6R owners, have your say!

[Strika]

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.

Can't wait to do a trackday with you Vince I will give you a pretty graphic demo of how a 636 hauls arse in front of you exiting the turns

Come for a ride with me one day and we can swap bikes. As long as you don't mind me thrashing the crap outta yours to keep up with mine

[ttc]

I'm going to try to have the best of both worlds... keep the 6 and the z1000..

[the kid]

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!

Yer those 9 owners who have to park and stitch a 6 back together on the side of a road , hey Vince . We've been "talking them up" ever since
You've been having too much Carbon Fibre for brekky Nikos

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.

Mmmm a Z1000 with fairings , , sounds like a ZX9R to me

Gotta Luv the 9

Got that right - I did a quick run down to Nimmitabel this morning, to check out some leather jackets - bloody hell the 115k stretch to Cooma and back very boring, very policed, and very sore arse cheeks - at least the 35k stretch out to Nimmity and back was worth the run mmmm

[matchan]

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?

Yeah, love my 6R, its my second, first was a '97, current one is an '03

I had a pretty 6 before the 9. The Buzz Lightyear colour scheme. Very happy with, very unhappy with the mechanic that crashed it.

hey I gotta do something with it ... you dont seem to want it

[RichB]

Yeah I have an 05 636 and I love it. I can't say enough about it, its just phenomenal. I can't imagine the 10 though, sounds like overkill that you'd never get to explore the limits of. And if that has the same characteristics as the 6 it would be a very difficult bike to keep the reigns on!

And I spose hp is a factor with 600s, it's definitely got it, only problem is you have to be post 10,000 rpm to release them, but then they are race bikes afterall so I can't complain.

Have owned 2 ZX6's, won't own another one.

yes ya have.

not a real one.
or have all 6s been casterised?
hehehehehe

[diesel]

Strika. def gonna take u up on that offer.
and i don't mind u thrashin the 9. i try to
as for the track. i'll def give it a shot.
but as i'm sure u'll agree, with the same corner speed, the 9 will just dig in and haul arse outta the corner, better than any 6 in the slow group anyway :D

and bill, what can i say. nikos must have the only 6 that doesn't like running. and has had its balls cut off, judging by the way this lot are carrying on.

and smek, remind me, how long did u think about ur comeback b4 posting them.

[diesel]

Have owned 2 ZX6's, won't own another one.

does that mean ur happy with the one u've got?
or ur not satisfied and need something with balls? like a zx14 for example?

It means I've been very happy with the 2 i've owned, but I'm getting too old to ride 'em.

[cath_636]

i have an 04 zx6 and i agree with a few others here...its the best all round 600 on the market so there's no need to brag or go on about it ! lol its an unspoken thing

i have ridden a 12 too....lots of power but just not my cup of tea...bit like a boat

i haven't ridden the 10, but i want the 05 10 for my 2nd bike...the 6 has alot of power, but when you get on something bigger you really notice alot of differences.....and makes it harder to get back on the 6 [speaking personally here].

Any views from ppl who have seen the 06 10 in the flesh? would be interested to read some from those who have had a test ride?
