Anyone rode a 2009/2010 ZX6R?

If you're going this route, I'd actually recommend an 07+ 600/750 full of parts. The 04/05 generation isn't too up to par with cool things from the factory like slipper clutch's and power... And comfort. But hey it's all personal preference.

I was talking more about the riding position. The 04-05 has a longer reach, and longer fuel tank. So you can "feel" like you're pushing the bars more, which is kinda cool compared to today's 600's where you feel like you're just "hovering" over the bars.

Oh definitely. They are "bigger" feeling.

I heard the U.S. version is almost identical to the Euro version (within a few HP measured) unlike the 2008 model.

The 2009 Gixxer 750 was a pefect fit as well. I would say a hair better than the ZX6r, but you were def. more "in" the bike vs. on top of it. Being on top of it seems to make it feel more flickable.
