ZX-6R or GSXR owners?
Are they any good and would i like them?
Went out for a ride with a mate who's just passed his DAS last night and got himself a new Fazer. We did half the ride on our own bikes and then swapped over and i rode the Fazer the second leg and he had the SV. Not saying i want a Fazer but riding a different bike made me think i need a change. Got the blessing from the missus to chuck a bit of cash at a second bike and the favourites of the moment are either the ZX-6R or a GSXR 600/750 (the silver/white only).
Really liked the feel of the Fazer, the slick brakes and rock solid stability at speed (i looked down at the speedo and was doing well over a ton without realising i was even remotely near that sort of speed, the SV would have been shaking itself apart by then and feeling like it was on ice). BUT, i HATED the engine, stupidly, stupidly revvy, felt like it had no guts at all even though the speedo said otherwise - so basically my question is - are the ZX-6 and GSXR engines anything like that or with their extra tuning do they have noticebly more balls? Guessing Gixxer 750 is probably the best bet but what are the 600's really like from anyones experience? Ideally i'd like to go the 600's due to purchase price/insurance but if they are remotely sewing-machine like i dont think they'd be my bag.
