That's becoming every 600. Smaller, lighter, faster, more cramped, more high strung, more painful, more hunched over, more useless on the street. The liter bikes are inching that way too, minus the complete lack of low end power. :no:

Nah....the 600rr is like a couch and my 09ZX6r is right in the middle. I like the ZX6r and Gixxer the best..giving the slight nod to the Gixxer.

The ZX6r has VG midrange power for a 600, like night and day from the R6. Though with a pipe, gearing a remap, the R6 is a another animal.

Sorry & Congrats

Yeah I'm going to be looking at a bunch of different bikes. Right now it's between a KTM and a BMW. I may wait to see what the new dual sport suzuki is hinting towards, but I doubt I'd ever own a Suzuki

Local dealer has a 2008 Super Duke hold over marked down to $9,000.

Those give me wood

Well I have an expendable 10k so I've change direction a little and may be picking one of these up after I visit the dealer.

I can get with either of those bikes! Sick choices.

Where do you plan on riding with it? Big trips I guess?

Hopefully not everyday commuting. I rode some KTM's on the street (SMC and SMR) and got tired of the brake dive in stop and go traffic. Big difference from a sportbike.

I went to DS riding and won't go back to sportbikes. Best move I ever made.
