Im gonna sell my fz6 2006 for a kawa ZX6R 2008....

im gonna do this for these reasons:
1) you can operate the clutch with half a finger
2) transmition is like butter, just a little movement on the lever and the gear is sucked in...the feeling is something like half the feelling of the fz6 when the gear doesn't go in.
3) very well mapped engine, no jerking, after 10km of driving i was so familiar with it that i rev matched better than i do with the fz6 after 4 years
4) passenger can go NOWHERE he HAS to follow you
5) no turbulance, very smooth air comming from the fairing for both the passenger and the driver
6) -and most important- i found that this bike suits my and my passenger needs, better than the fz6, it gives me everything i ever wanted

and two negatives
ZX6R 2008 can give up on you if you dont care for it
i found the clipons a bit strange but i think this can be fixed

in general, after the test ride, i only had two words to say:
wow, SMOOTH

Very cool that you found a bike that suits you=) However, have you tried the 2009 model? It's supposed to be the best 600 out there atm. Won all kinds of tests in it's class. Just a heads up ;)

Nice choice I have always liked the Ninjas, although in comparing to the FZ6 it really is a different bike (And costs more :), it should handle better at the minimum :)

You never know you might want to upgrade it to a 2009 model after you test ride one :)

Enjoy your new ride ! (Oh and are you getting the black one in the pic ?)

I hope you enjoy it :) I was actually thinking of buying the 06 model, which looks exactly like this one (except for a small change in the tail). That one had the famous 636 engine in, but I couldn't find one at the right price.
