hehe just kidding, wanted to know actual numbers here of owners or previous owners. Thanx.
Cant go past a 6R!!!!!!
(might even allow other under litre class bikes to have there say)
Dont you agree that if a 636 isnt fast enough for you.... you arnt riding it right...
What do you think?

600 is fast enough for me but I want more.

Crashed my first 636 (02 model)...
Replaced it with 04 636...
I don't need a big bike to compensate for any appendages...

Amen to that - I just cannot *fit* on a 600 any more in comfort

, and I don't apologise for having out-grown the lack of hp that anything under 1 litre has.......so there you go
But everyone has there own favourites, the important thing is that you enjoy what
you ride, I sure as hell love riding my 12, but I also like riding heaps of other bikes as well.......none of which have remotely the hp of the El Grande

well, had a 99 6R for a year or so, then sold it for a house deposit. Was a good bike but bit small physcially. I'm 6'3 and 90 odd kg's. Well 2 years later bought the 12R and really love it.
PS totally smoked my fly shit weight mate on his 636 yesterday.
any 12R owners want to have their say and hijack this thread?

I love my '01 ZX6. Would've rather had the '02, but the '01 is enough fun for my first step up from a two fiddy.
I can't decide whether to get the 07 636

or move up to a 9 when it's upgrade time. Oh well, plenty of time to ponder that one.

can't really coment on the 6 cos i've never ridden one.
but comin out of corners at winton, i was all over the 600cc bikes and a couple of 750s as well.

what is it about 12 owners that they have to constantly go on and on about their bikes... I call it hayabusa syndrome. All the mags say the busa is better (even though we know its not) so they seem to feel the need to 'defend' their bikes.
9 owners are almost as bad.
Us 6 owners know we have the best bikes and so dont need to constantly talk them up.
Lets hope no one takes me too seriously!

Smek, I promise you this mate - when I come to Victoria, I will *gladly*

give you the keys to my 12..........you can take it for a *short* ride

.........
and I guarantee you will then understand why 12 owners go on and on
and on and on and
on and on and on....

Gosling if its comfortable its not a sports bike

nah just kidding just dont try to do 200 kms of straight freeway the seats wherent meant to be sat on.
There a good thing for weekend blats and trackdays the 6r but for longer runs theres better things just wish they made a z1000 with fairings i can see them getting very cold and wet.
