Almost ready too go on our trip too the South Island!

The ZX6 is feeling a little heavier, the radar is on and wired in too. Bring on Tuesday, also don't call the cops if you see a ZX6/Sheep/Suitcase Hybrid heading down SH1 from Picton on Tuesday afternoon

Thats lookin very smart mate, watchout for one of the South Island farmers doesn't mistake your seat covers for a live one and plug your exhaust.

Take it easy and enjoy the ride!.

awesome..
you really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really cannot loose that sheepskin. I went from Auckland down to Palmerston North, and it killed my ass. You're a brave man to be touring on a 636, awesome sports machines, ain't so comfy tourers! Hopefully the sheepskin will fix that bit.

Good luck dude!

some dick took them from the laundry I can't find them now...

im sure my arse will possibly need some surgery after the full round trip south/north islands. I'm taking the mrs only for the south island leg, hopefully by the time i'm back from the north she will have forgottern most of the pain and forgive me :ride:

I thought the 600RR was a 600cc (for the 600cc race rep class I guess)???
The 600R model is the 636, right?
The morale of the story is this: Unless you're going racing, when the dealer asks you whether you'd like one R or two, go for one! :headbang:

There's a ZX6R and a ZX6RR.

The ZX6R has a 636cc engine for road use (and some race categories)
The ZX6RR has a 598cc engine, so that it can compete in the 600cc class. There's more 636's than 600s, but you can buy either from the same place, and cost pretty much the same
