the zx is a nutty bike (apparently) i would love one .. but im 17 so that wouldn't happen

my dad had a 99r6 and couldn't stand it, cramped(even for my mum),way to revy,gutless unless you made it scream

looks nice though

The zx7r is an awesome bike to ride......

Once you've jacked up the rear ride height and dropped the forks a bit, before doing that it can be a bit of a tank to manhandle round the corners.

I love mine, there's a zx636 and an older zx6r in the garage with it and it's the zx7r that gives me the biggest grin!

It's an iconic bike in my opinion and well worth getting.

Oh, by the way.....£75 FC for the year for me on mine

+1 On what BC just said! Love riding the 7 but it's not quite as flickable as the 6 as standard, it is a heavy lump but great fun to ride.

Not ridden either of that age, newer R6 I tried wasn't my cup of tea. Tried a ZXR750 though and it was a right laugh, they've got an evil howl to them and pretty useable low down too.

R6 vs 7R no contest, no replacement for displacement.

Surely every one's different? I'm 6'2 and I found the 'S' more comfortable than my old naked and they're supposedly more uncomfortable, or that's what I was expecting atleast.

The r6 is tiny though...

the naked is bloody uncomfortable with the stock rear sets and skinny bars

wide bars and good rear sets makes it feel so much better
