2012 vs 2013 CBR600R Ergos -- Which one is more aggressive/has the most forward lean?

Just a quick question in case anyone where has tried both and knows the answer -- Between the outgoing model CBR600RR and the new 2013 redesign, which has the least aggressive riding position? According to cycle-ergo.com it's the 2013, but I've heard from a number of people that's actually not the case, although the numbers are bloody close on both of them.

Also after trying a 2013, it did seem more aggressive than any other 600RR I sat on, but then it was the only one I've ever actually rode.

Thanks in advance (and fyi, I'm 5'8 with only a 29-30" inseam)

Bike is for street so that review doesn't matter too much for me. More important is reliability and ABS, at least to me. I did want to like the new ZX6R but it's just too uncomfortable for me (I almost have to press myself into the tank).

The R6 is the most aggressive Japanese 600...

Also, this isnt twitter... Hashtags do not work here

As for the 2013 vs 2012, I found the 2013 to be more comfortable than the 2012 (but still uncomfortable for me because I'm tall and my legs are too long for the tiny cbr). OP why don't you just go to a dealer that has some un-sold 2012 and a 2013 and try for yourself?

I didn't mean it was less aggressive than the CBR, just if the choice is between 2012 CBR or 2013 CBR the answer is R6

At this site you can pick several bikes and compare back and forth..looks to me like the new bike has less forward lean but more degree of knee bend.

Surprise, surprise. The yamaha owners, @yammyr6 and @bleed_blue pick, you guessed it, Yamaha! If I was buying in this class I'd be all over that new MV. Great looks, great performance, first year for the model. Just real cool on all levels.
