06 ZX6-R
Took my bike to the dealer yesterday after my recent 'off'...anyway they've written the bike off pretty much.
They just happened to mention they had a 2006 ZX6-R demonstrator in and would i like to take it for a spin for 30 minutes
Would I?
An awesome machine and I'm seriously thinking about stumping up the £6300 asking price [once I get my pay-out]!!
The induction noise was phenomanal....
Anyone got one? What do you think to it??
Or am I asking in the wrong place?

Power delivery and grunt I can't really comment as I haven't ridden any of the other modern 600's....all I know is it was much quicker than my J1 ZX6-R and I though the power delivery was very smooth
I'll have to get myself out on the new R6 / Gixers etc....

One of THE best bikes out there let alone for a 600, good all rounder by all accounts, shop round though cos there were some great deals on last years models. This does mean they arent worth a great deal 2nd hand so as ever, think twice about buying new when year old seconds are so reasonable £££
Sound great and rev looney

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
They are great bikes IMO but the looks leave a little to be desired.
If you get one though, do not pay £6300 for it. have a look / phone round a few dealers they are available for about £5500 new or even less if you get a pre-reg one.
Or buy my B1H for even less.....
