Just sold the R6 - Page 2

I've rode my buds 06 R6 (which looks exactly like that one) several times. Never liked it. Ergos are too harsh and no power below 8k.

That's becoming every 600. Smaller, lighter, faster, more cramped, more high strung, more painful, more hunched over, more useless on the street. The liter bikes are inching that way too, minus the complete lack of low end power.

Nah....the 600rr is like a couch and my 09ZX6r is right in the middle. I like the ZX6r and Gixxer the best..giving the slight nod to the Gixxer.

The ZX6r has VG midrange power for a 600, like night and day from the R6. Though with a pipe, gearing a remap, the R6 is a another animal.

Well I have an expendable 10k so I've change direction a little and may be picking one of these up after I visit the dealer.

I can get with either of those bikes! Sick choices.

Where do you plan on riding with it? Big trips I guess?

Hopefully not everyday commuting. I rode some KTM's on the street (SMC and SMR) and got tired of the brake dive in stop and go traffic. Big difference from a sportbike.

I don't live in the city, I take back curvy roads 30 mins to work everyday usually without another car in sight. I don't think I'll ever be back to sport bikes unless I buy one strictly for the track
