6R owners, have your say!

Post by Stereo »

hehe just kidding, wanted to know actual numbers here of owners or previous owners. Thanx.
Cant go past a 6R!!!!!!

(might even allow other under litre class bikes to have there say)

Dont you agree that if a 636 isnt fast enough for you.... you arnt riding it right...

What do you think?

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.

Amen to that - I just cannot *fit* on a 600 any more in comfort :oops: , and I don't apologise for having out-grown the lack of hp that anything under 1 litre has.......so there you go :roll:

But everyone has there own favourites, the important thing is that you enjoy what you ride, I sure as hell love riding my 12, but I also like riding heaps of other bikes as well.......none of which have remotely the hp of the El Grande :P

:D

well, had a 99 6R for a year or so, then sold it for a house deposit. Was a good bike but bit small physcially. I'm 6'3 and 90 odd kg's. Well 2 years later bought the 12R and really love it.

PS totally smoked my fly shit weight mate on his 636 yesterday. :finga:
any 12R owners want to have their say and hijack this thread?

I love my '01 ZX6. Would've rather had the '02, but the '01 is enough fun for my first step up from a two fiddy.

I can't decide whether to get the 07 636 :wink: or move up to a 9 when it's upgrade time. Oh well, plenty of time to ponder that one.

what is it about 12 owners that they have to constantly go on and on about their bikes... I call it hayabusa syndrome. All the mags say the busa is better (even though we know its not) so they seem to feel the need to 'defend' their bikes.
9 owners are almost as bad.

Us 6 owners know we have the best bikes and so dont need to constantly talk them up.

Lets hope no one takes me too seriously!

Gosling if its comfortable its not a sports bike :D nah just kidding just dont try to do 200 kms of straight freeway the seats wherent meant to be sat on.

There a good thing for weekend blats and trackdays the 6r but for longer runs theres better things just wish they made a z1000 with fairings i can see them getting very cold and wet.
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?
