you sure? as far as I'm aware they only do tuneboy for these makes

KTM
TRIUMPH
MZ
MOTO GUZZI
APRILIA
BENELLI

their latest update says they are working on a compatible version for the Suzuki ECU, but that's not ready yet, and I can't find any mention of Honda on the website.

Mind you I'd be interested in that as my brother has an SP1, so if you could find out details I'd appreciate it.

I've fired off an email asking them about it and whether they cover any other makes not listed on their site, see what I get back.

Cheers Mark.

The thing is in the UK all the press focus their "Road-Tests" on performance. In this article they may have chosen typical UK weather and roads but the fact remains the results are focused on which is the best Sports bike.

Also note the CBR600F was still available "new" at the time, it's not featured in the test though.

They do make a few notes about comfort etc but I know what you mean. But then again that's what most people buy a 600 sport bike for, performance, if you want comfort get a Goldwing.

But theres no point having a really fast sports bike that you can only ride for half an hour at the time.

I threw a leg over the 08 r6 on wednesday and even VT said I made it look like a toy.
Yeas its a great bike and will out perform mine, if I have to get off it every half an hour for 20 mins to sort my back out its pointless.

I would rather trade off slightly on performance and have a little comfort anyday.

Most 600 are basically a track tool with lights etc but in reality most never see the track and are used for rideouts and pleasure so why have out and out performance at the cost of a good days ride?

I know what you mean. I am thinking about getting a sports 600 next year to replace the SV but I find the SV pretty uncomfortable, god knows how i'd cope on an R6 and I'll never utilise the extra performance.

What about an older ZX6R then? They are much less focused.

I have considered it but then the word older mixed with the word Kawasaki doesn't fill me with confidence.
