stunt, with that little torque you have to really pop the clutch and or rev it out to do power tricks.
R6 - 11.838sec 117.405mph
cbr600rr -
Power 103.5hp@13,500 rpm
Torque 44.6 ft.lbs.@10,900rpm

since the 1000rr ain't out yet, but we'll all assume that it's faster than the 954, here's the "slower" stats of the 954...
dyno 130hp and 68 torque, mine had a chip and exhaust and dyno'd 138.9hp to the wheel. and the same dyno has the gsx1000 at 147.5hp and 78 torque, that's what the new 1000rr is supposed to out power.
gsxr1000 - 9.95 @ 143.69
cbr954 - 10.32 @ 138.12
R1 - 10.32 @ 137.60

not sure what all this 1000 stuff has to do with anything, since we are comparing 600s. we all know that a 1000 will own any 600. anyway, back to the whole point here.
i would say all those stats on 600s are virtually useless. every magazine has different #s. some rate the dyno #s for 600rr better and some rate the r6 better. so i would guess that they are prety damn close. now what a lot of people dont seem to understand or know about. is that even if the 600rr had 20 more horse. the bike would still not walk as well as the r6. it has a new swingarm, that is designed to drop as soon as the throttle is cracked. this makes the 600rr virtually impossible to walk unless u pop the clutch. but the r6, can walk without clutch all the way from first to third. like i said before. there is no other 600 ive seen that can do this. and if anyone doesnt believe me. you r quite welcome to come to fort mcmurray next summer and watch me do it. i will have some video next summer, so maybe ill post that then. regardless of what some of u may think, im not playin up this bike just because i own one. i bought it because it is so great. personally i dont care what u buy. i was simply trying to help u make an educated decision. if u r into tricks u will not like the 600rr. hell, even the kawasaki 636 would be better. but the best one i have riden is the r6.
