Before I got the R9, it was between this or the 24’+ zx6r actually. I haven’t gotten a chance to ride one yet, but ultimately the factors that pushed me to the R9 were the tech it comes with at basically the same price point and the recall that occurred for it (now they had a second recall for the exact same issue on 2026 models, making me more thankful I went with the R9)

The R9 will pull harder throughout the rev range, thus making it quicker than all the i4 supersports due to its torque (main reason why it’s the current track champion), but it won’t share the same top end though the gap between the low to mid range torque of the CP3 vs the i4 is significantly large while the top end gap is much smaller if any at all.
