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?

It's zachary the same. Just colours are different. :roll:

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.

Mate it is about how you put the power down....... Kawasaki have just proved it by lowering the peak power of the new 10 donk and smoothing out the way it is delivered. Hence why a 6 will suck the fairings off your fat old B as it slides around the outside of you through turn 1. :lol:

We will swap bikes at the track and I will prove how much quicker you will be on a 6. I will hop on yours and try and keep up with you out of the turns. Your fat old B is gunna be bouncing off the limiter and bucking, kicking and slithering outta every turn. You will see :lol:

mate you know I dont think about what I post here, it just spews out.

oh and as for my 6 being castrated, you're just used to putting along at 6000 rpm... you gotta put in a bit of effort and not be scared of the redline, that's why it's so rewarding.

Have owned 2 ZX6's, won't own another one.

Have owned 1 ZX6 with 2 different engines, won't own another one.

It means I've been very happy with the 2 i've owned, but I'm getting too old to ride 'em.

It means I've been very sad with the 1 I've owned, and I'll upgrade to a better bike... :wink:
