What's sexier R6 or RSV?

The R6 is nice but the RSV has bags more character and instantly draws the eye as it's simply more charasmatic and interesting.

My mate has the very latest R6 and I have the latest RSV and I must say the R6 does look very cool and very aggressive and I think the RSV struggles a little bit to compete on those grounds as design has moved on alot in 4 years, just look at Aprilia's own RSV4. However the RSV is a handsomely brutal bike and the R6 can't compete on that front and once again the RSV simply has much more personality. It's like brining a knife (R6) to a gun (RSV) fight. :doug
 
When I was buying a new bike, I wanted to buy the R6, 03 model (the same as in the picture). Then one day I went to check out one mille, just for fun.

Love at first site :inlove

R6 is nice, but mille is a real bike, so now im here... :D
 
i love the R range from yamaha,specialy r1,itll always have a place in my heart as my 1st bike when i passed my test and having 3 of em,but way to small for my girth now.
rsv for me anyway.they can be a bit marmite to some,but i love the look of the older mille.
love the brawny looks,same as the old foxeye blade,look like amean,moody bruiser of a bike,and as a bike SHOULD look imo,not a 1kg skinny piss farting thing as they all seem to be nowadays.
 
I love the look of the skinny piss fart bikes, but the reality is I aint never gonna be comfy on one so I aint buying one lol!
 
funny you should say that,cos i went to view an 05 R1 yesterday,and that too felt at least as roomy as the mille,if not more so??!! weird.
i was expecting massive discomfort,high awkward pegs,cramped position and very uncomfortable.hmmmmm
 
The R1 is a very comfy bike, I would say of all the current litre bikes its the most comfortable. In comparrison I sat on an R1200GS today and got a nose bleed and needed oxygen.
 
Japanese bikes have widther tanks, so they do fell quite comfortable when you sit on them.

But when your riding for some time narrower tank is better.
