I have a '03 R6 and I love it. It fits me nicely even on an hour or so trip. I am 6'3, 220 and I can't complain with the way I feel after getting off.

I am a big fan of the YZF600. My first bike was (and still is) a 1983 Honda VT500-FT Ascot that my father gave to me. Then bought a 93 CBR600F3, but traded it because it did everything too well...no character. So I bought my dream bike...A 96 VMX1200 V-Max.
Back to topic, if I was to buy another sport bike, I would get the YZF600. I loved to ride the F3 in the mountains, but the trip to the mountains was awful. The YZF has a less agressive riding position, better than average suspension, and great real-world power.
I also love to work on this model, very mechanic friendly. Only thing that sucks is if you have to go into the tranny, you have to tear the top-end apart as well...so be kind to it!
