for 10 grand or a bit less you should be able to pick up a 03 maybe 04 zx6

I just had a quick look

also look at http://www.bikepoint.com.au

and http://www.autotrader.com.au

you might even be able to trade your current bike on a 2nd hand bike at a store.

go the zx6 dude you will love it

My 96 ZX6R has just clocked 70k and is reliable as,use everyday for work and weekend thrashings up the mountains,so from my experience yes they are reliable just look for regular service history (Naturally :!: )

Go a 6r mate :wink: they are quick nimble & can also fuk u up pretty easily if ya not careful.....biggest tip I can give is don't be a dickhead & think your a hero....at no time should your riding be EGO BASED!!!!!!! I have been riding bikes for 20 years & there is still plenty of people out there quicker than me....I know of people that have only been riding a couple of years & they blitz me.....good for them, personally I ain't that worried. Anybody can go fast, it's knowing what 2 do when it all goes to shit that matters, this will come with experience & time, & believe me, there will be times when all the experience in the world won't count for shit cause you can't control what other people do. Valentino Rossi would be the best rider in the world currently, you think that his team only has 1 bike because he is so awesome that he won't crash......i don't think so. Take things slowly & fuk what your mates say, you've gotta be comfortable with the decision :wink:
Happy shopping :)

ur mates who got bored of their 600's, are there names broc & kevin?? or adam & andrew?? cos unless they are, i dont kno many aussies who can outride a 600...certainly not on the road...

is this just another case of wankers who think they kno everything but in reality they are str8 line heroes??

dude i did my time on a zx6r...and it was the best bike i ever owned.... well maybe except the 929....but thats a whole nother story...

go for a 600 or an older 900, ull find a 96 typre 900 wont be that much more HP than a more current 600 ne way...

At 120hp they're more powerful than old litre bikes.
