Thanks all for the great comments.
Regarding the comparison:- I loved my Sv and she has only been gone a few days, and yeah i was sad changing..............until i rode off in this girl. I cant explain how much i love this bike.
I dont want anyone on here 2 get me wrong, i am not knocking eitha my sv or sv's in general, and these views are mine alone, but the 6R feels so well balanced, of course shes a lot newer but everything is so much lighter. The gears feel so tight, and the slipper clutch is a great addition as on the sv there were many occasions where i was changing down in a hurry and the back end would lock up a tad. The clutch is so light that you can change with 1 finger, and the front brake is the same. I was told off one guy you can do 1 finger stoppies and i think hes right, braking with no more than 2 or 3 fingers.
The brakes are also nicely ballanced with the front end being way more loaded than the back.
The overal balance of the bike feels near perfect. Even the riding position was a pleasant supprise. I had read on many review sites that the ride was hard and unforgiving, and while it is firm its not at all bad. You are slightly more prone, but again, i was expecting you to be right over the tank and thats not the case at all. You are anly slightly more prone than you were on my svs.
I just want to go out on her all the time, shes an absolute pleasure to ride. Mind im not an all weather rider, and i used to tense up on the sv in thw wet, so i will no doubt be the same on the ninja, even though id say she inspires confidence.
Overal i cannto say anything bad about her, even this morning while waxing her i was admiring her fine lines.........very happy kwak owner here..........but i have nothing but praise and thanks for my previous 2 years on the trusty sv

I really really like Kwaks. Strange then that after over 25 years of biking I have never owned one. Well apart from a KE175 when I was barely out of shorts. I like that one alot.

I was the same, wanted a ZX for the last 3 years but always stayed with Suzuki. Looking forward to picking my 05 Ninja up Wednesday but the test ride sold it to me totally
