Have ridden the Six a few times, each way. Normally on an R1200RT-P, but once on an R1150GS.
FYI, the southbound lane is a shit of a ride. It looks like they dug a ditch down the whole length from Maori Jacks Point to Kingston to install fibre optics, coz they did a shitty job of patching up after themselves. The patch runs the length, and frequently is on the best line into or out of a corner.
Actually, it probably isn't as bad as I recall, but it sharpens the mind, seeing a crap surface on the exit to a swift sweeper.
On balance, not a road to be missed. Just watch the surface. Last time I did it was southbound in thick fog, two-up. Still a cool ride, but fatiguing through having to focus so much on the road surface.

Best touring I've seen.
We stayed the Night before at the Manapouri Lakeview Motor Inn. Real good casual set up owned by a TDM900 rider.
BD biker friendly recommended.
