Which bike should I buy? Cbr or r6?

I'm shopping for an upgrade from a suzuki gs500f I just sold. I'm in the market for a sportbike for spirited weekend rides on twisty back roads and maybe some long distance rides as well. I have a deal lined up for a '00 cbr929rr but I have till the weekend to go through with it. My thinking was the honda is fuel injected, reliable, relatively comfortable compared to other bikes of similar sizes (within my price range). Originally I wanted an r6 but the more I read about them the less appealing they sound, reliability and day to day riding wise. The honda is much more rare for where I live, but if I decided to I have a couple r6 deals waiting in the wings for basically the same price. However my concern with the honda is just it's size, I'm an average sized guy but the honda just seems so wide and heavy, bear in mind my only basis for comparison was my little suzuki and before that a 250cc cruiser. I wasn't able to test ride the honda when I looked at it, but I did sit on it, my feet can almost touch the ground flat but not quite which is off putting. Anyways I suppose my question is does anybody have any advice on which to choose? Another model maybe? I'd hate to go with a 600 and just be shopping for something bigger in a season or two but I also don't want something I'll be fumbling to keep upright every time I come to a stop light.
Thank you all for any input you can give me and taking the time to read this!

Considering your situation cbr seems to be the better option for you. If you doesn't like anything, you should not opt for that.

Have you ridden the CBR929RR? Or any super sport for that matter? They are not comfortable. Every single person I know who has one, loves it for the power, hates it for anything longer than about 20min of riding.

If you want more power, go for like the CB1000 or Ninja 1000. They have more power than the super sports, have a comfortable stance, cheaper, cheaper insurance, and better in almost every category.

The only category they "lose" in per say is the relative displacement versus power. So the 600cc supers have about 110-120bhp, whereas the CB1000/Ninja1000 take 1000cc and put out around 130-140bhp.

If you are hell bent on being uncomfortable, and being a cliche, I would say go for the CBR, they seem to hold up better than the Yamaha bikes, but that is just my opinion.

Best a man can get bike CBR

Neither of your picks are that great for everyday street-riding and 'long trips'?! Good luck or good backbone.
Unless you plan on either some track-time or riding like a manic on the street there are better bikes to choose from, any of the V-twin 650s would be better for street riding.

Added- For a compromise between the two look at the Triumph Street Triple, fun bike.

Going from a 250 to a 600 is a big enough jump. A lot of people I know stick with the 600 (sportsbike) for years. But if your confident and know you can do it, I always hear better things about Honda
