ZX6R Vs YZFR6 (2005 Models)

Check it out

just a snippet

Now it was definitely my turn for the ZX6 and I have to tell you, I didn’t need ten minutes, I only needed 10 yards to convince myself that this is undoubtedly the greatest 600 ever built.

They pretty much raved about both. If it came down to looks, I'm with Flash - the new 636 blows the R6 away! Best looking Kawasaki ever IMO notworthy.gif
Hayden who??

i guess thats what happens when u let a monkey ride ur bikes on the track.

Memo to Yamaha:

Animals testing products or products being tested on animals is not the way to go!!!!!!!!!!!

I dropped into midtown briefly today and had a look at the 05,it didnt really do it for me but it was a red one and maybe a green one might look better.

I cant say too much about it without takeing one for a decent ride over some normal roads rather than the salesmans test track but it would definitly be better than the 04 and apart from the wide tail it seems a narrow bike without the exhaust but where do you put your wallet.

I love me Kwikas but the R6 is the best 05 bike ive seen so far, especially from the front. Bloody underseat pipes look horid unless they have twin cans stuffed up there.

I saw a red one last Friday. OMG. It's like a fire-engine red (slightly metallic) with a touch of blood orange in it. It's really unusual and really suits the bike. It was by far the best looking bike in a group of about 12.
Hayden who??

(starts reading)
(gets as far as "...former Fast Bikes editor Colin Schiller...")

If the guy was a consumer product, the box he came in would have "Wankatron 5000" written on it...

Going on his past efforts, this article should contain something between 4 and 11 references to how devil-may-care riders were in the early 80's, between 2 and 7 completely random combinations of handling or power delivery trait and a supposed, contrived and usually erroneous technical cause for it (eg. "...the bike can be braked deep into turns thanks to the new, stiffer swingarm, and the revised fuel injection really helps it pull a higher top speed before Turn 1..."), and some 839 casual remarks on how over the whole thing he is...

Its going to be tough once again this year between them all, remember when the 'all new' zx6r came out in 03, didnt really deliver as most thought.
