Default Re: Which K6 for me? 750 Gix or ZX10?

ZX10R Vs. GSX-R750?

The Suzuki would not get a look in. The sensible choice as its probably a better road bike. The 10 is already a Kawa classic though. Its all about the engine for me. Big, gnarly and noisy thou' beats the "big-bored 600"

A green 04/05 is choice. Black and silver, 2nd and 3rd (but cheaper.)

Later ones got all bloaty, and those exhausts, even when Akra-ed (gave away for free to try and shift stock).....Unless you have a wheelbarrow fetish? (Each-to-their-own.)

I'm personally scared of liter sport bikes.. just waaay too much power to actually use (anywhere other than a track.. and not even there).. I just don't have the skill to not be scared...

I'd go with the gixxer.. (p.s. can't wait to get to the "frighteningly awesome" part)

this is a very nice problem to have you our lucky. I would day myself the Gixer, i do love the zx10r but with a 750, you get most of the power but you also get the lighter bike so you can chuck it bout more

Model history, I think you'll find the GSXR 750 wasn't a sleeved or big bore anything, and the 1100 was the late comer, way before to new kids came about (600/1000).

Cheers Mark.

Please tell me the K6 is the one with twin cans.

If so, twin Akros does it for me on that model everytime!

GSXR750 for me, I like corners more than straights.

Afraid not Stu, it's the single short boxy thing on those.
