Not yet. He had one on the 04 but sold it when he sold the bike (not knowing he would end up with an 05 now).

i know the bike in question is the limited edition zx6-rr but is there a weight difference between it and the bigger bore model?

Per Kawasaki's website specs, no there is no weight difference between 600 and 636. But we shouldn't be discussing a 6 year old bike. I was simply trying to say that numbers some times don't matter, that it is about how it is dispersed.

Nobody is going to know for sure unless they took the weight of all the parts, as well as their size and their distance from the bike's roll center, and made all the necessary calculations.

This sounds WAY too complicated :lol:

Fair enough. I'm sure you already do but tell him to be careful. I'm in the same boat: known shakey bike without a damper. I want a gpr...one of these days

He knows to be careful (former racer). He will want another Ohlins and it will cost a pretty penny.
