I love the 03 SE r6. IMO, badass stock paintjob.

As for the guy who has a question on the bikes. I dont own either, so I wont give u my opinion as if i do own one. I have an 02 cbr f4i, athough ive driven the gsxr and r6 SEVERAL times. IMO, if your taller or alittle bigger, the gsxr feels alittle too cramped up. On my friends '03, I always hit the fat part of the gas tank above the grooves. The R6 just corners so smoothly, it seems like I could flawlessy drop it to a knee around a corner like the bike would do all the work for me.

Id have to go with the r6. Yamaha has just been kick ass in all machine departments when it comes to producing fast, race inspired machines.

get the gsxr. get a 1000 if you have the money.

the gsxr sits a bit wider than other bikes...i'm a big boy (260lbs) it fits me best. i have a yellow and black one...i look like a circus bear fu#&*#g a bumble bee.

the only thing to remember is...go as big as money will let you. you'll want the bigger engine in the end.
