I spoke to a guy on a Blue ZX6 today, and he seemed very excited about the fact that they had arrived. Damn, i won't be able to beat him in a race if he gets one

Hey King ....bike means nothing if the rider can't ride 4 shit! :wink:

Always get a kick out of rounding up the carpark queens on the lastest thou's!

On a side note seen an 06 R6 @ Team Homo dealer near my house today.

I am personally not a huge fan of what they did to the front of them its a little too round and doesn't seem to sit as nice as the 05.Don't get me wrong they are a beautiful bike but it doesn't do enough for me to want to trade up. I haven't seen one in the flesh yet either maybe then i'll change my mind.

What do people think of the under seat exhaust i wasn't a huge fan when i seen it at first but its slowly growing on me.

I reckon ............remove the heat shields, aftermarket cans + fender eliminator would really tidy up the arse of the bike.

The exhaust is bulky, actually the rear of the new 10R reminds me of a stumpy tail lizard.

However I think it looks awesome.

sorry mate..they just called me (apparently they couldnt get u..dunno where they got my number-but hey, that spoils a good practical joke neway)...but ur bike isnt gunna be ready...it seems they stuffed up the order & only sent the girly pink ones, so u gotta wait another 3 weeks to get urs..so u might as well go to sleep and not bother going in 2moro...

thanks for the update neka... saved me a phone call...

anyway, had a look at the bike... test ride was good... real good... but on day to day riding, I dont find enough change to warrent my upgrade. I understand that on the track, it'll make a big difference, but on the road... hmmmm... (Was I expecting too much?!)

Cognitive Dissonece before I even buy it... hmmmm... Anyway, its here, got a couple of days to decide if I want to keep it or back out...
