2010 Honda CBR600RR vs 2010 Suzuki GSX-R600

The CBR has a grown up, sophisticated design. The look is sinister but understated. Honda doesn't try too hard to differentiate the CBR from other Sport Bikes which keeps it looking good. The V-shape light above the air intake is just enough to keep it interesting.

The Gixxer features a cyclops headlight design that looks like it belongs on Japanese anime robots (see below). They had the look perfect back in 2004 but messed with perfection. The turn signals on the side mirrors don't look good at all either.
Something has got to be done about the CBR's paint job. The Gixxer keeps it tasteful with a good combination of colors and designs.
The CBR places the exhaust up and underneath the rear seat keeping both sides symmetrical in look and weight. Its by far the best look but can raise the center of gravity. The Gixxer throws on an enormous side exhaust on one side only. Overall, the CBR looks better with a slightly taller profile.
