Default Nice curves

This has got to be one of the best looking bikes in recent years IMO. I think this is next on my shopping list. Might look for a 2005 model next winter when prices are good.

Stunning bike.

Nope!

If I was going for a ZX6 it would be the B1H.

Scoobs - I've heard the ride on the 6R is pretty harsh, true? And how does the seating position compare to your CBR? (I found the CBR a bit tall, for putting foot down and feeling a bit too much like I'm sitting too high)

Have to disagree with you on that one Scobs, the new one is magnificent to look, especially in black.. Here's a link, as it's a big picture.....

The test ride I had on the ZX6 wasn't too bad. I don't think that it is as compliant as the CBR and is certainly more of a challenge to ride quickly. It also wheelies a hell of a lot easier. Seating may be a little lower. I know what you mean about the CBR. First time I rode it I felt like I was sitting on top of it.

I was just thinking how it looks like a old curvy... that tail peice would look rather fine on a curvy sv I think...

Is the fuel tank on that new one the same as the one on the ER-6....
