If straight-line speed is your priority, the R9 takes the lead. With 6 HP more than the CBR600RR, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the CBR600RR has a clear advantage. Weighing in 5kg less than the R9, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the cbr600rr if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the r9 if you want the alternative brand character.
