6R owners, have your say!

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

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

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

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

Matt

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

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.

can't really coment on the 6 cos i've never ridden one.

yes ya have.

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

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.

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.

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?
