I went and picked up my new bike today.

Shes a 1999 Kawasaki ZX-6R.

I love it!!

27,000kms on the clock. In awesome condition. I had a bit of a ride around Palmy and Fielding and I seriously didn't want to stop. Shes a bit of a step up from the litte FXR. That exhaust sounds awesome!!

Cheers guys. It's in whole other world compared to the FXR, but I'm not finding the power overwhelming, which was what I was worried about most coming from such a small bike. I can't get enough of the sound. That Micron muffler is awesome

Nope, I'll still be on the FXR for a while yet. The lack of insurance is a huge deterrent. (I so wish I could bring it though)
