Very nice!
Best feeling in the world having a new bike.

I have lots of photos of my old 6 and 250 side by side too, good feeling owning 2 bikes ;)

thanks rod, just been up the old road :finga: ... front end takes a bit of getting used to... but will only report on that fully once the new hops are on... but otherwise i'm slowly getting used to it... it is only a 600 but its still 35kgs more bike than i'm used to ... :twisted:

FWIW i got 249kms before reserve ;)

Hmmm, that design looks awefully familiar... Wonder why that could be. So if your gonna do a 2 flat, we might have to have a J-series shoot out come December. Personally I'd be happy with a sub 2:09 but I might have to revise that target a little.

Nice upgrade!! especially if you do trackdays. Plus that's a limited edition Andrew Pitt Race Replica. What number is it?? (should have a plackard in the top triple clamp near the ignition) Cooper 6R has the exact same bike, his is 17 out of 30 something i can't remember. But he loves his, it's the last model before the 636, but still goes really hard. well done

cheers
Andrew

how long were you on the 250 for?

the 00-03 zx9r has the same design as that, and that is a sweet bike.

i had a honda cb250 for 15 months, the ninja 250 for 7 months...

i do like the headlight design of this mdel 6 and the 9 indeed....

the comment about the gixxer is just a long running joke with BM... no chance of me buying one of them.... and im sure at some stage i'll trade up to something larger but for now the 6 is fantastic 8)
