How rivals compare

same type, similar capacity, high test volume

On first-time pass rate the DAYTONA 600 beats 4 of its 4 closest rivals (HONDA CBR600F, YAMAHA YZF-R6, SUZUKI GSXR600).

Rivals share this bike's type and sit within ±30% of its engine capacity, ≥ 5,000 tests. Card colour = better/worse first-time pass rate than the DAYTONA 600.

Pass rate by registration year

how each model-year cohort fares · registration year from first use date

Best year to buy used: 2004 (84.9% pass). Weakest: 2003 (83.5%).
