dizzyblonde, the zx6 is enough at the moment for me , i dont see the point in a 1000cc bike for the roads, you cant really use all the power, size doesnt matter its a myth that it does , its how you use it lol, !!

With an attitude like that, you will last a lot longer out there :)

I never saw the point either, thats why I had a 650 for 6 years before I went up a bit. Theres times for the SV, times for the Rap, and times when I dare to take the daddy.

Today is the time to take the car ..... again :smt093

you should have a go on my c1h (55 plate ) the suspension is harder that later models and just handles like a dream as long as theres no bumpy bits.

thats the thing, i had a quick blast on a 56 plate 636 bloody scarred me a bit , but when i hit a bump in the road i smashed my ******** off the tank , when i took the k7 zx6 out (which i bought) on the same bit of road it just glided over it, but they are both fantastic machines , i hope mine doesnt decide to get sick of me anytime soon and throw me into a bush or infront of an oncoming bus!!!!

Congrats on the new bike, only thing wrong with it is the Colour.
Posting a pic off your licesne plate number is a no-no, edit that picture.
Now for the **** taking bit
A 600 wild and a bit of animal.......:smt082
Oh boy, good thing you didn't get a real fast bike, like a zx10-r, the difference is massive.
I doubt you could feel any difference between the zx-r and gixer other than the riding position, for us normal mortals they are the same, boys racing in supersport etc would feel the real difference.

whys the licence plate a no no, anyone walking down a road could get my details off my bike when ever they please so what difference does it make putting it online, the 600 is still quick enough to be wild and a bit of an animal, handfull whatever you want to call it, you get it wrong and its not going to forgive you its a machine, it doesnt matter whether your doing 165 flat out on a 600 or 185 on a 1000 you still wont have much chance of surviving it, the main difference with the zx6 and gsxr was the way they rode and the position as i said, im not saying that the gsxr was any slower as i didnt give them a thrashing but the zx6 suited me personally more than the gsxr

I like the colour. It's a bit bright and sickly but my old Z650 was that colour so I have a fondness for it. Reminds me of a time when I was much more stupid than I am now.

thanks mate, i was a bit dubious of the colour at first but then thought at least the cagers will see me coming, and if its a kwak its got to be green:D

because putting it online multiplies the risk by a few million.

Someone nefarious walking down the road would have to see your bike at the exact time they needed the licence number for something and if they didn't put it on another Kwai would only be a mild inconvenience anyway.

Online however any of the billions of people on here and millions from the UK could search and potentially find your bike at any time from this moment on.

But it's up to you if you want to take the risk, programs like tin eye and google reverse image search however are only getting better and making it easier to find stuff like this.
