G'day friends!
Looking to upgrade my motorcycle and debating between the CBR600RR and CBR600F.
Mostly be using it around town + twisties on weekends and maybe some touring. This suggests the 600F but would love opinions of folk.

Thanks!

Tricky. The F stopped production a number of years ago, I think…? RR still going or at least to last year so newer tech. Probably more after-market accessories for the touring.
I’d say go sit on them both and choose what suits YOUR body. We choose bikes with the heart, not the head — but best to want the bike that best suits not the idea but you and your purposes.

Yeah I found a decently priced F from 2008.

Thanks for the suggestion, will swing by leg over both

Have not ridden a 600F, but did a few hours on a 500f. Really good bike, more than enough motor for about any use. I put a co-worker on a 500x and he still has it.

The RR is going to be a different beast. Agree that a recent gen r6 is going to have better electronics as the CBR hasn’t seen much in updates.

For context I owned a Ninja300 and a K1300S at the same time. Both with heated grips. One for the city commute, one for riding from NYC to LA when I get bored.

What are you riding now?

Lots of core work to prep for a trip like that. It was worth it!!!

I had two 08’ cbr600rr’s. One for the track and one for the street. Phenomenal machines. Wouldn’t want to tour on one though 🤣.

Thought I responded to this … you can totally do 8 hours. I would do mountain runs from Charlotte to the Blue Ridge Parkway which were probably 6-8 hour days. I was usually pretty beat at the end of them. Getting a touring windscreen for my CBR helped a lot

Assuming that the conversations & topics will stay the same, What are you thoughts on keeping this bowl solely for black in big law verses Opening this bowl to any black lawyer?

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
