The new ER650 looks OK to me to bad this thing out performs it in everyway...
As for the ZX6R I like it but think it would have to have alot of performance improvements for me to trade my 05' ZX636 for it. It certainly doesn't have the raw curb appeal. Hell I think I like the lines of the ZZR better, but that may just be my 80's roots showin'

You're kidding right? The FZ6 feels anemic- to put it nicely. And the "R" is detuned from that.

Yeah but the FZ6 was originally the R6 which means it has potential...Really though the parallell twin Ninja has only 65 ponies and 44 ft lbs of torque, whereas the FZ has 90 hp and 43 ft lbs...I know the power delivery characteristics are different but I think the FZ6R wins the engine wars hands down.
Then the 180 sized rear tire vs the 160 rear on the Ninja, styling is subjective, the aftermarket will cure the exhaust on both, ergonomics being almost identical with the FZ6R having remotely better passenger accomadations. the price diff is only $200, I know which one I am riding away.

Stealth black 05 zx6r, with gold forks/wheels - gotta be the best looking zx6, but I think I'm the only person ever who thinks that body style was hot.
