At least I'm not the only one. The only time I took a 600 for a spin (1999 ZX6R) I couldn't get confident on it. Felt too flimsy, unlike the 12 which to me feels a lot more planted and stable. Even the 9s don't feel as planted as the 12. It depends on what suits the rider.frogzx12r wrote:That was actually my point Strika, I didnt like the 600 at PI at all.
Wanted my 12 bad, that flowing sort of track would suit it I reckon.
I am not talking racing here, just a fast road/track ride. Sure you couldnt just slam open the taps but thats half the fun. I reckon EC would suit it too, but it will NEVER weigh under 200kg, I am not COMPLETELY stupid.
I would be way quicker on either track on the 12, not because its better, just that I didnt really LIKE the 600 all that much and my 12 suited my pissant riding "style".
I like my women with a bit of meat on em too, comes when you enjoy the ride more than what other ppl think it looks like![]()
Luckily what suits one does not suit all.
What's all the talk about the 12s being heavy?? Sure they carry a few pounds, but they're not much heavier than the ZX-7R which are only 12kg lighter!!
