Cant decide which one to buy... a CBR or a Ninja 650, anyone have either of them that can vouch for their performance/reliability?

I have a CBR 600RR and I absolutley LOVE IT. Granite, it was/ is my first bike. But ive never had a problem with it.

Thanks guys, I've noticed too the CBRs are more expensive than the Ninja 650s, but you gotta think what your getting here, Hondas are known for their reliability. Haven't heard anything bad yet, might swing the Honda way.

The 07/08 CBRs are alot more expensive than my 06 was. Ive been very happy with it.

+1. The few people i know that have bought them as starter bikes, didnt keep them long because they didnt like them.

the ninja is my favorite bike. i dont like the hondas. i dont like the way they feel for respond. the way you sit. its all to strange to me. in my mind the new ninja zx6r is the best 600cc bike you can buy right now. and comparing the ninja 650 to a crb600rr is like comparing a mustang to a geo. the 650 is a starter bike only. not a track bike. you would need to compare the zx6r to the cbr600rr and having rode both several times, i would pick the zx6r hands down. dont get me wrong, the cbr is a great bike, i just like the ninja better.
