2013 Kawasaki ZX-6R vs. 2012 Suzuki GSX-R750 vs. 2012 Triumph Daytona 675R - Video

[Admin]

In 2011 we pitted the Ducati 848 EVO, Suzuki GSX-R750 and Triumph Daytona 675R against each other both on the track and street to find the king of the middleweight sportbike category. By the numbers, Suzuki's GSX-R750 emerged the winner in both arenas, but the Triumph tugged at our heartstrings throughout. Oddly, despite having the largest displacement, Ducati's 848 EVO simply couldn't hang with its Japanese and British competition.

When Kawasaki re-introduced the ZX-6R with its 636cc engine this year, suddenly the oddball middleweight sportbike wars are back on, and who better to wage this war than us? The natural competitor to the Kawi is the GSX-R750, the winner of this test in 2011. But we have such a soft spot for the Triumph Daytona 675R we decided to bring it along as well.

Kawasaki has made quite the statement with the newer ZX-6R!!

[Black Diamond Busa]

sorry but the 750 is still the middle weight king in my eyes.

[JFM GSXR 750]

Very good read, I would love to ride the new kawi and the 675r. I have ridden several 7 fiddies and love em. You can't go wrong any of these 3,
but I would still go with the 750.

[TOEJAM]

I would go with the 675R. Hands down.

With the 750 being my 2nd choice.

i went to the dealer to buy a 675R but instead bought the 750 last year. I got them down to $11k otd for the 675R but got my 750 for $9599 otd

All 3 are great choices, personally I go with the 750, love the power.

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!
